Alicia & Christopher

It’s so rare to see puppy love in engaged couples anymore. It seems like more often than not, marriage proposals are little more than an exercise in practicality rather than an expression of love. Not so with this couple. I have yet to meet a couple so in love. It was really cute to see how they interact with each other. As they gazed into each others’ eyes, lovingly held hands, and shared gentle kisses, an aura of love enveloped every shot. Let me assure, those smiles are genuine.





Three-year-old on the loose!

Sometimes my favorite pictures I take of my son are the ones with a photojournalistic style. These are just a few fun pics I took of my little toddler earlier this month. He wanted to wear the straw hat (he called his crown) which was fun since my Puerto Rican ancestors probably wore some like these while working in the fields. He was just graceful in it!

All smiles from Weston

At 7 months many children reach certain milestones such as sitting up, lunging forward (to crawl), and standing while holding on to something. Here Weston proved to have an additional milestone: cuteness all session long. What a fun little tyke!



Lindsey & Brett

We shot a classy wedding last month. One Lindsey and Brett exchanged beautiful vows in Gladstone, MO in a grand chapel, filled with friends and loved ones. The ceremony was touching and the reception at Little Theater in Kansas City, MO was a lot of fun. We got a beautiful signature shot of Lindsey and Brett motionless amongst the jubilant dancing at the reception. Here are some of their jaw-dropping beautiful shots to highlight moments of their wedding day.















I think it is hilarious how the guys avoided the garter while Josie {the bride’s maid who caught the bouquet) looked determined to catch it even from before the toss!



Kelly & Dale’s Post Wedding

Since we wanted to take more pictures around campus, Kelly Dale and I met after the wedding and took a few pics. Something I really love about taking having sessions on campus is that every now and then we hear students walk by and shouting “Congratulations!” During this newly wed pictures, Kelly, Dale, and I some-what chuckled when someone shouted “congratulations on your engagement!” This location was a great place to have this session and the weather was actually warmer this day than earlier during the wedding. That Kansas weather for you!

Kim and Daniel are Engaged!

Taking Kim and Daniel’s pictures was so fun! They never stopped smiling! And are such a cute couple! They chose the best day to take pictures!




Couples, Couples, Couples!

I love to meet couples and gain a new friendship! They see the best of their future spouse and highlight it so much. I feel that their love for each other bleeds on to me as I end up telling my husband I love him in a new learned way!
