We were able to start off the wedding season with a great friend’s wedding. I can’t say enough good things about Chris and I’m so happy that he found
the lovely Liz to share his life with. It was a gorgeous ceremony at the Loose Mansion in Kansas City.

The talented Mark Kegans shot this wedding with me. Any photo without my watermark belongs to this man.

Love the following series by Mark.

 Chris & Liz, we couldn’t be happier for you. Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your day.

Another day, another beautiful baby with a super awesome name.

I love all babies, but I really love photographing new parents. There was never a time when I was more content and happy in my life
than when I was home after having my first-born daughter. I loved drinking in the bliss of that dream come true and not
having one thing more important than staring at my baby.
All. Day. Long.

This baby is stunningly beautiful and was a long-time coming to her parents. I get to photograph her first year, so there will be more of her to come.

Here is another incredibly cute baby who is almost the exact same age as Archer.
He is the sweetest, happiest baby. He smiled the whole time.

I had the chance to go to their darling home last month. They are an adorable family.
Enjoy!

I’ve had a lot of cute babies come through, lately.
This is sweet baby Archie and this was his second professional photo shoot.

(See his first one here.)
COME ON. Look at this cute baby! He just keeps getting cuter.

Why, yes, you are a handsome fella.

Archie actually belongs to friends of ours, so I get to enjoy this face a lot. Lucky me. Love you, Arch!

It has been SIX months since I put a wedding up here! And I had so many great ones last year.
I’m going to start with the last one I finished and hopefully get caught up over the next month or so.

Katie and Mason had a gorgeous December wedding. I can’t believe how nice the weather was for them. We spent a good part of the day outside.
They were married at St Augustin and had their reception at the gorgeous World Food Prize building in downtown Des Moines.

I LOVE the World Food Prize Building. Saley did an amazing job with the flowers and styling.

We loved it!
