Oh man, here we go again! I looked back at my last pregnancy just now and realized I started documenting at 17 weeks. I thought I was behind, so that made me feel better about myself. Starting this process near the start of the 2nd trimester is most definitely due to the fact that I’ve…Continue Reading “Belly Day // Sixteen Weeks”
Family Time // Playing with Chalk
Categories Family, Mon Petit Remi, My Life, PregnancySeveral weeks ago I posted this video to Facebook, trying to be all tricky and mysterious. For the sake of documentation and consistency, I felt like it needed to be posted on my blog, too! So here you go. :) As this new adventure progresses I plan to document all the weekly updates the way…Continue Reading “Family Time // Playing with Chalk”
As my life meanders along, I occasionally am struck by the significance of some relationships, the way they’ve somehow become a huge part of how you became the person you are. My friendship with Sammy is like that. As great as those early days of friendship were in college, I had no idea the way…Continue Reading “Samantha // Expecting”
Ben is the last of my siblings to graduate high school. That makes me feel seriously OLD. I’ve photographed senior photos for every single one of my six siblings (I just now realized that and as I write it out I can barely accept it). As my youngest brother, he is the last of the siblings but…Continue Reading “Ben // Senior”
I welcome any chance I am given to return home to my stomping grounds and immerse myself in that hometown feeling for a spell (folksy word haha). This time I was twice as eager to make the trip back because I was there to take Amber’s senior pictures. Our families have known each other a…Continue Reading “Amber // Senior Photography”
I just want to fist pump. That’s what I want to do when everything falls in place the way it did for Leah’s senior session. There was last-minute scheduling, trying to squeeze our session in before the cold and frost hit us (and the trees). This ended up giving us the perfect weather and light…Continue Reading “Leah // Senior Portrait Photography”
I love the way photographs freeze moments so I can cherish them forever. Within the last few years, I’ve realized that video also holds a special power. It can preserve those memories in a different way, one that saves the experience of those moments so they’re rich and alive. I had already been capturing video along with photos during…Continue Reading “2016 // A Year of Growing, Loving, and Sparking Adventure”
I’ve known Amy and her husband Jeramy for a few years now and I was so excited for Amy when I found out she was expecting! Recently Amy ran into some possible complications with her pregnancy and there was concern that they would have to deliver their little boy early. Amy asked me if I…Continue Reading “Amy + Jeramy // Expecting”
If you’re from around the KC area, you’ve probably began to notice this mural popping up in your Facebook feeds and friends’ photos lately. The moment I saw it in a photo by a fellow Kansas City photographer, I was like “Whah??? Where is it?!” Then, a week or so later, my sister, Bethany, came…Continue Reading “Bethany // Kansas City I’m So in Love”
When I was pregnant with Finn, there was another soon-to-be momma at our church who was due to have her first child (a little boy) about a month before me. We would often share knowing looks and frequent check-ins with one another on Sunday mornings. I like to think it was our way of showing solidarity,…Continue Reading “Eli // One Year Old”
