Ok – so you already saw some of the portraits from my photo shoot with this beautiful family last Sunday at their home in Missouri. Now, it’s time for some of the other portraits from our photo shoot 
Wendy turned one last week and she celebrated with a big birthday party on Saturday with her family and friends Enjoy some of these pictures with her cute “One” shirt and her fun balloons!
Whitney & Luke’s wedding was gorgeous – beautiful sunshine-summer day, all of their beautiful friends, great family and supportive community were with them to celebrate their day! Check out part one of their wedding pics here!
This time, I wanted to try something NEW! So, at the reception, we set up a mini “photo booth” – where the guests and wedding party could take a picture (with optional props – like the chalkboard!) to leave Whitney and Luke a message – a “digital guestbook” of sorts The girls were creative, the kids loved it, and overall I think it was pretty successful! Enjoy a few of the highlights
In May 2007, many of you know that Greensburg was hit by a tornado, and nearly all of the town was destroyed. Over the last three years the town has pulled together and made it through this storm – and the town is beautiful. Whitney and Luke grew up in this community and were high school sweethearts, friends for years, and are now husband and wife! Much like Greensburg, they are building a new foundation – they, too, are going through a change and are transitioning into a new stage of life with a new beautiful family and wonderful friends! Congratulations to Luke and Whitney – you are beautiful, and let’s the pictures do the rest of the talking…
There is a story behind this one - whitney was very proud of herself for balancing her very heavy bouquet on her hand!
I have the sweetest job in the whole world. Here’s what I get to do on a semi-cloudy, perfectly breezy, 65 degree mid Thursday afternoon – I get to meet beautiful families, with amazing children, and super-ridiculously-awesome pictures, and capture some still shots of their family that will hopefully be passed down from generation to generation. No biggie…

This family is awesome. Tosha and Kimathi’s son, Isaiah, attends the local Christian school where I placed one of my family portrait sessions up for auction – and they WON! I found out about the Flint Hills Christian School‘s annual auction to raise money for their school for sports, activities for the kids and various other expenses, and I had to jump on board! So, a couple days ago, we met up at this beautiful fountain, that is behind the campus apartment buildings (who even knew this was there?) and started clicking away on one of my new favorite families! Tosha is an english professor at K-State and Kimathi is a Vet – so we naturally had to take our pictures on campus!

Isaiah is trying to mimic his daddy in these portraits, and I thought it was seriously adorable.
Beautiful, beautiful princess - so intrigued by the tall grass!
Because I couldn’t stop picking out my favorites, this post has three parts to it (for part 1, click here; for part 2, click here! This last section is dedicated to the adorable, seriously adorable, facial expressions of Miss Princess Ella! When we were walking around Konza Prairie, we found a beautiful open field with some brush in it and plopped Ella in a basket in the middle, and she loved it! She kept looking out of the basket, in the basket, trying to figure out what was going on, and I think I captured her child like essence through these little moments of inquisitive-ness (yes, this is officially now a word!)

Enjoy these beautiful faces, and I promise, this is the last post of these seriously adorable cuties!
