Playing at Royals Stadium: Family

It seems like it was just a few short years ago my nephew was just a lil' guy playing ball on the playground. Now he's almost 6'5" and is a Freshman starter on Concordia High School's baseball team. Cale's high school was given the opportunity to play baseball at Kauffman Stadium if they sold enough Royals ticket as a fundraiser. When the Booster Club stepped up and bought the remaining 300 tickets - it sealed the deal for the kids, and they could not have been any more excited! I mean, how many people can say they got to play baseball at a professional facility?! What an opportunity! Their opponent: Wellington Napoleon High School! WNHS team is all seniors and CHS are all Sophomores and Freshman! The guys played AMAZING and CHS pulled out the win! Needless to say, I'm a proud Aunt!!

Here's a few of my favorites from the day:

The real hero here is my sister-in-law, Kim. She was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer and just had her second round of chemo prior to coming to the game to watch her son!! What an amazing inspiration!!

Happy Anniversary: Joel & Lisa

Joel and Lisa started their Happily Ever After one year ago today. I had the honor and privilege of documenting their wedding day! One year ago today they shared love, tears, and lots and lots of laughter - they could not take their eyes off each other! 7 months ago I learned that Joel and Lisa were expecting parents and on April 8th their love culminated with their son Otto! Needless to say I was thrilled when they asked me to capture his first few days.

One year later, they still can not take their eyes off each other!

Happy Anniversary Joel and Lisa! Thank you so much for allowing me to document your son's newborn images.

Coming out of the dark!

The other day I came home and I had just had one of those days when you just need a good laugh to lighten the day. As I walked into my bedroom, getting ready to throw my coat on my bed (I mean hang it up!), I see my cat Truman laying on the bed with my lap top open. As I get closer to see what is going on, I hear a snicker come from the master bathroom. I looked down and see that Truman has Pet Smart's web page up and a credit card in paw - I died laughing! My amazing husband, Jason, got home before me and saw Truman laying down right in front of my laptop and couldn't resist. Thanks, I needed that babe!

Well, our crew has decided to jump in on this phenomenon called blogging! I'm not sure why but blogging has always been a terrifying thing to me. I'm sure it has nothing to do with my ability to use the wrong tenses or that I have never enjoyed writing! My high school teachers and college professors can attest to this! Well, if Truman can shop for the latest cat fashion online then surely I can blog! And what would a first blog post be without a giveaway?! Leave us a comment and we will randomly select a winner for a $50 gift certificate towards your next 2009 session!

Since everything goes better with a picture, here is Truman trying to buy the latest in cat couture!

We have also recently launched a new site - check it out! Check back soon -I'll be posting updates with all of our recent sessions and what is new with us!
