Engagement Session: Dorothy & Merrill

I met Dorothy about 4 years ago at a job and immediately liked her! She has such a wonderful presence about her; she's warm, loves to laugh, and her smile is infectious! I was so happy to hear that she and her boyfriend had decided to start a new chapter in their lives: Marriage!

Dorothy and Merrill were a blast to work with! Their love for one another is so evident and genuine.  Their shoot was at Veteran's Lake- the setting of their first date! I'm a sucker for romance and was happy to capture some important places from their dating time together.

Special locations like the view on their first date...

or a fallen tree where they sat and talked to get to know one another...

and the picnic table where they shared their first kiss...Dorothy and Merrill, I can't wait to see what God has in store for you! Many blessings to you as you enjoy this special time of being engaged!

After all...

We love because He first loved us 1 John 4:19

Jordan: Senior Pictures

Whoa, what a crazy month and a half it has been! Sorry for not keeping up on the posts but I'll make it up to you by showing you this good looking guy. Meet Jordan! 

Jordan and his family moved to Kansas about two years ago because his dad Bill was called to serve as music minister at our church. Each person in this family holds such a special place in my heart. In fact, Jordan's sister Leyna was my first photo shoot! Check out her and her sweet honey HERE. This family is such a blessing to know so when his mom Penny asked me to take his senior pictures, I was so honored. 

We were able to take advantage of the gorgeous fall weather we were having in November. Seriously, this weather has been amazing! Like, 60 and 70 degrees in December amazing. I'll take it! We started out with Jordan giving in to his mom's request to wear a dress shirt. You know, for the mom and grandma pics that will be put on display :-) Momma knows best- he looks great!

After a bit though the hat and t-shirt came in to play.

If I didn't know better, I'd think he'd done this before.

Hold onto your hearts ladies!

Mom's choice makes another appearance!

Jordan, you were so fun to work with and my job couldn't have been any easier! Enjoy the rest of your senior year!
