{Anniversary} Jessica + Ryan

Happy first anniversary, Jessica and Ryan!

{Products} 2011 Christmas Cards

Yes, it's April. And yes, Christmas was MONTHS ago ... but we still had some fabulous holiday cards ordered, so I thought I'd share. Even if I'm 4 months late. :)

{Wedding Album Design} Emily + Joe

I'm excited that Emily and Joe's wedding album design is ready to share!

There were so many beautiful details and moments, it was really a task to narrow it down for this fabulous album.

{Wichita Senior Photography} Anna

I met up with Anna and her Viola last week for some beautiful spring portraits in Wichita. It's so fantastic when a senior brings an element of their personal life into their portraits. It's even more cool when it's instrumental and I get a little serenade while taking their portraits. :)

Especially when beautiful light is involved.

Just loving this in black & white!

Last two!

{Products} Megan + Paul's Engagement Album

Megan and Paul's engagement album is simply fabulous! I'm so excited for them to see it. :)


A few details of the album - start from upper left - 1) A quote Megan & Paul exchange frequently. 2) Name/date graphic element on the front. 3) A nice closeup. 4) A graphical element on the page.


A beautiful album spread - one of Megan's favorites. :)

{Lawrence Engagement Photography} Brittany + Cory

From almost the first time Brittany and I talked, she was enthusiastic about having engagement photos in Lawrence. IN Allen Field House. As die-hard KU fans, she and Cory have been to a plethora of games, including Late Night at the Phog.


We set a date and Brittany did a TON of legwork to get the necessary approval for us to go into the Phog for some portraits.


Of course, we took some outside ... and in one of my favorite locations in the hallway.


I just adore seeing the progression of KU's mascot through the years.


Next, we headed out on campus.


SO beautiful!


We also made a stop at The Oread Hotel, where Brittany and Cory were staying. Gotta love the observation deck (far right). Then we headed downtown.


We found this location COMPLETELY by accident, but I love it!


Of course, a few downtown.


With such a fabulous couple, Mike and I wish their wedding were next week, not in the fall. :)

{Products} Alex + Seth's Save the Date Cards

I know Alex and Seth's wedding was more than a month ago, but they ordered some beautiful Save the Dates.


Save the Dates are another fantastic way to use engagement portraits (another favorite is in an engagement album).

Alex and Seth opted to use the colors from their wedding on their cards, which is always a fantastic idea.
