It is early March, yet I was lucky enough to get glimmer of sunlight and warmth here in Kansas City — perfect for some photo taking. Two people that I consider are my best friends; Scott and Allison recently got engaged. If you’ve seen my flickr photostream, you’ll notice I’ve really been diving into getting better at my photog skills. Now I’m FAR from being a professional, in fact I’m totally getting started in this whole thing. However, one thing that’s been reiterated by every person who’s been kind enough to give me advice: practice, practice, practice.

So that’s exactly what I’m doing.

I really enjoy capturing emotions of people in my photos. I find it both a challenge and a huge reward when I’m able to get that perfect shot: photography that not only looks great — but more importantly tells a story. So check out the entire slideshow of round 1 of the engagement photos I took of Scott and Allison (who, by the way, are gorgeous people to begin with!).
