When choosing a location for your engagement or lifestyle session, or even portraits on your wedding day, think about places that are out of the ordinary.

Chelsea & Justin, Mount Rainier wedding

Alas!! The extravagant, intricate, warm and fuzzy Mount Rainier wedding of Chelsea & Justin on July 30, 2016, has been blogged. With so many intimate personal touches and really great things happening, surrounded by so many wonderful friends, family, and the mountains, this one was SUPER hard to blog. My goal is to post about […]

Erica & Peter | A Nelson Atkins picnic

If anyone can pull off a Beloved engagement session in the Kansas City summer heat, topping at 100 degrees, it would be these two! Besides the heat (or maybe including the heat? wink), this session represented exactly the relationship they have. Fun, fashionable, and relaxed as they picnic-ed at their favorite picnic spot in Kansas City, […]

Sara & Kelly | Beloved at Loose Park

I love photographing couples at places that mean something to them. Places where they spend their time or where they grew up. For Kelly & Sara, they loved being outdoors at Loose Park with their puppies, it’s the neighborhood Sara grew up in, and they love this park! (As we all do right)? One of the […]

A Colorful Prairie Fire Amanda & Gene

Spring is here and colors are everywhere, the dogs love being outdoors and the beautiful midwest sunsets are back. Amanda & Gene claimed they weren’t photogenic nor good at PDA. I beg to differ. What a fun colorful Beloved engagement session at Prairie Fire this week. To the weather, please stay around. You are amazing […]
