Proud Sister

I can't help but brag just a little bit on my brother Brandon, who is now an official part of the Lenexa Fire Department. Here are just a few photos from his badge ceremony...

Congrats brother!

Steyr: class of 2011

You have to admit that when it comes to photos females are usually the more photogenic ones. Perhaps it's their enthusiasm about taking the pictures or their natural awareness of posture that makes the difference. I'm not saying this is true of all, but on average in my experience girls are easier to photograph. Sometimes, however, you get a guy like Steyr who breaks that stereotype. I may be a little biased because he's my step-cousin, but it took very little effort to make this guy look good! Check out some of my favorite shots of this handsome senior...

Rebecca & Matt

Meet Rebecca and Matt! I laugh a little every time I say their names, because I have a sister-in-law named Rebecca and she is married to a Matt. After spending the day with these two, I must say I am rather fond of "Rebecca and Matt" couples! :) Here's a little peek at just a few of my favorites...

Love this fun little series- my favorite is the third shot!

We finished out the session up on the hill where Matt proposed... you can see for miles from up here!

And you know me... I of course had to meet Matt's hunting partners before I left!

The Ammel Wedding

This was my last wedding of 2010, and it was such a great way to end my season! The clouds had me praying that the rain would hold off so we could take advantage of the beautiful scenery in our photos, and it turned out to be a perfect day! I also couldn't have asked for a more pleasant bride and groom to work with. You really can't help but love these two together! Here's a look at Heather and Matt's day...

The guys were amused by this very small table :)

Handsome groom...

A great shot from Jessie, my second shooter for the day!

Beautiful bride...

And another shot from Jessie... absolutely gorgeous!

A beautiful reception in downtown Leavenworth at JW Crancers...

The first dance...

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Ammel!
