JM Collingwood Barn Country Engagement Session | Trevor and Tia

Tia and Trevor’s engagement session came straight out of a country song. There was the cowboy, cowgirl, horses, Kansas prairie, and lots of love and laughter. They brought their horses along for their engagement session and the horses decided to add a few laughs of their own (which made for some great pictures). At one point Ms. Tequila, decided to snuggle up with Trevor and Tia when they were snuggling together.

Kansas Vineyard Engagement Session

They looked at each other, and she laughed. Her laugh was joyful and sweet, the kind of laugh that you laugh when you are with someone that you truly love and cherish. After the laughter escaped her she looked at him and said “Stop it!!” while letting out a hint of a laugh again. Watching the sunrise with the very first rays of sun falling on their faces and warming up their nose and ears. It was as if all the wildlife and trees were watching them and admiring their love for one another. She smiled down at the ground, it was as if they were the only two within miles.

Shelby & Logan | Country Engagement

When Shelby and Logan first “met” they didn’t meet in person, instead they met via a social media platform. It started with Logan adding Shelby on Snapchat and she was not for sure who he was. However, she added him back. They began talking back and forth. He eventually asked her to be his girlfriend.

Panya & Michaela | Headshots

Many times when people think of headshots they think of boring and unoriginal. This session was the complete opposite. We climbed stairs (that we weren’t supposed to), avoided the sprinklers with leaps and bounds, and almost got swept away by the wind. Panya and Michaela are auditioning for a musical performance and I am so so glad they chose me to capture their personalities during their session! If you don’t know these two then you are missing out. They are so musically talented and an absolute joy to be around.

Savana & Payton | PHS Class of 2019

Graduation sessions are bitter sweet. It is the end of one chapter, but the beginning of another. I love being able to look back and reflect on their accomplishments and cheer them on. When Savana asked me to do a graduation session, I could hardly believe that Savana, my little cousin would be graduating in a few short days. Where in the world did the school year go?

Charlie & Rachel | Country Engagement Session

They met at a gas station, but not formally. Charlie knew who Rachel was, but Rachel did not know Charlie. Charlie saw her from across the store and then did a double-take, just to make sure that it was her. He watched her from across the store for a short time, then he moved so that he could get the perfect angle and took a selfie with her in the background.

Katherine & Layton | High School Sweethearts

It all started in the Home Economics room their sophomore year, the teacher assigned them to seat near each other. Katherine had her eye on Layton for quite some time leading up to this, however she still wasn’t completely sure what his name was. Layton would slyly tease her, and Katherine fired right back at him. When it came to who would ask who out, it almost turned into a game. Katherine told Layton’s friends he needed to ask her out, but he told them no. She finally turned around in band class one day and said “Layton! Will you go out with me?”. Their individual personalities show through in their relationship, but so does their love and teamwork.
