Oh Miss Madi

Madi and I were introduced when she was probably 4 years old… when her mom was one of diving coaches in high school. Two years ago we took some photos, and MY has Miss Madi grown! She was long-haired and toothless… but look at her now! All grown up and ready for some modeling!

SHH… I snuck a pic with her!

Mary + Bill

Oh. My. Gosh. When I get married I want a wedding just like this! (I should probably get a boyfriend first, no? hehe). It was held at South Park in Lawrence (a block from my house!!!). The wedding was PERFECT. The lighting was PERFECT. It was small, but not too small. Mary’s dress was brown… and it had pockets! She was just SO happy… as was Bill! And you know what the best part of the wedding was (other than the love!)? The SUNFLOWERS! Everywhere! Even the cake had sunflowers! Absolutely beautiful. And, only in Lawrence, but the newly married couple was carted away to the reception at Liberty Hall in a bench attached to a bike. And there were bagpipers… and the entire wedding party walked being the bride + groom to the reception. All of traffic was blocked! Quite a site!

Paige, Joseph, Maury, Emmy, Jeanna, and Mauricio

I was lucky enough to photograph these cuties a couple summers ago when my friend, Meg, was their nanny! Now they’re all grown up… and I can’t believe it! We even got to include mom and dad this time! It was so fun skipping rocks… I even got to join in the fun! Mauricio, however, is the rock skipping master. I think I’ll stick to the camera…

Mel + Mick

She lives here. He lives there. There, by the way, is in England. The most beautiful thing I heard while photographing this beautiful couple is, “If it’s possible to fall in love over the phone… we’ve done it.” So beautiful… and so much love was exuded from these two! Mick works with railroads, which is what brought him to KS which then brought them together!

Elise + mom + dad

This is a new family in town! Before Miss Elise was born, the dogs were the center of their parents world… and now this cutie patootie has stolen the show! She sure knows what to do in front of a camera, too!

Mallory + David

Mal and I met her the summer before her sophomore year of college… and now she’s in the REAL WORLD and ENGAGED! Life is just moving SO quickly these days! The day she first told me about David I knew he was IT. Sadly I will still be in France for their wedding… but I know it will be absolutely perfect!



(Thanks Dustin for this spot and idea!!)
