Website under construction!

Yay! We are finally getting somewhere with our new website! We decided to go with bright, vibrant colors that reflect what we look for in everything that we photograph. Life should be full of color. Life should be full of brightness and sunshine :) It's so exciting! I love it that this year my assistants have some GREAT stuff to add to the site. They are so great :) Check out www.saratafoyaphotography.com

New Website Coming Soon!

Just started on the beginning stages of our new website! It's going to be www.saratafoyaphotography.com . I know it's totally UNoriginal but I wanted something similar as to not confuse people with my lastname change and things like that. It will hopefully be up and almost completed by mid January. And you know I'll definitely blog ALL about it! The purpose of another site is for weddings. We LOVE weddings. They are so much fun! I love personally working with brides and planning their special day. In fact...mine is exactly 99 DAYS AWAY! YAY! We're down to two digits! This new site will have more galleries...which means more images and more information and more of EVERYTHING! So excited!

Mexico Here We Come!

Josh and I FINALLY put our deposit down...we're going to Mexico, baby! WOO HOO! It's going to be great! We're staying at a beautiful all-inclusive resort on the beach of the Playa Del Carmen in the Riviera Maya. I've been near here with my family once a LONG time ago when I was 16 but haven't been back since. It'll be so much fun just going as a couple. Our room is tight! We have a jacuzzi and a balcony and it's huge! So much fun...can't wait! We did a honeymoon registry to help pay for the fun things to do in Mexico outside of our resort. If you'd like to contribute, let me know! I'll send you the website to our travel agent. She's amazing.

Flower Power

So planning my wedding has been an interesting adventure. Let me tell ya, I thought I knew what I was getting into but was WAY wrong! There's soooo much planning that goes into these things! Especially if you want to pull one off without going broke in the process. I'm trying to decide right now if I want my bridesmaids to hold candles or bouquets as they walk down the aisle. I've seen both. Candles are pretty neat...and different. But if I do flowers then what kind do I get? And what's in season? And what kind of flower goes with which kind of flower? Ah! Too many choices...

Bridal Bliss

We are currently working on booking weddings for 2008. Here's what our latest ad looks like! So if you see it around...and you're a bride or know someone getting married...tell 'em to check out our website and give us a call!

FIRST SUPER SNOW BUNNY SENIOR OF THE YEAR!!!

Grace, one of my AWESOME assistants is finally a senior this year. She is not only a great photographer, photoshopper and friend, but great at being Grace. Her personality is so crazy, spunky and fun-loving. She's a great model cuz she's not afraid to be goofy and always ends up making me laugh. We were working in the office today and had this great idea that we'd take advantage of the snow! So off to the store to buy cute, colorful snow gear we went! Then down to a park. We had to warm up in the car a few times because my hands were going numb! But it was so worth it. We got some fun shots, and HEY! If you know any seniors or engaged couples who wanna come roll around in the snow with us, call us up on a day that it snows and we'll try to make it happen! (913.302.2007) It's a blast!

Family

Here's a couple of shots I took a few weeks ago when the weather was nice and the trees were BEAUTIFUL! These are two families I've known for a really long time and have watched their wonderful children grow up! Their kids are amazing and so much fun to hang out with. Thank you to these awesome families for everything :)

Fun With The Gown Gallery...

HerLife Magazine (herlifemagazine.com) and I had so much fun hanging out with The Gown Gallery Bridal Loft (gowngallery.com) this past Sunday. We photographed in this awesome space downtown KC and got some cute shots of our lovely girls! They will be featured in our Trend Setter section in the magazine next month. We are so excited to have them! Their dresses are breathtaking! Take a look!

The Hammonds

The pastor at my church who is doing our wedding ceremony decided to do a shoot with his beautiful wife and super sweet kids on our first snow day of the season! It was really cold, but Josh and I and the Hammonds braved it out in a park close by. The kids brought their brightly colored snow gear and I photographed them all decked out. It was awesome, red noses and all :) Take a look!
Thanks Hammonds!

Lil One...

This is a beautiful little baby girl I had the opportunity to photograph. Her parents know my bestfriend. She had a gorgeous skin color and was fun chasing around a park a few weeks ago. Enjoy!

Her Life Magazine...

Just a few months ago I started working with Lindsey the publisher of a fabulous new magazine for the Greater Kansas City called "Her Life". It's great! We just did a fashion shoot for the retail clothing store named "Hemline" located on the Country Club Plaza. We had so much fun with our two lovely models...Jessica and Carrie and Karin, the wonderful makeup artist. Check it out!

Going FULLTIME!

I am so excited to announce that I am going fulltime! So many of my photographer friends have been encouraging me to do it for such a long time and now I'm finally taking the risky leap! I'm so excited :) I've got so much planned! Weddings, Seniors & Fashion are going to be my main priority...although I'm totally open to whatever God brings my way. I've been pro for four years now but still had a job of some kind on the side. Now...as of today I am on my own. So excited to see what the future holds and can't wait to make a big splash in Kansas City portrait photography.

Kahlil & Katina

Here's a super cute couple I did engagement pics for a few weeks ago. We had fun playin at Loose Park and the Nelson. They are gettin hitched in Las Vegas next year! Yay! What a fun time!

Grace's Work...

My crazy assistant Grace is such a funny girl. I love working with her! She always makes me laugh by either the things she says or does.





We "team shot" this beautiful senior name Mallorie the other afternoon. It was gorgeous out side and Mallorie was FABULOUS!

Ashley & Tyson

My amazing assistants and I got the opportunity to work with a beautiful couple...Ashley & Tyson! They were not only cute together, but had the most fun wedding party I've worked with in a while! They put on a great party all night long! Hope you like the show...

Wedding Plannin...

Okay...so this whole wedding planning thing is MUCH more difficult and involved than I thought! Wow! I give all you married women out there a high-five for actually going through with a wedding. It's NUTS! I thought being in the wedding industry it would be a little easier...but isn't. Whether you've been involved with many weddings in your life or not, I think it's still a huge process. Thankfully I have a supersquad! My mom, my best girl friends, my future M.I.L. and future S.I.L. have been such help so far! Right now we're trying to nail down the venue...I'm going for an "Urban" yet "Elegant" look and feel. Not quite sold on the colors yet...any suggestions? Also...what do you think of these dresses I found online? Let me know!

NYC!

I just got back last night from shooting a wedding in NEW YORK with a photographer friend of mine! We had a blast! We left Wednesday evening and spent some timing shopping and being tourists for a bit, then it was on to the rehearsal dinner and lakeside wedding...then Saturday nigt they had their reception at the REALLY COOL art gallery place called Galapagos where they partied till morning...Phew! What a weekend! Slideshow on it's way...

Family...

The other day I was at my future inlaw's house. We decided to go to Liberty Park and take pictures of my future sis-in-law's family. Her boys are super cute! They are 2 and 4 years old. As you can see they like to wrestle. I love the song that I put to this slideshow. My bestfriend found it for me and it's perfect! It's a mother singing to her two young sons :) Watch and listen...

Engaged!

My amazing boyfriend proposed to me! Yay! We are getting married! He is such a sweetheart...we were walking around downtown around the plaza and Nelson area a few nights ago and then all of the sudden he grabbed my hands and got down on he knee. And he proposed! It was so cute! Then a few nights later we went to Skies on top of the Hyatt (the rotating restaurant) for dinner and wine. My ring is beautiful! I love it so much! Close ups coming soon :)

The Bottoms...

This is Kenton...He's a good looking, football player that I shot recently. What I nice guy! His parents jumped in for a few, too. We shot behind some cool brick backrounds and around sweet broken down junk! Check it...

This is Miss Allie! I've known this girl for a long time now...we were involved with a drama group together for a while several years ago and have kept intouch ever since. The last two years Allie has done several modeling shoots with me. She is SO talented! I'm encouraging her to pursue that along with her college degree. So her senior shoot had a little bit of a "fashion flare" to it :) Take a look...

Fun At The Nelson

This is Miss Allison...we did her senior pictures down at the Nelson and some at the Plaza. She's such a fun and spunky senior! You go, Miss Independent!

Portraits on the Plaza

At the beginning of June Kansas City Business Magazine came out with their June issue and guess what! I was in it! This AWESOME friend of mine that works there was able to get a story about my Myspace page (www.myspace.com/saratafoyaphotography)...how cool is that?! Also, a photo friend of mine named Kevin Keith (www.kevinkeithphotography.com) and I photograph weddings together here and there. He sent in some fabulous images to KC Weddings Magazine...a very popular magazine for KC brides. His pics made the June issue! You can view both our work in this month's issue. Also, he's such a great friend! He photographed me for my website...I'm in the process of updating the images and decided to start with new pics of me. :) It's funny because many of my friends call me the "most photographed photographer". So that's what these are...
