Will and Emily, Manhattan

Will and Emily - Thank you, thank you, thank you for asking me to shoot your engagement session! I am really looking forward to your wedding next July! You guys are so cute and I love the way you two love each other - it is really precious! Here are just a few of my favorites from our time together at Annaberg Park, Manhattan hill and K-state gardens.



The beautiful duckies stopped by to add that one touch of romance at Annaberg :)




Will fake re-proposed to her - so cute!




Love this one above and below - perhaps two favorites from the day!
Will actually proposed to Emily on a bridge back in the Wichita area last January, so we decided to stop at one of the bridges on campus to recapture what it may have been like :)


Beautiful ring.
Beautiful k-state gardens...

Picture above could be my 2nd favorite from the day. The colors, the love, the glow, how perfect :)

Amber, Diana and Akiko!














The cutest roommates ever :) Thanks for asking me to take your pictures, girls! I loved watching you guys laugh and have fun together on this blustery, cold Sunday afternoon! I am so thankful to have had those precious moments with you!

Sara and Michael's Wedding

Wow! What a fun, fun event! This past saturday, October 3rd, I had the wonderful opportunity to job shadow Erica May and learn about her strategies and creative ideas for wedding photography! Erica's great spirit and contagious laughter was so encouraging and really helped the day to be calm and relaxed amongst the 700 + guests and bridal party that consisted of over 40 people!! Here are a few of the beautiful shots from Holy Name Catholic Church in Topeka, KS as well as the amazing reception that followed - his family and her family combined to make one HUGE meal, all homemade authentic mexican food, for the 700 + guests!


All of the family members who assisted in the preparation for the big meal wore personalized aprons as a gift from the bride and groom! What a great idea!














Beautiful church!


Thanks again for letting me come along, Michael and Sara! How fun! :)
