Techit


Hi everyone! I want you to meet the newest family member at KHP... his name is Techit :). I call him Tec for short. He is 7 years old and lives in Thailand. Isn't he the cutest?

The reason I'm taking a break today from posting pretty wedding stuff is that this child right here, moved my heart. I don't even know him. I've never met him, but this picture grabbed my attention. I've been on the website, www.allwally.com all week long searching for the right child to sponsor. Someone who's life I can be a part of and change for the better. 

I've never done anything like this before, but for a reason in which I don't know why just yet, I was moved to take action. As I sit here in my little comfort zone, taking pretty photos, and living the good life (as it is said) there are people who are just the opposite. People like Techit. 

Techit enjoys art (no wonder I chose him ;)), playing with cars and walking. He is in kindergarten, but his performance isn't the best. We'll change that. He has asthma, and he already has the responsibility of running errands and working for his family. 

I'll post frequent updates on how he is doing, and I really hope I get to meet him some day soon. 

If this moves you in such a way as it did me, go here to sponsor an at-risk child. I don't think you'll ever regret it.

Erica and Kiel :: Wedding Photography

Talk about ending 2011 wedding season on a good note! 
Erica and Kiel's classic, modern and ultra stylish wedding was simply outstanding. These two know how to have fun, and their family and friends might just be some of the best people you'll meet. They laugh, they smile and they truly know how to love others. 
Erica and Kiel are both artistic, theatrical and musical, and I love that they chose the Washington Pavilion for their reception....probably one of my favorite places in Sioux Falls to photograph a reception :). Kiel is a graphic designer and designed all of their stationary including the "guest book" tree for guests to mark their finger print. Stacy with the Flower Mill did a stunning job with the floral decor, and they topped the night off with live band, Main Avenue Warehouse!
Erica and Kiel, thank you for being so warm and welcoming, and a big thanks for having KHP capture your wedding day! Congrats!

Professionals Include: 
Dress: Hannelore's, Alexandria, Virgina
Hair and Makeup: Southeastern Hair Design
Floral: Flower Mill
Cupcakes: Oh My Cupcakes!
Shoes: Kate Spade
Stationary: Kiel Mutschelknaus (Groom)

Lauren and Elliot :: Engagement Photography

Lauren and Elliot's story is one most only see in the movies. These two met in middle school, started dating, Elliot moved away, they still dated, and have been dating ever since... I believe 10 years! Seriously... what are the odds of marrying a middle school crush? 
But once I saw Lauren and Elliot together, I knew exactly why. They compliment each other better than most people I've seen.... Lauren is a fun, beautiful, social butterfly and Elliot is her quiet, laid back, and solid guy. 
Lauren and Elliot, I couldn't be happier for the two of you, and I'm looking forward to your beautiful wedding day!

Cheers to 2012

A new year is a reason to celebrate. To new goals, fresh starts and fun inspiration. My friend and creative sidekick, Alyssa, has some new things of her own coming this year, and I cannot wait to share the news. In the meantime, here's to 2012...bringing new creativity, new outlooks and an all-around beautiful adventure.
