St. Patty's day - {Lawrence, KS photographer}

A parade, Lawrence style. If you know Lawrence you know it will be fun and well ummm, unique. One of the very reasons I love this town. Having gone to college here that of course is another big reason I love Lawrence. The university puts so much energy into this town. I did leave the state of Kansas after graduation and got to experience other parts of the country, to which I am thankful. I always knew that if I came back home to Kansas, Lawrence is where I would want to land. A small town, yet it has so much diversity and spunk. A great place to raise a family.

So, enjoy some photos from our St. Patricks Day parade. It didn't disappoint!

Harper and her buddy Maddy not missing a beat.

March madness in a basketball crazed town is an experience all of it's own!

We love our Hawks and this time of year.

The "real" Jayhawk was in the parade too but was not at a good angle for me.

The Sandbar, yep it is a bar.

If their objective was to make me want to leave this parade and go have a beer with them, they were successful. Unfortunately it was in the middle of the afternoon and I had my kids in tow.

Yes, those horses really were green!

And who doesn't love a cute little "leprechaun"!

Thank you Lawrence. I do love to call you home.

Lovin' love - {Lawrence, KS engagement photographer}

Neither of them were looking for a relationship, I love that. Sara was working, raising her daughter and keeping up with all her activities. The same for Jay. But Jay had some neighbors who saw something in both of them and insisted that they meet. Sara taught their daughter in Sunday school and they wouldn't give up that the two should meet. Sara and Jay finally caved and well, the rest is history. Two years of dating and now a wedding in the fall! The funny part, the wedding date happens to fall on the match-making neighbors anniversary. That too was unplanned.

This engagement isn't just the brining together of two people but five. A new family. So, of course they were all part of the session. It only make sense right?

I have many more family photos but I kept going back to this one.

They weren't "ready" or expecting it and that is the very reason I love it.

Rawr.

I have to say something about these three.

They were adorable.

While I was just shooting Jay and Sara, they were off teasing each other, hanging out and laughing. Sara's daughter hasn't had siblings and I have no doubt these two will fill that role for her!

Sara...she is all grown up!

Stunning!!

Thank you so much for asking me to capture this time in your lives. Your love and admiration for each other is so evident. I am so happy for you all!
