Once a month a bunch of photographers in the Kansas City area get together for PUG meetings, a great opportunity to meet and network with other photographers and learn from a featured speaker. This month we had the honor of having Jared Platt, a wedding photojournalist based out of Arizona, visit and teach us about […]

Okay so I have TWO other jobs on top of photography… I do graphic and web design full-time at a biomedical testing laboratory in Lenexa, Kansas. We specialize in laboratory testing for people with chronic conditions (such as autism, fibromyalgia, mental health, etc.). I mainly design brochures and materials for conferences that we sponsor or […]

I just got a MiniTT1 and a FlexTT5 PocketWizard set from B&H, one of the best wireless triggering systems for off-camera flash. The MiniTT1 (transmitter) is mounted right on the hot-shoe of my Canon 5D Mark II Camera and the FlexTT5 (receiver) is fixated right between a tripod (or you can use a light stand) […]

I woke up early this morning with the intent to visit the Farmer’s Market in Downtown Overland Park with my Gramma. Unbeknownst to us, we found out that it is only open on Saturdays until June (when it will then also be open on Wednesday mornings), so we decided to spend our morning at a […]

This weekend my dad and step mom, Cynda, took Cody and I to Branson, Missouri for a mini vacation. I’ve never felt like I’ve accomplished so much in only two days. We stayed at Still Waters Lakefront Resort off of Indian Point on Table Rock Lake. The first night we watched an outdoor play called […]

Daddy’s Girl. That’s me. Me and my daddy have always been really close. I’m the oldest of my sisters so I took on the role of mentoring (and sometimes torturing lol) my little sisters. They looked up to me like I looked up to my daddy. I remember going on vacations every year, especially to […]

About a year and a half ago, Cody and I adopted this sweet little ball of white fur from the Heart of America Humane Society. The story of how he got his name was: we were driving home right after picking him up from the adoption center and we were trying to come up with […]

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one day she asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow. But how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?” God replied, “Among the many angels, I chose one for you.” “But tell me, […]

The name of the photography workshop I attended earlier this Spring hosted by the fabulous Amanda Eaton with Amanda Eaton Photography. The name served very well for what we would be learning that day… how to illuminate our subjects. Amanda Eaton is a natural light photographer in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, who I was so glad […]

It was your first day of school. I remember mine. For some reason, I ALWAYS had a runny nose and watery eyes on the first day of school growing up. Always. Never the day before. Never the day after, just the first day of school. I remember specifically bringing two boxes of Kleenex the every […]
