An Engagement Session at the Governor's Mansion - Topeka, Kansas Portrait Photographer

Carie and Josh hired me photograph their big day in 2016. It will be a simple wedding, full of close family and friends, followed by BREAKFAST at their favorite diner in Topeka, Banjos. I love this idea and can not wait until the big day. Until then, I got to photograph their engagement session at one of the places they enjoy going on walks. The Governor's mansion (Cedar Crest) and Menninger's properties! 

It was a decent December evening, thankfully not too cold. I like asking lots of questions about my couples so I can have an idea of their personalities and their lifestyles. I feel that it better prepares me for their big day. 

We walked and walked and then walked some more! This place is amazing and I wanted to see it all!! 

Camden is 1 - Topeka, Kansas Portrait Photographer

I hate to say it but we celebrated our last first birthday in the Garza house. Our baby boy is 1! On December 27th, 2014 Camden came in to this world, au naturale, within an hour of us arriving at the parking garage at Stormont Vail. He was only a few hours late to become my birthday buddy. 

He was NOT a fan of smashing cakes. I joked with my husband and said that we need to do a spaghetti smash instead, this boy can eat!

Yep, that's as close to it as he would get!

He has quite the personality and I can not wait to see him grow.. as long as he doesn't do it too quickly.
