Kansas City | Model Mayhem

What do you get when you put together a bunch of awesome photographers…a bunch of awesome models…and a whole day of photographic goodness?

Stumped?  ….wellllll let me show you the answer…

Oh and this one is in time for Valentine’s Day.  Check out these juicy heart-shaped lips!  OH YESSSS

Thank you to my lovely Models: Allison and Chelsea.  And even more thanks to the folks at The Studio on Strawberry hill for sharing their space for this event.  It was waaaaay too much fun.   I hope to do it again soon.  :)

Kansas City | The Cave Girls

My fabulous photog friend, Sarah Apple , recently invited me to go to The Cave Girls CD Release Party at The Brick.  This chicas are amazing!  CHARACTER EXPLOSION!  Check out Sarah’s images from the night here.

Kansas City Engagement: Jen + Joe

Check out where Jen & Joe are having their wedding reception!  …Jealous?  Haha!  It just seemed fitting to have some photo-fun for the e-session.

Jen and Joe are KC natives but have migrated to the New York.  So, this was actually a perfect mix of locations to give them a more urban setting…from old home, to new home.YESSS!  THANK YOU WIND!!!  (of course, I cursed it a moment later when it knocked over my light stand and shattered a piece of my expensive gear!…but it was so worth it!)I would like to take this opportunity to say…I want her hair!  Really really bad.Don’t they look like a Hollywood couple?  …I guess that makes me the annoying paparazzi .:)I feel like a traitor to KC on account as I’ve never been to Town-Topic to eat….and I still haven’t, but their fountain drinks are a perfect combo of carbonation & syrup (I’m kind of a harsh critic).  I plan to go back and give their burgers a spin.HOW CUTE ARE THEY!!!!!!!!Joe told me that there used to be a lady who worked here with an old fashion beehive hair style…and when we asked the cooks, they said she STILL works there..and STILL has the hair!Jen…Joe…I love you guys!  I am soooooooo sooooo excited for the next few months to fly by. :)

Sarah - I admrie your website , it has of lot of information. You just got a perennial visitor of this blog!

Kansas City Baby: Mila at 6 Months

I had spur-of-the-moment babysitting duty last week…and while I had the Mila-Monster all to myself, I thought I’d take the opportunity to have a little photo-fun.  I definitely enjoy being an Aunt.  All the fun of the baby, AND I get to sleep all night after she leaves.;)

So…just so that it’s made known…photographing a wobbly 6-month-old ALL by myself is no easy feat (pun totally intended).  I had to entertain using any methods possible.  HAHAHAHA

Kansas City Family: Fager Family

Another family I’m obsessed with…The Fagers.  Very very early in my career as a wedding photographer, I met Karen…and immediately fell in love with her and her ENTIRE family.  Karen’s sister, Kristin, was my very first Destination Bride (back in 2007).  Over the years, Karen & Kristin have definitely expanded their families, with the most ADORABLE children.  Naturally, I feel like I’m now their faux-adopted sister.  Take a look at these awesome images I snagged of my sista-from-anotha-motha and her fabulous hubby, Jake, and their two sweet children, Abby and Bella (…and I say “sweet” because I don’t hold it against Bella for going through some unpleasant teething this particular day, hahahahahahaha).

OH THOSE EYES!!!!!  This beauty is the MASTER of facial expression.  Wonder where she gets it from?  This one is her serious, model look.Here’s a few other ones…A special thank you to all parents of children I happen to photograph during “difficult” times. :)  I’m sure Kristin & Jake probably had a beer or two or three after this session. HAHAHAHA  …BUT SEE!!! They turned out pretty awesome!  Well worth it.
