Roeland Park | Family | Hengler

So we’re entering the Halloween season, and while I was picking through the Hengler’s awesome Fall 2013 session, picking out some great ones to share on the blog…I noticed this “test” shot and thought “…I bet that would look creepy black n white”. HAHA  But rest assured, this super handsome boy is far from creepy…he’s positively warm and friendly…as shown in following picture.

And he’s got the best parents a kid could have!  Any one who knows Kevin, Trisha, and little Crosby, know that to be true.  One of the most beautiful things a parent can do for their child is to give them lots of attention and just play with them.

Kevin:  Growing out a SWEEEEEET stash, went through a whole lifestyle change with the introduction of CrossFit, and has in turn, become one BAMF.   His journey has been pretty incredible to watch…in fact, if you are looking for a lifestyle change, I highly recommend checking out Iron Tribe Fitness in Overland Park that Kevin’s opening…you have to experience it to really understand how it can change your life.

KU Campus | Engagement | Sarah + Katelyn

These two ladies….there aren’t words.  I love and admire them to pieces.  Mostly because they are incredible characters…and partly because they don’t scare easy…like when a crazy photographer at a bridal show {me} nearly attacks them and basically forces them to hire me.  I’m so very glad they saw past any outward signs of creepy, and allowed me into their lives.  We had a great engagement session in the wonderful land of KU….which is where they met and a place that they still hold dear to their hearts.

This might be one of my favorite pictures of all time…like ever.  Thank you mother nature for the gust of wind that made this capture even more magical.  Click-Photography_Kansas-City_Sarah-Katelyn_1012Click-Photography_Kansas-City_Sarah-Katelyn_1013Click-Photography_Kansas-City_Sarah-Katelyn_1014

Spoiler alert…she said “yes!” heheheClick-Photography_Kansas-City_Sarah-Katelyn_1015

Of the many many things I adore about this couple….their humor is #1.  We went to the top of the Oread Hotel to get some neat vantage points….but it was just a TAD windy.  Made for quite the hilarious captures.Click-Photography_Kansas-City_Sarah-Katelyn_1016

“I love you more than Chipotle,” said Sarah to Katelyn.  Anyone who knows Sarah, knows this is HUGE.

THIS!!!!  Like I said…CRAZY AWESOME!Photojournalistic Kansas City Wedding

But we still hustled…Photojournalistic Kansas City WeddingPhotojournalistic Kansas City Wedding

And this goes into Hall of Fame Wedding Day Spontaneous Moments….a Tribute to the movie “Bridesmaids”
Photojournalistic Kansas City WeddingPhotojournalistic Kansas City WeddingPhotojournalistic Kansas City Wedding

Right after I snapped the photo on the left, our Trolly had some turbulence, causing Levi to go flying backwards towards the door…I snapped it just before my ninja fast teammate, Mike, reached out and grabbed him, while still holding onto his camera gear.  That’s why I like to call him Magic Mike (the clean version).
