Miller Wedding

Ted and Deepa's wedding was so special to photograph, it was sweet to see the love between the two of them that day. They were so happy it was finally their day.

Their wedding had several special touches to it that made their own. I loved how all the women in Deepa's family were wearing their traditional sari's. They added so much fun color to the day and the photos. Most of all the food was absolutely amazing!! Korma Sutra in Overland Park catered her wedding and they did a fabulous job. I have been addicted to Indian food ever since. Such great flavor and spice.

If you would like to see all of her photos go to Miller Wedding.

Below are a few of the wedding vendors of the day

Hair: Sheriee Rusk - Bella Gente in Blue Springs, MO (also my hair stylist)
Food: Korma Sutra (overland park)
Florist: Erin Volante Floral (The best florist in town! Shouldn't consider hiring anyone else)
Reception: The Rhapsody

E is for Elizabeth

If you have been following this blog for a while you may remember Allie and Trevor, I photographed their wedding in 2006 and they just welcomed their new arrival on December 20th, 2009. Elizabeth is such an adorable little baby, I just couldn't get enough of her cheeks! Congratulations Allie and Trevor!

I love photographing newborn babies, the best time to catch the newborn stage is in the first week so try and plan ahead. We know this is easier said than done since there really is no way to know when the little one will actually arrive, contact Portraits By Lucinda and let them know when your due date is and you can tentatively schedule it. This way you make sure you capture this adorable stage that stays for such a short amount of time.

If you would like to see the entire photoshoot go to Baby Elizabeth.

Wyatt is 2months!

All I can simply say is can it get any cute than this?

Ryan + Natalia - 10.17.2009

This wedding was so incredibly beautiful! Natalia did such a great job of adding lots of great details throughout the day. I love it when couples really make the wedding unique. You want your wedding to to reflect yourself and she did such a great job at this (see below in the pics).Natalia is one of the sweetest, fun people I have met. I absolutely loved working with her and her husband Ryan, when the day finally came it felt like I was more photographing a wedding for a good friend. Thanks Ryan and Natalia for having my photograph your special day!

Don't you just love these wreaths! I think it's such a cute idea to do the initials. Natalia is so crafty she made them herself! This is such a great cost saving idea. Wreaths are very pricey but if you get some fake flowers and do them yourself it ends up being really inexpensive and adorable.

I loved the chunky red jewelry she found for the bridesmaids. A great modern take on the traditional red and black wedding color scheme.

Natalia handmade all of these beautiful place cards. Another great way to personalize your wedding.

This little ring bearer was so adorable! He fell for the flower girl and made this note for her to ask her to dance with him!!

The Candy Bar - great way to pull in your wedding colors and create a fun place for you guests to load up on candy before the reception.

I love this ice sculpture, how often do you see that?

I highly recommend getting a photo booth, it's a great way to get a picture of all your guests and it's a take home gift they will actually take home!

Sebastian turns 1 year!!

You may recognize this little guy because I have been photographing him throughout the first year of his life. He is such a cutie and I can't believe he is already a year old. Happy Birthday Sebastian!

To see the whole shoot go here Sebastian 1yr.

Beautiful Sierra 2010

It's that time of year again for High School Senior shoots! I had such a blast with Sierra, she was full of personality and great ideas. I love it when my clients really get into the shoot. Sierra sure did, she loved it! I have to also point out what a beauty she is, I loved capturing this exciting time in her life for her. If you would like to see the rest of the shoot go to Sierra_2010.

Also Senior Special are running right now, 2 for the price of 1. If you and a friend both book a shoot you get to split the sitting fee of $150!! Book soon before it gets too cold.

Thanks for a great shoot Sierra!
