For those who don't know me, or know much about me, I have always had a love for photography and design. My friends nicknamed me "Paparazzi" because wherever I went, I always had a camera, and was always stopping to take a photo of something that caught my eye. I love photographing families, children, livestock shows, anything agriculture related, and demolition derbies occasionally too. After lon
g thought, I have decided to start out on this little journey on taking photographs. That seems like a terrible name for starting out, why not KB, KLynne, Silver Spur... the list goes on. Every name I could think of, was unique, but not so unique that it didn't already have a few FB pages, and if you know me, I like to stand out. So I got to thinking, what matters to me the very most. The list was pretty easy, Faith, Family, Friends, and agriculture, all are my passions. When I started dabbling in portrait photography was in 2012, I took my stepdaughters pictures at my grandfathers farm, WaukAWay. In the late 50s early 60s my grandfather, Doc, purchased a farm, way outside of Lawrence, this farm was not appealing to many buyers. At the time it was quite the drive from town, at the time, and everybody interested in buying it would just "walk a way." Except Doc, he knew the true beauty and worth of this land, and it was the epicenter for all Wempe Family Gatherings when I grew up. Hence how the name of the farm was born. So imagine myself, pondering names, what should it be, and then on a whim, I searched for the name, nothing. Of course not, there can only be one WaukAWay. And it was perfect, naming a hobby I love after one of my most favorite places where all my passions combine, just fit. Just like Doc took a chance on that property, I am taking a chance on me and my talents. I really don't know of a better choice. With that I give you, WaukAWay Photography. Please enjoy my page, and my work, and if you are needing photos taken for your special event or activity, I hope you give me a chance, and don't Wauk A Way.
