Well here is something a little bit different! We were approached by the Junior League of Wyandotte and Johnson County to create a fun and updated video for the 2015 Cotillion. We attended several of the practices at the Allegro Ballroom (they have a new event space BTW!) and then filmed the Ball itself and created this super fun highlight for the kids and their families.
For more than 75 years the Junior League of Wyandotte and Johnson Cos. has provided assistance to create change in the lives of women, children, and families. The JLWJC generates partnerships across the region to help raise money and distribute resources through its signature area of focus.
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!

Merry Christmas Hats and Happy 2016!
Well, it is not the holiday season without a Christmas Hat video! My tween and teen kids are becoming less interested in dancing around in public wearing Xmas hats, but we are still managing to maintain this ridiculous family tradition.
Here is hoping we get to see you in 2016 and that you all have the most wonderful holiday with your friends and family! We are excited for a fantastic 2016!

Lauren and Sam – Kansas City Wedding Videography – Highlight Wedding Video
It is amazing to me how beautifully a couples story can come together with the words that the people who love them the most. And it makes my heart happy when families have the insight to capture those words so we can make something beautiful that will last forever for a new family. This was an amazing day, and I LOVE when a sweet groom toasts to his new bride at the reception. There is really nothing more special than to honor her like that. Sam’s words were so sweet to Lauren as they started their new life together. Congratulations Lauren and Sam!
