Julep, located in Westport off the plaza of Kansas City… its one of Melanie & Bryan’s go-to spots to spend time together and with friends in their spare time. What a fun environment from the appropriate colors that somehow fit Melanie & Bryan’s clothing perfectly, to their reflective chandeliers hanging above the bar, to the […]

Congratulations to the young, fun, and silly together-Megan & Jordan. I loved how much they laughed together and I loved how much I saw in Jordan, his willingness to take care of her. These sessions remind me of how wonderful and unique each couple is. To see all of their images, visit their gallery.

Kristen & Chris with their little boy Tucker, celebrating their engagement in Kansas City’s finest park: Loose Park and the Rose Garden just off the plaza. What a beautiful fall we are having, once we got past the storms. I’m loving this light as it flows down Kristen’s gorgeous glowing hair. Congratulations to the whole […]

Best wedding invitations I have EVER seen! I might be biased but I helped design them. I wanted to do a “travel” theme, but with a twist. I didn’t want the traditional suit cases and map theme. I decided to go with a “rustic wood and modern metal mix” overall since our barn would be […]

This rain! … October is everyones favorite time to shoot their sessions, and here in Kansas City it has been flooding and raining what seems like non-stop. Well, once I drive 3.5 hours to the Big Cedar Lodge down in the Lake of the Ozarks for Ali & Dillon’s Beloved session, the rain can’t stop […]

Madi & Bret celebrated the beautiful fall weather with their baby Black Lab at William Jewel College. Living in Liberty, Missouri, the incredible lush landscaping and tall trees on campus made a great place for a session. I love Madi so much.. working with her a lot in the wedding industry, i’ve grown very fond […]

Some of my new favorite products added to our Wall Art Collection…. Metal Prints. These metal prints come with a board on the back so it looks as if it’s floating on the wall, similar to the Float Wraps. Or you can get it as just a print. They are vivid, beautiful, bold, and modern. I […]

Molly, Molly Molly. Gorgeous, confident, ready to graduate [smiles] This high school senior is as sweet as she seems. Very in love with staying active in the outdoors, embracing the beauty of the nature world. I LOVED this session a lot. We waited for the perfect weather and holding off for just a few more […]

Back to where he first proposed… celebrating Nick & Amanda’s first year of marriage with an Anniversary shoot from Philip and I. Nick is my husband, Philip’s brother if you can’t see the resemblance. And it seemed like just last week Amanda & Nick got married. We LOVE having Amanda a part of the family. […]

Carrie & Ryan… what a wedding! Married at Now Larimar Resort in Punta Cana at the Dominican Republic right before our very own wedding this summer. Hot hot hot summer weather, but a lovely relaxing wedding week filled with catamaran boat rides and dancing parties, lots of chocolate monkey milk shakes (or whatever they referred […]

I have this new obsession with wood. I’ve always respected the natural world, trees, wood products and furnishings in the home and you know I crave adventure and travel.  Ltely, i’ve really been obsessing. And the mixture of metal and wood is my new favorite. An artistic twist. It all started with my wedding planning. […]

Oh goodness…. how does twelve months move that fast? We started with baby Sailor way back on the day she was born. We got to document her birth story with mom, dad and family, her first week on Earth, and then every month for the last twelve months, we’ve been there watching her grow, squeezing […]

One of my favorite shoots we have EVER done with elegance and modern dreamy details at the Hilton President in Kansas City, Mo. Thank you all for helping […]

High School sweethearts, Amanda and Zach go way back. They are two of the most active, yet patient people I know. Zach, a college football coach, Amanda working at Hallmark. Both crazy talented, both heavily involved in sports their whole life. Amanda and I have a lot of volleyball connections and I went to high […]

Carilyn.. She loves Hydrangeas and anything blue. Jerrod.. He did not go to Jared. 🙂 (Inside joke we laughed about during the shoot. We even discussed how the jewelry’s spelled their name wrong. Jerrod is definitely the way to do it, but then I got it wrong during this blog post too. Oh quite the […]
