As I’ve lived in Kansas my whole life I have never seen a tornado until this past May. It completely took my breath away. As my mind was wrapped in amazement and fear, it was such a strange moment, a humbling moment and something I will never forget. Below are the photos of the storm cell going over Abilene and below them is a video of the actual tornado that I saw.
I don’t know that we could ask for a more perfect day for a photo shoot. It was such a typical Kansas spring late afternoon, clouds started moving in, a bit windy. The colors were gorgeous and the family was so much fun. I enjoyed spending the afternoon with you all capturing your families sweet smiles and pure joy and laughter. Thank you for trusting me with your photos.
For those of you that don’t know I am a HUGE softball and baseball fan. Most kids have a passion about something, whether it’s Art, Band, Football, etc…. mine was softball and watching the Royals play with my grandfather growing up. So you can image how elated I was to be asked to do a baseball photo session, 2 of my passions squeezed into one moment! Blessed! Don’t these guys look fierce?! Good luck Outlaws and Bandits!
Kansas has experienced quite a few wild fires this spring which as caused a lot of damage to crops as well as some lost buildings, bridges, etc.
But in the eerie pink smoke filled skies I chose to see blooms, budding, new beginnings, regrowth… Finding beauty from ashes…. Praying for the many families effected by the fires.
After many, many, many, many, many (I could go on forever) hours of culling through numerous photos I have finally compiled a group of my favorite nature photos that are now available for purchase through my printing website. This is over 3 years of work and I will continue to add more photos as the months go on. So for anyone interest in purchasing my prints here is the link below!
