Megan and Chad’s wedding was at Longview mansion, just 5 minutes away from our studio and one of the most elegant venues in south Kansas City. The interiors are just gorgeous and the light has something magical about it. Maybe has to do with old glass and I’m not talking about my lenses.
I love how in this and the previous shot you can see how me and Jan have 2 distinct points of view of the same moment. I was focusing on the expectation that Megan felt and she had to check how everything was proceeding outside. Jan instead saw mom and dad reflected in the mirror looking at their daughter and snapped a priceless shot.
I was left with the girls for 5 minutes, for a change. Love this shot, the light and the tones that Jan created.
The pergola has to be my favorite spot! At sunset the light is just perfect, the reflection of the pond fills the shadows for a perfect classic shot like the one on the bottom right. With the help of a little flash it’s so easy to change the mood to a more fashion, magazine style image, like the one on the left. Either way, some cool stuff from Jan.

With Melissa we arranged one of our best selling packages: a 2 sessions studio and location. First we met at the studio for some portraits with artificial lighting.
Here she is again, this time on my fabulous corner area. I know I’m partial, but it’s becoming my favorite spot to shoot in the studio, so versatile.
Then I drove to her parents house where we had some fun by the pond.
She made me climb up the roof! Actually it was really low, I’m being a big baby.
Her bedroom. If you have teenagers in your house you know their rooms can be pretty interesting. In this case I was captured by the light coming from the window.
The golden hour! I have a set of great images we took right at sunset. This is just one of many. I kinda liked the flare I got and she looks great.

Shari and Damon got married here in Lees Summit. Sweet, romantic gathering of friends and family. We had a great time and took them for a walk in the park for some cool images.

Stephanie and Marc met at a wedding, she was one of the bride’s maids and he was a groom’s man… They are such a sweet couple, really fun to hang out with and on top of it both quite a looker.
Does it sound too good to be true? But it is, pictures don’t lie.
We took them to the River Market for their love session. I guess I like so much this area because reminds me a bit of my old country, where people walk to buy the paper, there are no SUV around and you can actually have a good coffee.
Well, that would be me trying not to loose gears from my bag while I’m running.

Joany has been our client since her oldest, Keira, was just a few weeks old. Now that Max is in the house she came back for some newborn photography of the new baby.
Two different approach and techniques on baby holding…
Keira is not a baby anymore and like any other kid her age is quite a handful.

Carly and Travis are 2 of a kind. Her family breeds show horses and has a large ranch in the Oak Grove and that’s where the wedding reception was. He rides a Willy’s funny car on the drag strip at some 250 MPH. With these specs you couldn’t expect less than a high octane, sleek, elegant wedding.
