The Spring issue is here, and oh my goodness, how fast have five years flown by? It wasn’t that long ago that I white-knuckled my first assignment with the magazine—and fast forward many assignments and stories told later, and we’re celebrating the fifth anniversary issue.

This issue’s departments feature the home of Tim Lindemuth, the former editor of the K-Stater magazine and now owner of an incredibly charming bed & breakfast. He is an incredible cook and historian! The home is delightfully filled with beautiful antiques and publishing ephemera.  And don’t miss the tasty feature on Wahoo Fire & Ice Grill in Aggieville–I couldn’t leave the session without indulging a little, myself.

Much of the issue is devoted to a then and now from five years ago, which was great fun to photograph a couple of families who had been featured during the first year, including the owners of Tallgrass Brewery and K-State’s First Family, the Schulz’s.

Here’s to another five years and many more incredible stories to share about the people and places who shape our community! (click to read the issue for yourself!)

I’m guest blogging over at A Good Run and talking about Dando Amor (and my birthday week!). Join us there this week and I hope you’re inspired to pay it forward.

This was a really fun issue to photograph for! The newest Winter 12 Manhattan Magazine issue has some great features, including a piece about four certified sommeliers in our community. That’s more than any other city in the state — I loved photographing each of them as they so enjoy sharing their knowledge about wine and creating a spirited, lively culture around the craft and its depth. (And I’m so honored to have photographed the cover shot for this issue as part of the feature!)

Among the pages you’ll also find a beautiful Wamego, Kansas home of the Donoho’s, who have lovingly cared for and restored a property rich with storied history from the early days of the settlement. And the next time you find yourself downtown Wamego, don’t miss the wonderful smells and tastes of Paramour Coffee; their knowledge and depth of coffee is at once delicious and delightful.

Enjoy the issue!

Jamie and Brian’s awesome wedding has been featured in not one, but TWO sweet wedding blogs lately!

See the the full posts at Savvy Deets Bridal and Time to Drink Champagne for more images and inspiration from their beautiful vintage nuptials.

Everyone’s thinking fall family portraits–and why not? The colors of fall this year are stunning and it’s the perfect time to photograph your family for upcoming holiday gift giving. If you’re interested in a session, I only have three openings available before the holiday ordering deadline. So be sure to hit the contact tab and get on the schedule before it’s too late!

Aren’t these little cuties totally adorbs?

The fall issue of Manhattan Magazine is online now! Check out the beautiful features about Kansas State University, KSU Gardens, and the people that make the university community so diverse and inspirational.

Getting to watch this sweetie grow (remember her 3-month portraits?) has been a delight.
