Peony Love

My mom is an incredible gardener. Even that is an understatement, really! When I was growing up, she always had vases with fresh flowers around the house from her garden. It was expected and lovely…but I never really understood how wonderfully gratifying it is to bring in flowers from the yard until now. It’s been so fun seeing what sorts of flowers and bushes we have here at our new house, and I loved being able to cut fresh peonies to enjoy in the house!! I wish I could have an abundance of these beauties year-round!

I anticipate the arrival of peonies every year! They are one of my absolute favorites flowers. I love all the layers and layers of petals and the brilliant colors.

It’s a lot of fun to see what kind of plants you’ve inherited from the previous homeowners. When we moved into our first home last year I really enjoyed the surprise of seeing what came up in the spring and summer.

Kansas City Wedding Photographer: Lisa & Tim are engaged!

Typically, lunch together with coworkers didn’t seem like the most exciting part of the day…until Lisa spotted a really cute guy who worked on her floor! Their initial conversation revolved around the very tasty pasta salad he brought to share, and they both secretly thought the other was quite dorky! Even before their first official date, Lisa just knew she was going to marry Tim. It only took a little time for them to both agree they were a perfect fit together!

Once I discovered that these two love to cook together and that they are having an Italian cookie bar at their winter wedding, I knew we needed to arrange a little cookie-baking fun into their engagement session! Lisa & Tim, you two are such fun, genuine people, and I could not be more thrilled to get to work with you! Your wedding is going to be unforgettable!:)

I love that when a man captures a lady’s heart, she can’t help but radiate pure joy when she’s with him! I love this one of you guys below!
Lisa, you have the most incredible hair EVER!!!
You guys look like you just walked out of a jcrew magazine:)
Congratulations again, Lisa & Tim! Enjoy every step of wedding planning; it’s a season of life that flies by SO quickly!

Friends and family: Leave them some lovin’ in the comments section below!:)
