Collaboration is one of my favorite things to do – especially when I am all caught up on other work!

Here is a sneak peek to the behind the scenes of this shoot, I can hardly wait to see what the photos look like! Tiffany was hilarious and so fun to work with! Take a minute to check this out and keep an eye out for some beautiful images coming soon! OH, and anyone wanting to elope or do something different, make sure you call me first!

Haircuts for the Homeless – City Union Mission, Kansas City, Missouri

When I saw a post on Facebook from my super talented photographer friend Jenny Wheat about organizing a day of haircuts for a local homeless shelter I volunteered immediately to help tell this story with a little film. What an amazing turn out of volunteers (100), hairdressers and barbers, donations and thankful gentlemen we had on this wonderful Sunday in February. The Webster House donated a wonderful lunch for the men, Roasterie had hot coffee and Beauty Brands supplied product as well as individual donations made by volunteers of toiletries, sheets, towels, underwear and socks.

But I think the thing that impacted me the most was seeing the gratitude of the folks coming in for a little bit of care and great haircuts and beard trims. There was a joy to that room in City Union Mission that was easy to feel and so exciting to be a part of. I loved watching the stylists interacting with these men and bringing a little bit of comfort and care to them. I don’t think anyone who attended this event left without a smile on their face and a bit of joy in their hearts. In all, 165 lucky folks got to have their hair cut and a little bit of attention paid to them on this amazing day.

Thank you to all the volunteers and Jenny for making this happen!

Maggie and Ben – Kansas City Wedding Videography – Sneak Peek Video

I think having a wedding at your own home is the most perfect thing in the world. No matter what really. But when you have a little grove of beautiful trees, and dogs and horses and feathers? Perfection has been perfected. Maggie and Ben had the most magical of days with so many dear family and friends by their sides. What an amazing way to start a new family.

A Dots Marriage Proposal

I was so excited when I got the email from Dots asking if I would help them with Shawn’s proposal to Cassie. He had written them several weeks before asking for help in proposing to his girlfriend using her favorite IOS game, Dots. To his surprise they actually wrote back and were excited about helping him! We met the week before to do an interview and make a plan for the proposal so we would be hidden while shooting but still have a great shot and great audio. We managed to surprise Cassie and make a lovely little video for them to share with their family and friends! Congratulations Shawn and Cassie – hope you play Dots for years and years and years!
