Welcome Friends

Destination Kansas Anniversary Session – A Year Later

This is an exciting post for me to share! It’s exciting not only because it includes gorgeous pups, but because these two have become friends!! Donnie and Chelsea actually got married a year ago!

I flew to Kansas on Monday afternoon from Los Angeles, drove to my parents house in Topeka, and turned around and drove back to Kansas City all within 24 hours. The 3 hour flight with 2 kids and no window wasn’t my favorite, but it was all worth it as soon as I saw how amazing these two looked standing in front of the pergola where it all began!! I loved my time with Donnie and Chelsea. It was too short but it was incredibly productive! We captured beautiful images all over the golf course.

I have no doubt that God has beautiful plans for these two. They are both compassionate and kind. It’s exciting to think of all that they will do together as a team!! I hope you enjoy my favorite images below!

A Special Thanks to Rachel for helping make this session happen!
