Trashin’ Tara’s Dress! (It’s 2:00am and I can’t think of a better title)

I’ve been waiting for a long time for tonight’s photo shoot. We finally got to do our second dress trashing, and this time it was with Tara & Ryan. We trekked on up to downtown Smithville, where we walked around town for a little while. Then we headed over to Smithville Lake for some rompin’ in the water. The water felt good since it was so freakin’ hot. We ended the night by stopping by an unfinished house in a new housing development where we found some interesting holes. Overall, it was a blast, and I want to thank Tara & Ryan for being so open to any of our crazy suggestions. I know Ryan had to be uncomfortable in his wet clothes, and Tara tired from lugging her wet dress! Once again, Drew & Selena came with us to capture it all on video. And once again, Jenny decided to keep something from the day’s shoot. Sorry Leslie, we will return your hairspray, and yes, Tara, we will return your sweet red shoes!

So, without further ado, here are some of our favorites!






I love how dirty their backs are!

Love the eyes!


Down in a Hole

Tara - OMG! Those are so great!!!! The ones in the hole are so funny! Also totally diggin’ the one of me laughing at Ryan in the lake! Had a blast and can’t wait to see the rest! Oh, and, I actually didn’t notice that we didn’t get home with my red heels! LOL

Fun at Smithville Lake

Last night we headed up to Smithville lake to take some pictures of these awesome kids. We’ve known these guys forever so it seems (maybe it’s really only been 7 years). Anyway, here are a few of my favorites from the shoot.

First up, the baby, Isabella… she’s not really a baby anymore though…


We met them when Gabbie was only a year old and soon she’s gonna be all grown up.

Celestino, such a little man…
Tonino, almost a teenager (scary!)
Mia… isn’t she gorgeous?
Aaron and his beautiful wife Katie

And a group shot!


We love you guys!

Celeste, Zandra, & Erin

After Juliana’s shoot on Sunday, we headed over to take pics of these three cuties. It’s a good thing I brought my A game, because Celeste was tough to crack. But once I figured out that jumping karate kicks with crazy faces made her laugh, we were good to go:)Here are a few pics…

Celeste smiling (finally!)

And baby sister Zandra
And cousin Erin

Juliana

We’ve known Juliana’s parents for a couple of years now (has it really been that long, Angela?). We did their engagement pics and then their wedding early last year, and now we have the pleasure of taking pictures of their beautiful daughter. I’m telling you, they are going to be in trouble when she gets older…

angela - They are adorable! We can’t wait to see the rest! We knew they would be great! I guess it has been a couple of years already! Time has gone by so fast and I know Juliana is going to grow up so quickly. We will have our hands full for sure…but so will you!

Andrea - These pictures are adorable! I love them, but then again…she’s my second cousin so I’m bias. :)

Kelly & David's Wedding

Kelly & David got married on Saturday and everything went off without a hitch! It was a beautiful ceremony and we got some fun pictures in the cornfield behind the church. The reception was at the Leawood Community Center… it’s such a nice event space and we were just out there a couple weeks ago for Jennie & Jay’s reception. There must be something in the air there, because there was a lot of crazy dancing this weekend too! Anyway, here are a few pics from the day…

A cool lensbaby ceremony shot

Bridal party fun

So in love!
Kissing in the corn
David gave Kelly a rose right before their first dance… so sweet.
