Madeline + Alex | Engagement

I met Madeline + Alex in downtown Kansas City to do their engagement session.  I planned a route to stop at a couple locations, but when we left, I accidentally went down the wrong street.  When I realized this, I came across a small park...SCORE!
























After the stop at the mini-park, we went to the main location I wanted to shoot at.






































I threw on a long lens and walked down the alley and when I turned around they were doing this....I love it! ;)

















Madeline + Alex were cracking me up the whole day.  I know their wedding will be a special day and lots of fun!

The Oglesbys | Portrait

The more I am around Cori + Nathan, the more I love em. The more I am around Caleb and Ava, the cuter they get.









I love this shot...but my head/stomach did not love it once I stopped spinning ;)


Today ChapStick, tomorrow lip gloss...they grow up so fast ;)

















Not sure which is more awesome...the ChapStick photo or this way too big bag photo ;)





We hit a fountain and the kids had a blast!

Amanda + Mike | eSession

The original objective of Amanda + Mike's photo shoot was to get some great photos. Once we started the shoot, the new objective was either to find protection from the wind and try not to get too cold or to go seek warmth in the sun. Luckily my original plan for the day wasn't completely comprised and we were able to get great photos and not get too cold.

We were planning on going to this alley in Westport. It turned out to be a great spot because there was a little ledge that blocked the wind for Amanda + Mike.


NOBODY PUTS BABY IN THE CORNER...except for PBP. The corner was a great wind-free spot. Mike was full of awesome faces the whole day.





Amanda is double dipping here. She getting warm from the sun and from Mike.























As you might have seen in the sneak peak post, this is Buckley. I had a hard time not laughing as this is how a lot of the walk went. He's a small dog, but he definitely wanted to lead the way and move faster than Amanda + Mike.


So Buckley...what does the PBP logo smell like? ;)





The color on the trees during our walk were beautiful!

Mike is the type of guy who will give you the shirt off his back. No, really, he will. I first met Mike years ago when we were at a Westport bar with some friends. I was wearing a hooded sweatshirt because we were just planning on being at the bar. Plans changed, and the majority wanted to go to a dance club. When I got to the front of the club line, I was denied entry because of my hoodie. Half of our group was already inside, and there was no persuading the doorman. As Holleigh and I turned around to leave in defeat, Mike stopped me and gave me his button up shirt so I could get in, while he sported his white under shirt. To this day, Holleigh and I appreciate and love him for his generosity.

I look forward to shooting Amanda + Mike's wedding because they are genuinely great people!
