Andrea + Brandon : Kansas City Engagement Photographer

Um, it's been 4 months (5?) since I updated my blog. Naughty naughty naughty. And a bit embarrassing. Thank goodness there's no Blog Protective Services that can come after me for this. Anyway, we'll jump back in with Andrea + Brandon's engagement pictures from a gorgeous December day. Andrea came COMPLETELY prepared with lots of props & pose ideas. And they were all perfect. We had fun wandering around in Bonner Springs & Basehor (Linwood?). And just in case you can't figure it out with their cute little props in a few of the pictures, Brandon is a firefighter & Andrea is a teacher. OH. Also, excuse the lack of exciting layout & the mixed up order of the photos. With the ones I wanted to blog there really wasn't an in-order way to arrange them, so they're mixed up & I'm having to deal with it (I'm a little picky. I like them in order from the session). Fun fact: their wedding is exactly one month from today!

This last one is my fave :)

Sonia + Alex : Kansas City Engagement Photographer

Sonia & I met in a computer class that all the cool nerds took before freshman year to get it out of the way - it opened up my schedule for a study hall, so let's not make fun. One of my favorite memories with her involves my first weekend after I transferred to K-State from Mizzou. Obviously that's not the only memory I have of her that I like, but that one comes to my mind now and makes me laugh. Alex is also a good friend from high school, and is the first person I trusted enough to take his word for it when he told me that the venison burgers he made at a cookout were delicious (and they were). So anyway, I almost peed my pants with excitement when I heard that Sonia and Alex had gotten engaged, and to say I'm excited for their wedding is an understatement. They rocked out their engagement pictures, don't you think?

Jessica + David : Kansas City Engagement Photographer

Meet Jessica & David. I think that they're a pretty gorgeous couple, but I might be biased. I've known Jessica since grade school. We're talking back in the day when we wore plaid jumpers & culottes (yeah, the to-the-knee baggy shorts type things). We looked really good in them, naturally. Jessica & I went to different high schools, and in college I realized she & one of my new best friends from my floor in the dorms were also very good friends. So now I'm going to be their wedding photographer and I'm kind of sort of really excited about it. We had a fun engagement session at the library downtown, followed by an abandoned (and possibly dangerous) building. Jessica even sat on a rusty nail while sitting where I told her for a series of the pictures, and I found out about it on facebook. Maybe I should add something into my contract about how I'm not liable for tetanus or other diseases or injuries that result from the photo shoots :)

Also, I'm testing out this new blog photo layout thing. I'm not sure how much I like it yet, so let me know what you think! I kind of like being able to show more pictures, so we'll see how it goes.
