Hunkering Down...

Kansas City is currently facing it's 5th winter storm of the season... And winter has only officially been here for 2 1/2 weeks! It's during days like these, where nothing I do keeps me warm, and the snow continues to pile up outside, that I question my choice in living here. If I could, I would join the birds and fly south for the winter... yes, the entire winter. However, since I am committed to things here, and have yet to develop the ability to fly, I shall do my best to make the best of it. Today, I have decided to pull out some DVDs with seminars from some of the industry's best photographers, and take my plight of being stuck indoors, and turning it into a chance to hone in on my skills, and expand my knowledge base. I am rather excited for this new year. I've had a chance to meet some awesome brides, and am looking forward to all this year will bring. I mean, how cool is my job?! Shooting weddings are like attending a party every weekend! I have the ability to witness and capture one of the most important events in a couple's lives! I can hardly wait for the season to begin! Winter, I know you just arrived, but I am already done with you, so you may feel free to leave at any time.

As all blog posts are better with pictures, I leave you all with an image I grabbed over the holidays.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas, and a wonderful New Year! Here's to warmer weather, and new beginnings!

Cheers!

A Christmas Story...

I recently designed a card for a family very dear to my heart. This was such a fun little project... it took a bit of time, but I believe it was well worth it! This is actually designed as a tri-fold card, totaling 6 panels. Enjoy!

Mini Session :: Ben & Nicole

Whew! Yesterday was quite the busy day for me. I ended my photo shoot whirlwind with Ben and Nicole. They both are teachers and, in fact, it was teaching that brought them together. They both teach younger children, and their passion for what they do shows. The sun was beginning to set as we began our session, providing some pretty sweet light.






Ben and Nicole, I am so glad to have met you both... thank you for taking the time, and for allowing me this opportunity!

Mini Session :: Rob & Kayleigh

They met at church, and over a trivia game of Saved by the Bell, they found they had each met their match. I had a feeling I would like this couple before I even met them, and as they entered the door for our meeting yesterday, I knew I was right. After discussing wedding plans, we got together for a quick mini session before parting ways. Here are a few images from that session... what a great couple!







Rob and Kayleigh, I am so honored to have met you both! Thank you for taking the time to meet with me... it was truly a pleasure!

Mini Session :: Tony & Kit

They met over a cup of coffee, and coffee is what we needed yesterday morning when I met up with Tony and Kit for a quick mini session. It was very cold, but that didn't stop us from getting in some great images.






Tony and Kit, it was such a pleasure to meet you both. Thank you for this opportunity!
