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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The Grand Hall is one of our favorite places to photograph. With it’s beautiful architecture, it’s rooftop party room, the views of Kansas City and the killer staff. We were honored to photograph such a fun night for so many.

I don’t know if I’m on “coming-out-of-covid” Cloud 9 or if these two truly are as magically in love as they seem. I was so giddy in this session (seriously, a gushing Jana happened). Just to be around their presence, their loads of laughs and smiles. Oh my gosh he has “the look.” You know […]

You bet ya… my favorite couples are the ones who continue to keep me around. They love my work and have continued to follow me through their engagement, wedding, pregnancies, their families growing, all the things… It’s so much fun getting to know my couples and to watch their story unfold. I’m pausing time for […]

Lauren & Brennan wanted a session at the Nelson Atkins Museum with that beautiful crisp fall air Kansas City offers for such a short time. Our fall’s timing has been odd this year. Later and later we all waited for the gorgeous yellows, oranges, and reds to pop up around the landscape. It’s like it […]

Andrew is a pilot so he flew in for their engagement photos. We had to shoot this day. They are doing their love long distance. The forecast said no showers. I mean, he’s practically a meteorologist. Yet that rain decided it was coming whether we liked it or not. They could have been extremely frustrated […]

There are just certain things about couples that send butterflies to your stomach. Watching two people so sincerely into one another makes me so happy as someone documenting their love story. There’s nothing more beautiful than true love. Ciara & Grant were so sweet for each other. They laughed at each other, they laughed at […]

Brennan is so charming and Lauren is such a beaming light. I am so excited for these two I can hardly stand it. They both deserve each other, both so loving, kind, gentle, patient, sweet, gorgeous. I’m so glad after all of these years of knowing each other that they realized it was each other […]

Christina & Dave celebrated in one of their favorite places in St. Louis: the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Christina’s mother volunteers with a lot of the garden work at both the Missouri Botanical Gardens and also other grounds around St. Louis such as the Jewel Box where we photographed a wedding the next day. It was […]

I can’t say enough how excited I am for Nicole & Tyler’s wedding in Italy this year and to photograph it. They are two of the most charming people, and you can tell by the photos below. They are more about being present, laughing a lot, enjoying everyone’s company, rather than worrying about how “perfect” […]

What a fun season to be in. Both the season of their engagement AND fall season. For Morgan and Liam, we started at their favorite restaurant CaVa in Westport – Kansas City where Liam proposed to her. Then we headed to Loose Park Rose Garden with a “fall outfit.” Little did they know it’d be […]

Such a fun and relaxing session on a perfect sunset evening celebrating the engagement of Sarah & Stephen at Gritner’s Sunflower Farm in Lawrence, Kansas. This was my first session at the farm, I’m not sure how. This place is magical. Sunflowers rolling over the hills for days. What a gorgeous site! And I love that […]
