I am honored to lead the PUG group in the Kansas City area. It is my belief that “if photographers will treat each other like colleagues: teaching, helping, and supporting one another, everyone’s business will be successful and the industry as a whole will grow.”

Rick and Javina's Wedding!

August 22, 2009

We had a blast shooting at the ThornCrown Chapel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas

for the Rick and Javina's wedding ceremony. Javina was breathe taking!

The reception followed was located at the Historic 1886 Cresent Hotel.

What an amazing locations for a wedding and reception.

I feel so blessed to have been apart of this special day in their lives.

Rick and Javina are the perfect pair!

From Oahu!

Highlights from Oahu Workshop 2009

We had an amazing time in Oahu Hawaii!  

My husband and I had the opportunity to attend Mike Larson's Workshop. In just a very short time we were able to learn from the best in the wedding industry. We are inspired and challenged to put excellence in every area of our business. 

Thank you Mike and Rachel for sharing your hearts and passion for photography! 

We had a blast shooting Jonathan and Lisa.

We had a pre-wedding shoot at the Kansas City Country Club Plaza and we had amazing weather. We started shooting at 6pm and finished up around 9pm and had so much fun!

There is young love in the air when you are around these two.

They are soooo sweet! I am so happy for you both. They didn't want to see each other before the wedding so the images are of them separately. I love that!

Thank you to Lisa's bridemaids Claire and Rachel for being so helpful!

You were so beautiful in pink!

Thank you to Cassie my assistant for always being 3 steps ahead of me. You are awesome!

Rick and Javina Engagement Session

Rick and Javina love the Nelson Art Musuem in KC so we selected that location to shoot their engagement photos. We had so much fun shooting. They are a fun and young couple. You can see the love they have for each other in every moment I spent with them.
Congrats Javina and Rick on your wedding and I am excited to be a part of it.

Ethan and Beilei Wedding

I loved shooting Ethan and Beilei's wedding! They are such a cute couple!

Beilei and Ethan graduated from KU. Ethan now has a degree in Japanese. Congrats Ethan!

The wedding was amazing! The wedding was on the family farm and I really wanted to capture the heart and farmland of Kansas.
