Last weekend, Adam and I had the joy of photographing one of my favorite families, the Guillens—Eddy, Ashley, and their two kids, Lena and Zavi. This family holds a very special place in my heart. Since 2015, when I stepped in last minute to capture Eddy and Ashley’s wedding, I’ve had the privilege of documenting their life together. From shooting Zavi’s birth to our annual family sessions, each year brings new memories to capture.

This year, we planned for a fall family session to capture the season’s gorgeous colors, but nature had its own plans. About a half-hour into the session, a light drizzle set in, and we realized we’d have to cut the session short. Just as I was lining up a shot of the whole family, we felt the rain come down in sheets, and it was time to run! Laughing and soaked, we made a mad dash back to the vehicles. It was one of those chaotic, unscripted moments that somehow captures the spirit of family life—unexpected, full of laughter, and a bit messy.

This past weekend, I (along with Adam) had the pleasure of capturing a fall family session with long-time clients and friends, Tanner and Holly Cook, along with their two beautiful daughters, Violet and Penelope. It’s hard to believe I’ve personally been photographing this family for a decade! From engagement photos to the births of their girls, and each family sessions here and there, it’s truly been a joy watching their family grow. These sessions have become a tradition (sans pandemic), each one telling a new chapter of their story.

This year’s session was particularly special. Fall colors were at their peak, painting the trees in vibrant shades of gold, red, and orange. However, the weather had a mind of its own—it was rainy, drizzly, and wet. While some might view these conditions as a challenge, Tanner, Holly and Adam and I saw them as a unique opportunity. The rain added an enchanting atmosphere to the fall landscape, giving everything a fresh, dewy glow and making the colors pop even more… and as you know Adam and I are always up for an adventure.

UP ON THE BLOG!

As a photographer, there’s nothing quite as fulfilling as seeing clients return for life’s milestone moments. When Elizabeth, one of my favorite senior session clients from way back, reached out about shooting her wedding, I was thrilled and it was wonderful to reconnect. Their engagement session had all the elements of a photographer’s dream: golden-hour light, the lively backdrop of Kansas City’s hotel district, and a couple deeply in love. Elizabeth and her fiancé Alex chose some incredible locations for their shoot—each reflecting different aspects of their journey together: the hotel district, Andy’s Frozen Custard, and the iconic Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
