I first had the opportunity to document the life of the Van Nice family (Jennifer, Brandon, and their kiddos Charlotte and Nicholas) back in 2017, when they had just grown from a family of three to a family of four. It was hard not to fall in love with them back then.  But this time? […]

When the story of the O’Bryhim family began, I had already known both Chad and Darcey for years thanks to our days at Baker University. Chad and I worked closely together through our school newspaper, where I swear he’d tell you I only made a handful of journalism students cry (oops!). I’ve long know, too, […]

I met Cassidy and Lucas last year at Luc’s sister’s wedding (hi, Beca and Layne!) and I remember thinking, “WOWZA. This couple is smokin’ hot.” But also, I thought they were so incredibly cute together.

Newlyweds in Kansas

Awhile back, I posted these photos I was obsessed over of a newly engaged couple who brought their cats (yes, you read that right—cats!) to their engagement session.

The past few months have been exceptionally hard on me as a dog mom. I shared news awhile back that my sweet Pug, Bianca, was dealing with an illness similar to Lou Gehrig’s Disease where her body sort of just quit working for her. It became fairly obvious that it was Bianca’s time to go […]

One of the things I love about wedding days is how much I get to learn about a couple, and Alyssa and Trevor’s gorgeous Kansas City wedding definitely kept me on my toes. It was obvious from the moment I met them they have a sweet, loving relationship. And there’s good reason for that—they have […]

One of the hardest things I’ve had to deal with since the breakout of COVID-19 is what to tell my soon-to-be married couples. How do you begin adjusting a wedding for COVID-19, anyway? With so much uncertainty in our world, I haven’t known what to say. First, I went directly to them, which was the […]

Meet Katie and Jason. Their love story began five years ago when being in the same business fraternity together in college. Katie says she instantly thought he was so cute. Now, even after saying, “I Do,” she still thinks he’s cute and you could say the feeling is mutual. They are absolutely in love and […]
