This Chambers Bay engagement shoot was shot on a warm and breezy summer night. We had perfect weather for the night-no rain, no thunderstorms, no unbearable heat index. It really was just a perfect summer evening for photos. It was actually Ashlee and Justin that came up with the idea to shoot at Chambers Bay. […]

What is a First Look? A first look is a dedicated, private time for the bride and groom to see each other before the wedding ceremony. Traditionally, the first time a groom might see the bride at the wedding is when she is walking down the aisle. While not every couple chooses a first look, […]

This desert elopement in Joshua Tree proves that sometimes less really is more! There is a special place in my heart for elopements. In fact, I sometimes wished I eloped instead of pursuing a traditional wedding. But when I was planning my own wedding, I thought elopements were only done in a courthouse. I had […]

My first senior session in Kansas City was at Shawnee Mission Park. I had the pleasure of meeting Ella and her mom for an evening of shooting. Shawnee Mission Park is HUGE. You could explore this park all day. I highly recommend this park if you like doing families, seniors, or couples. There is such […]

Kayla and Jerrott’s fairy-tale wedding at Thornewood Castle was an absolute dream. This venue is a 500-year-old Tudor Gothic home known as the house that love built. I was IN AWE when I came on site. And, this venue is just 15 minutes from my home and I had no idea it even existed! Not […]

Rosehurst Garden is one of my new favorite venues. The grounds included a covered terrace, multiple fire pits, outdoor tables and seating, dance-floor, and a bocce ball court. How cool is […]
