Megan and Darrick I knew were my kind of people the moment I met them. The pretend shy couple, but with lots of zest and random bursts of dance moves in between those kisses and hilarious laughter. The sweetness is infectious. Couples like this are admiral and i’m really always so grateful to cross paths with them. […]

Yowza! Yes that happened. On the beach […]

Jessica & Jeff are so brave. Warriors. Definitely not quitters. They were visiting in Kansas City during the strange “it could be 70 today or it could be icing rain or it could be tornado” couple of weeks and it just happened to be the day they were flying back, their engagement session day, it […]

One of the best parts of my jobs is meeting new people and learning about them, how they met, what they do. I always have such interesting clients. Lots of engineers, lawyers, architects, I swear most of my clients are nurses or teachers. A lot of people with great hearts and a desire to help […]

November 8, 2016 // We all know they call Chicago the Windy City. However, this past Tuesday, it was as if a mini tornado was about to brew with rapid droppin temperatures from the time I landed at the airport, to the time their session had started. We attempted to start at the oh-so-beautiful view […]

What a sweet way to start your wedding weekend celebration. Kali & Adam flew into Kansas City separately due to work schedules, and hadn’t seen each other in a few days, so after reuniting for their engagement session at Loose Park’s Rose Garden, they got to start their wedding weekend just them two, together for […]

Places that are meaningful to you: maybe a place you met, where you like to spend your free time, where he proposed, or something sweet to your story. For […]

I’ve been waiting for the time I got to photograph Matt and his awesome beautiful Kim. It’s his turn now after videoing Philip and my wedding a couple years ago in the Rocky Mountains. Matt has been my go-to videographer in Kansas City and a super great friend for MANY years. We went to high […]

If anyone can pull off a Beloved engagement session in the Kansas City summer heat, topping at 100 degrees, it would be these two! Besides the heat (or maybe including the heat? wink), this session represented exactly the relationship they have. Fun, fashionable, and relaxed as they picnic-ed at their favorite picnic spot in Kansas City, […]
