BeBe + Alice at Ric Rac Roundup's Summer Event

Hot fun in the Summertime!What a scorcher it was in Westport on Saturday - even more so for the lovely and talented Heather Baker of BeBe + Alice! And "Why?" you may ask. . . because Heather came from Estes Park, Colorado to participate in this year's event. It's a little cooler with the breeze coming off Lake Estes!

BeBe + Alice "offers handmade goodness mixing vintage, upcycled and recycled with a pinch of new" to create delightful, one-of-a-kind pieces.

Heather's offerings include fashions for women and wee ones, hair ornaments, stationary sets and journals, hop-scotch sets, and home decor. See more from Heather at http://www.bebeandalice.com/ or visit her Etsy site: www.etsy.com/shop/bebeandalice

Here are Brooke and Nancy helping Heather put the finishing touches on her booth before the crowd took over! Thanks for a fun morning, ladies!

Monday night, Lila joined the family.

Katy - 2010 Olathe North!

Here is Miss Katy from Olathe North - one of the best smiles I've seen in a long time! As you can see, she is headed to Oklahoma University. Her plan is to study meterology.

We had a busy morning downtown at the graffiti walls . . .

. . .and in more beautiful spaces at Kauffman Memorial Gardens.

She fit right in with all the beautiful spring flowers. Tulips are her favs, and there were pleanty in bloom that day!

and we'll finish with a little fun in the back fountain garden. . .

Thanks for a great morning, Katy - and good luck at Oklahoma!

Stacey and Mickey's Engagement

Stacey and Mickey met me at Antioch Park during the beautiful weekend we just experienced. After meeting with them a few times, I was a little concerned. . . .

. . .but Mickey surprised me by being a natural in front of the camera!

They are just a little over a month from their wedding.

James is looking forward to being the ring bearer.

They are so sweet together!

Congratulations Stacey and Mickey! See you soon!

Peter Rogers

This is Peter from Olathe North. What a great weekend for a shoot! And he chose one of my favorite parks for our location.

Peter is very involved at North. Choir, band, track, football. . . and on and on.

There aren't enough hours in the day for all of his interests and activities.

One of the highlights of his senior year was being on the Kansas State 6A Championship football team.

And another very cool thing was sharing that great season with his "little" brother Josh. They are both receivers, although Josh has been QB in the past. Josh is equally accomplished as his big brother, and being a sophomore, the fun has just begun for him. Nice job, guys. . .

. . . and some really nice bling! Congrats on the season, and congratulations on graduation, Peter! Best wishes, always!

Waiting for Baby

I don't think I have ever seen a more beautiful pregnant lady. This is Valerie. She and Charlie are waiting for their daughter to be born in about 10 weeks.

Here is just a little bit of what we did together yesterday.

Charlie was very patient and went along with whatever I wanted him to do.

He is just crazy about Valerie and his baby girl!

Can't wait to see her! Congratulation, you two!
