Before I talk about my last wedding of 2009 (waaaah!!!), I want to say that it’s been a great year. I’ve had a blast migrating my business to a new town and I am so grateful to my fantastic Kansas City couples for taking a chance on me despite my fledgling of a reputation in the KCMO area. 2010 is already shaping up to be a full swing kind of year and i couldn’t have done it without all of my fantastic clients and new friends. Thank you so much!! 
Lurleen and Chris are an elegant twosome with such a great respect for each other! I won’t go into great detail about it, but they have been through A LOT in the past couple of months making their wedding extra special to everyone involved, including me. But despite their trials, Lurleen handled a large portion of the planning and aesthetic of their day which turned out to be quite impressive! Alas, we had hoped for a beautiful and stress-free day and that is just what we got!

In part one of my 2 day adventure with Trinity and Skyler, we went over to Penguin Park in Kansas City. We wouldn’t have split the session in half, except that it was really cold and one of the girls was on the tail end of a cold so keeping her outside felt kind of mean! It really worked out for the better because I traveled overt to their adorable home where I ended up covered in fall leaves (hilarious!!) and then we shared cupcakes for Skyler’s 5th Birthday picture.
My job is amazing.
And now day two!

The Date: 10.17.2009
The Location: The Shores of Turtle Creek – Spring Grove, IL
Coordinator & Flowers: Cynthia of Everlasting Elegant Wedding
You may remember this cooky couple from their engagement session in Chicago’s Millennium Park…you know, the one where they ended up getting soaked by the spitting fountains?? Well, Kate and David have quite the sense of humor so I knew fellow photographer Amy Beth Harkess and I were going to be right in our element documenting their day.
David – the tall kilted man – and Kate adorned in a lovely Wai-Ching dress originally met playing a long-distance game of World of Warcraft, thus the beautifully (mostly) subtle (you’ll see the banner) WOW theme of the day. And between the Nerf guns, zombie walks and princess tiaras their’s was a gorgeous Fall wedding day…
I can just imagine David making some funny comment about Kate’s expression in this picture taken just before she stood at the altar.
Thanks again, Kate and David, for sharing your stunning and playful day with me and have a wonderful married time!!

So….I may be a little biased but I think Tiffany and Robbie going to be the cutest bride and groom in 2010. What?? She’s family and as of next April he will be too! Incidentally – hee hee – I had a fabulous time running around Kansas City with them last month and I’m super excited to document their big day.
Robbie had access to the Western Auto rooftop – super cool – where we started the afternoon and then we made our way to the Crossroads and the Power & Light District…

I know, I know!! I should be ashamed for taking such a long time to blog anything new, but…better late than never, right?! Especially when there is a squishy little baby face to stare at!!
Michael was less than a couple days old when his mom asked me to join her at the hospital. My afternoon just happened to be open so – of course – I packed up my gear and headed right over! When I arrived, I was instantly struck by his thick black hair and oh so long eyelashes. I can’t express how happy brand new babies (other people’s, heheh) make me, especially when they are such sweet and old souls like Michael!
Take a look at my favorites:
