tatum treks through a tiny desert in joplin, mo

tatum is a childhood friend of mine. we met up earlier this week to take some creative portraits in a desert-esque rock quarry in joplin. it was great to catch up, snap some photos, and enjoy the windy evening. (also, i may have lost my phone for 20 minutes in the middle of this. she was a trooper and helped my sister and i find it, and still managed to look photogenic while doing it. she's the best.)

kcmo x thou mayest coffee roasters

Kansas City has to be one of my favorite places on the planet. If I had to do a definitive ranking of my favorite cities worldwide, KC would be a strong number 3 (second only to Edinburgh and NYC). Needless to say, I was ecstatic to get to do a little exploring of an up-and-coming Kansas City haunt recently.

My aunt has a knack for discovering little hole-in-the-wall boutiques and coffee shops, and she recently introduced me to Thou Mayest. It's ranked as one of the top 5 coffee shops in KC, and for good reason: it's absolutely perfect. The coffee is superb, the ambiance is eclectic and mountaineer-esque (I just coined that term. You're welcome.), and they somehow pulled off creating a relaxing atmosphere while blasting Nicki Minaj at the same time. It was impressive. Here are a few pictures from the evening. 


Thou Mayest, thanks for a fantastic evening. And KC, I love you.
