We feel so lucky to have been invited to be a part of Kris' big day! We met Kris and her family over a year ago at church and were amazed to see how many members of the church at their wedding - Kris' family is such a valued part of the congregation. Enjoy your preview, Mr. and Mrs. Becker!

Leela and Russell were the first of many in what may easily be our busiest week ever. For this engagement session, it seemed fitting that we take their pictures in the place their engagement began: Loose Park, which is quickly becoming one of our favorite locations. After a dreary week, the weather cooperated (somewhat), and we were able to enjoy the temporary lack of rain and capture some shots of this awesome couple. I had a great time getting to know you guys - enjoy your sneak peak!







Sometimes we get really lucky, and the client brings a few of their own ideas to the session. This was a special request from Leela to recreate a special engagement picture of her grandma and grandpa.

We found a hidden gem in the Mandy and J.P.'s wedding venue. The Pavilion in Overland Park, KS, is hidden behind a humble entrance. What we found upon entering the doors was a great surprise: not only a beautiful ceremony location, but a staff that makes transitioning to a reception a breeze. We feel lucky to share such a beautiful day with an amazing couple. Hope you had a blast on your surprise honeymoon, Mandy! Congratulations, J.P. and Mandy...enjoy your sneak peak!

Maddox came to us as perhaps the brightest eyed little boy we'd ever met. We've photographed his mommy, daddy, and brother in the past, but they never brought a collection of hats like this with them. Heath's favorite was the cowboy hat, but we're saving that for mom and dad. So, first, with the hats we are showing today...

Of course the hats are not the story, the eyes are...and wow, what eyes! Also, a couple of his big brother (we wouldn't miss an opportunity to get new pictures of him)...

In our last post, we introduced Lucas, who was the newest member of Expressions KC. With this post, though, we would like to introduce an even newer addition: our new camera. Just in time for a busy month of weddings, seniors, engagements, newborns, and maternity sessions, this camera will help us take our photography to a whole new level. Here are a few of the first images captured with the new camera:

It's been a while since our last blog posting, but not without reason. Introducing the newest addition to Expressions KC (and the Cummings family) : Lucas. Even though I'm on maternity leave right now, we couldn't resist making a special post for this little guy.

We picked our favorite pictures from the hospital, but truth be told, we couldn't wait to get him into the studio! While it's certainly nice to have the time off for Lucas, he has done a fantastic job of satisfying our desires to keep taking pictures (get used to it, Luke).



And these are a few of our pictures from his first official shoot. We got Lucas into the studio for his announcement photo shoot yesterday afternoon. He's a natural!

We had a blast with Hillary on her senior shoot last week! Although this summer has been a mild one for the most part, we managed to find the hottest day of the month to venture out for her senior session. We hope you enjoy your sneak peak, Hillary - we can't wait to show you the rest!
