the first look // jason + joanie

golly. i’m trying to find words to describe the gaaalory that filled the little part of the world in emory, texas the day my best friend got married. it was mystical and blissful and all together lovely. i had the honor of standing in support next to her as she became one with her groom–instead of standing behind the camera. ahhh it was such a joy! however, the photographer was a dream and let me take a few pictures with her during their “first look.” this was such a beautiful moment to witness. i most definitely cried. haha  **i also had the privileged of taking some steamyyyy day-after//trash the dress photos in the lake. i’ll be posting those soon!**

five friends

a few weekends ago i walked into a cutie kitchen in kansas city and met these fine people.

 

they were sitting around a table with coffee and note cards, practicing cantonese. CANTONESE. who does that for fun? after quick introductions, i found out that in a few months these beautiful humans are moving to hong kong together. (hence their dedication to learning the language.) i felt so honored to meet them and left inspired by their love & dedication to the people of hong kong. i look forward to the day i get to visit them. cheers to adventurous spirits!

little + big fishes

last weekend i was in KC and i was able to spent some sweet time with the fishes! if you don’t know this family, please do yourself a favor and get to know them. they are absolutely amazing. all of them. this shoot is a mix between lifetstyle photography + family portraiture. they recently sold their house so i wanted to capture a few lifestyle shots inside–you know, the special candid moments. at the same time, i wanted to do some highly energetic family portraiture because that suits the fishes really well. : ) enjoy!
