Another one of my awesome White Iron Ridge couples. I love that I’m celebrating with so many couples getting married at the brand new venue in Smithville, Missouri. It is going to be a magical experience. Congratulations Kylie & Ethan. You are such naturals in front of the camera.

Whitney & Nick flew in this past week, we did their engagement photos on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City on Monday, and they got married on Saturday at the Hobbs Building. What a fun celebratory week for them. They soaked up all of Kansas City’s fall, had the colors of the trees, the […]

Sara a former volleyball player of mine and her little one Weston joined our Fall Mini Sessions at the Bingham Waggoner Estate in Independence, Mo. last week. This little cutie woke up from his nap on his drive over not a super happy camper. But he fell in love with our tangerine dream, our orange […]

Engaged, we celebrated shoot #2 at the Nelson Atkins Museum. I mean, you just have to get winter portraits AND beautiful fall portraits right? We had so much fun playing in the snow so it was time to put on their fancy outfits, heels and get dolled up for a date night. It’s been such […]

One of my mini sessions, and this one was so fun. Their playful poodle made his appearance, their kids were so joyful and attentive (seriously, never met kids who listened so well) and their overall stylish family just rocked this golden fall sunset. I absolutely admire Beth & Zach beyond words. These two are such […]

I can’t even begin to understand what it has been like for my couples who have planned weddings during this covid season, or more importantly who have HAD BABIES during this time. What a crazy experience I’m sure. For my awesome couples like Jennifer and Homer, they had their baby and then just a couple […]

I love when couples are up for anything. Sheer long dresses with heels in the woods at Burr Oak Woods in Blue Springs, Missouri? Yes please. Stephanie didn’t complain a bit and was hiking and climbing in that dress like it was nothing. They laid on the ground on blankets, danced in fields in their […]

It’s hard to believe these kids I saw running around as toddlers are all grown up and graduating high school. It’s been fun celebrating with all my friends kids and watching them become their own unique individuals. Congratulations Ayden. Enjoy college, some of the best years of your life are to come!

Lifestyle sessions are my favorite. Especially when they involve everyone making breakfast together, jumping on the trampoline and playing in their secret play rooms. I always adore photographing this family in their environment. These girls will rule the castle one day. A real castle somewhere. Believe it. Enjoy family time at home with this little […]

I’ve known this stud since he was a little guy. Little guy no more. Graduating high school from Truman in Independence in 2021, he has so many opportunities awaiting him. Bryce is a gentleman, respectable, kind, hard working, a great athlete, a Godly man. I am so proud to know him and his family and […]

One of my biggest love languages and super powers is serving others. Connecting with other brands and businesses and helping people connect their heart with their brand has been one of my greatest joys during this covid season. This is my beautiful friend Jamie and she is starting to elevate her wellness journey while helping […]

My incredible and talented friend Laura. My Jr High friend, my mentor, my photography idol, my pastors wife, my inspiration for all things human and art. I love Laura, Craig and their kiddos beyond words. These sessions are always because we photograph each other’s families and then we edit our own families sessions. So these […]

I can’t even begin to explain all this couple has been through… ALL our 2020 couples have gone through during this season of covid. So many dreams written down and re-written again, collaborating, brainstorming, navigating new normals, laughs, tears.. We’ve been counting down the days to see this beautiful bride with her prince charming. Her […]

I have thought about and prayed for my couples who have been planning their dream wedding in the midst of covid. They have had to navigate so much. So, so much. Constant changes, constant regulations, considering different options, many even changing venues, changing their guest lists, from back yard weddings back to bigger safe weddings, […]

Wanna know how Philip and I have saved roughly $1500 on average every year and instead put it towards TRAVEL? Everyone always wants to know how we can afford to travel. Well, we are smart and don’t spend where it’s not needed. In our household and business, we had already made the switch to no […]
