Sweet little One

                                          

    

Sometimes the smallest things take upthe most room in our hearts. ~ Pooh 

Meet Baby A. 

She is adorable.

Wait.

Adorable.

                                                       Yes. Adorable with a capital A!!    

             

She was such a sweetie to work with! My babies started at 8lbs..so to have the pleasure of holding a 5lb baby is so much fun!!!

AghhhH! I love baby wrinkles!! :)

It is so sweet to see little ones smiling in their sleep! 

Do you ever wonder what they are thinking/dreaming of?? :)

Oh I just want to squeeze her!!! :)

I love this family! So thankful for the opportunity to be a part of their lives. :)

Clay and Lenell ~Engagement Session (Kansas Photographer)

Meet Clay and Lenell. Clay is an old friend of ours and I already consider Lenell a new friend. She's adorable. Seriously. This is another one of my Internet romance couples. I have been getting a few of those here lately..and I am starting to think there might be something to those "find your match" sites after all! LOL

This is probably one of my favorites. :)

Thanks for such a fun night of shooting! :)

Matt & Lindsay Married!! ~Arkansas City

Blue skies 

Smiling at me

Nothing but blue skies
Do I see

Bluebirds 

Singing a song 

Nothing but bluebirds 

All day long 

Never saw the sun shining so bright 
Never saw things going so right 

Noticing the days hurrying by 

When you're in love, my how they fly 

Lyrics by Irving Berlin

Ok. There wasn't a lot of blue skies. But my goodness was there a whole lot of love! Matt & Lindsay have an amazing story..and you can read more about it here as well as see pics from their engagement shoot here in Wichita. Seriously. Are you still here?

Go! Read it now. :) 

Ah-maz-ing. :)

This sweet couple was married in Ark City at 

First (American) Baptist Church. One of the things I love about this church is the balcony! Especially if I have a second shooter with me. :) Love the shots we can get from the balcony. 

Whenever I shoot a wedding I get a little nervous about lighting.

Ok..I'm lying. I get really NERVOUS. 

Because I have to find places to shoot in the middle of the day. 

Out of the sun.

Middle of day sun= bad photos

I was sooooo happy to see that it was overcast! Yea! :)

and yes. I did my "we're going to get amazing photos happy dance.".

don't judge.

The reception was held in the church gymnasium.

And if you ever want to get ideas on how to transform a gymnasium into a beautiful and stunning and wowza reception. You must talk to Lindsay. Gorgeous.

Wedding cake was gorgeous..I just love all of the sparkly! Grooms cake had Peanut Butter cups on it.This one gets me excited....I'm still not sure how I left the wedding without a piece. It looks Divine. 

I really love this shot. :)

This was a new one for me...when they made their exit...can you guess what it is they are throwing?


Confetti. :)

Thank you Matt & Lindsay for the most amazing wedding day. You were fun, happy, in  LOVE and everything a Photographer hopes for on a wedding day! LOVE YOU GUYS!

Jamie & Kyle Married

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you

Jamie and Kyle's wedding was such a beautiful day. The sun was shining bright and glorious. (yep. Making it 104 degrees..whew!)

But it was so pretty. The colors that Jamie picked were perfect.

Beautiful and bold.

I loved all of the details, the peacock feathers and the candles.

Jamie is a sweetheart. Seriously, a beautiful person inside and out.

It's not surprise that Kyle is smitten with her.

She's a keeper. :)

Her dress was beautiful. Simplicity at it's best.

They both got ready at the Central Christian Church in Arkansas City, KS and then we  headed out to Jamie's grandparents' house for the First Look.

It was the perfect space too! As a natural light photographer..I am a big fan of outdoor pics...and this was a great spot to shoot! :)

So thankful that God gives me opportunities to meet great people.

Congratulations Kyle and Jamie!
