Caroline | Style Session | Manhattan, KS | b & Chris

Sweet Caroline. Seriously. B and I love shooting together and so when we met Caroline for her Style Session, we were super excited because we knew she would absolutely rock her shoot! With such natural gorgeousness and grace, Caroline is incredibly natural in front of the camera. Plus, her infectious and beautiful smile made us just happy. Seriously. Caroline, you are a very impressive young lady and b and I wish you nothing but the very best in your future.

Thank you so much for selecting La Brisa for your senior portraits! We honestly hope that you absolutely LOVE your images! Please let us know if there is anything that we can do for you! =)

You can view all of the images from her session by going to www.labrisaphotography.com and clicking on “Clients” and “Style Sessions” or if you are viewing this from your phone, click HERE! Also, you can view a few more images on the La Brisa FB page in Caroline's album!

To quote from Caroline, “skies like this were meant to be danced on.” I agree.


I feel that this set of images truly personifies Caroline’s beauty, grace and love of laughter!

Happy Birthday to my Wife! =)

Today is a very very special day. Today is my wife’s birthday. My wife is amazing. She truly is. She has been incredibly supportive and encouraging of my photography journey. She literally puts the Brisa in La Brisa (I think I should get huge husband points for naming my business after my wife, right?). Two weeks ago, while I was shooting for a week in southern California, she came out and surprised me midway through the week! I was completely surprised and had no idea how she could have pulled it off! We had an awesome time with our friends Natalie and Chris, her family and my sister’s family in San Diego! Again, she is incredible, absolutely amazing and is the most considerate and thoughtful person I have ever met. Honestly, I love her more and more each day and I absolutely love the life that have made together. Happy Birthday Love! You are the best! =)

I love us!

Sarah & Curtis | Wedding | Sharon Springs, KS | Chris

Sarah was the first person that I met with to chat about photography and help her in any way that I could. Our friendship quickly grew to where she worked as an assistant for La Brisa to her helping me out with La Brisa Aspiring Photographer Workshops to her developing and creating her own photography business, Sarah Jeanne Photography. Well, fast forward a few years after that to Sarah’s own wedding and I feel that our friendship has come full circle. I traveled out to Sharon Springs, KS for Sarah and Curtis’ incredible day. Throughout the years that I have known Sarah, she always talked up Sharon Springs and how she knew she would get married there. Well, she was absolutely right and we had an absolutely incredible day. The best part was because Sarah is a photographer, she gave me plenty of time for portraits which was awesome!

Thank you again for selecting me to photograph your fantastic wedding. Your family and friends were super fun and I had such a wonderful time with all of you!

You can view all of the images from their wedding day by going to www.labrisaphotography.com and clicking on “Clients” and “Weddings” or if you are viewing this from your phone, click HERE.

Special thanks to Sharon for making the trip and assisting/shooting with me! You are awesome! =)
