Liz+Jace

Liz+Jace invited us out to their farm to do their engagement session! This photo sesh' came fully equipped with stunningly beautiful horses, some breathtaking countryside, and a simply perfect sunset. We are loving the way this album is coming together. Check out just a few of our favorites that we have found so far...

Jess+Jeremy First Look [Devils Den State Park, Arkansas]

Yesterday was a dream at Jess & Jeremy's wedding at Devil's Den State Park in Arkansas! They were the perfect couple to get April weddings started off right, and they picked the absolute perfect spot to tie the knot. We were so happy to be there to capture it all! We're just getting into these edits, but found a few we like (so far). More coming soon!!!!

Jessica+Tyler [Engagement Photos]

These two were sweet-hearts were amazing! They were so eager to try my crazy ideas like trekking into the woods and doing some fireworks, AND they brought a classic car! Huge bonus! They have been together for TEN YEARS, and their love really shines through in their engagement album. We can't wait for Round II of pictures at their wedding. We are just getting into these edits, but here are a few of our favorites (so far) from Jessica and Tyler's Engagement Portraits....

Sam+Kevin Wedding {The Barn at Timber Cove}

It's our first wedding of the year, and what an incredible start we got off to on this beautiful (and overcast:)) early spring day, at the Barn at Timber Cove in Pittsburg, Kansas. This was our first time shooting at this venue, and it was everything! A beautiful barn complete with pretty countryside, water features, and plenty of woods to sneak off into! The photo'ing possibilities were o'plenty! Not to mention we were blessed with Sam + Kevin who could not have made our jobs easier. They were so easy going, laid back, and kept everything stress free on a day that can sometimes prove to be anything but! The bride and groom said I do mid-afternoon in front of all their friends and family, after we wore them out will all the photography of course! The beautiful couple then capped off their big day in the most perfect way, dancing the night away with all of their wedding guests:) This was one for the record books! 

Check out some of our favorite wedding portraits from Sam and Kevin's Wedding day!

Afton 8-Month

Some of our most favorite photo-shoots have been with this little girl! She is such a model, with a smile that doesn't quit :) Not to mention how good she is getting at posing!  We are just getting into these edits, but here are a few of our favorites so far.  

Baby Tripp

It's been too long since we've gotten to see these great friends of ours! It was such fun day getting to spend some time and finally meet Baby Tripp and take some pics! Today was complete with photoshoot, sushi, and Baskin Robbins. We are Happy & Fulfilled! Check out a few of our favorites from today's shoot below...

Meaghan+Gabriel

I loved getting to meet these two awesome people who came all the way from OKC for their engagement shoot! It's wedding time in less than 60 days! Future Mr. & Mrs. Kaler, we are singing your praises looking at the way these came out! Here are a few of our favorites SO FAR! More to come !

Texas Road Trip

One of the things we love to do most is travel...so we took a fun little weekend trip to Waco and Austin. We didn't take nearly enough pictures, probably because our little adventure was comprised mostly of eating....and gawking. LOL. 'Keep Austin Weird'! Lucky for me I have a gorgeous model I call my girlfriend that travels with me everywhere so when I do get the camera out, she makes it easy for me!


Texas had so much to offer. Too bad we couldn't see it all! We were able to see the Magnolia Market in Waco, the Austin Botanical Gardens, experience 6th Street in all its weirdness, hit some balls at Top Golf, take our first trip to Capital Grille, and more things I'm probably failing to mention!

Kara+Joel

Kara & Joel welcomed in the winter as my first engagement of the new year! You can't even tell from the pictures that it was the coldest day so far. Wrapped up in their winter outfits, they radiated that pre-wedding warmth, and we came away with an incredible engagement album! We met at Schermerhorn Park in Galena, Kansas which always provides a bountiful selection of photographic canvas'. For our urban look, we moved locations into downtown Galena and found some beautiful brick buildings and a sweet old tour bus, painted Carolina blue with mountains on the side! All in all, it was a good day:) Here are just a few of my favorites for Kara & Joel's engagement session! 

Julia+Nathan [Nashville Wedding]

Julia & Nathan found us on Facebook, and we are so incredibly happy that they did! We got to spend the day with these two in beautiful Nashville, Tennessee! The ceremony was held at the Immanuel Baptist Church, and then the reception followed at the Flying Saucer in downtown Nashville! The photo ops' definitely were not scarce as the city provided so well for us. When the day was over, we got to relax and enjoy some libations and awesome conversations with the Bride & Groom and some of their friends. I can't think of a better way to end an incredible 2015 :)

We can't wait to hear from you! We are still booking for 2016 Weddings so tell us all about your big day, and ask about how to save your date! 

Polaroid SX-70

I've acquired one of the true beauties in the photographic world, the Polaroid SX-70. A few short nights ago, I had a fever (for a Polaroid camera). I started researching on the internet to decide what would be the best fit for me. After a couple of hours, I settled on the SX-70, a beautiful masterpiece from the 70's. I was able to find one in good working 'condish' on Ebay, along with a slew of film from the Impossible project, who basically saved instant film on classic cameras like mine in 2009, when Polaroid stopped making instant film. 

Kayla+Jeremy

Kayla & Jeremy's Bullskin Creek wedding was everything you hope and pray a December wedding will be. A touching outdoor ceremony with perfect weather, and a stunning new venue with picturesque views.As December days go, this particular Saturday was a dream. Perfect weather for all the photo'ing :) This was my first time getting to shoot at the new Bullskin Creek in Neosho, Missouri.  The weather, the venue, and this stunning  couple  all worked in concert to create another fabulous wedding! Check out a few of my personal favorites from Kayla+Jeremy's December Wedding at Bullskin Creek in Neosho, Missouri.

I met these two at Devil's Den State Park down south of Fayetteville, Arkansas. One of the first things that I noticed is that these two are truly best friends, so playful with each other, truly in love, and it comes through in their engagement pictures. They have each found 'the one' and it's a beautiful thing! 

Melissa+Justin

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all! Here are a few of my favorites from Melissa & Justin's engagement session at Red Oak II in Carthage, Missouri :) Enjoy

Lydia+Brett

These two lovebirds invited me to their beautiful family property near Seneca, Missouri. The photo possibilities were abundant!! From old tree swings, to beautiful pines, to a creek running through the property, and even had a little bit of fall color left on the trees! Here are a few of my favorites from Lydia & Brett's Fall Engagement Session. 

Gabrielle+Michael [Amadeus Ranch]

Gabrielle and Michael chose the most beautiful place (Amadeus Ranch) to sign the papers and make it official before heading off to their destination wedding in Mexico! Here are a few pictures from their signing. 


Becca+Austin [Engagement] at Red Oak II

It had been awhile since I had a photo shoot at Red Oak II in Carthage, so I invited Becca & Austin to have their engagement 'shoot out there. So many wonderful and colorful possibilities for a Fall engagement session! Here are a few of my favorites from last Sunday! 


Erin + Dan Northwest Arkansas Wedding

Erin and Dan's sunset wedding on Mt. Sequoyah in Fayetteville, Arkansas was pure magic. We love to 'photo' in Northwest Arkansas for a lot of reasons, but Erin + Dan's wedding certainly added to that desire:) Here are a few of our favorites from their big day!
