For photographers, we all crave that perfect light around sunset, the “Golden Hour.” The way it gives everyone that perfect angelic halo glow, the softness in the shadows, the warmth as it hits our skin. I once had a session at sunset, but it was a gloomy day in Kansas City. The couple was about […]

THESE TREES! …. and all these incredible smiles and eyes. The purple and white trees are so short lived here in Kansas City and I seriously love them for photos! I’m so glad we had one on the Bingham Waggoner property for these spring portraits of the whole Pederson family. What a great group of […]

Joe & Miranda’s newborn family photos, in Smithville, Missouri, Summer of 2021. This baby has been prayed for, thought about, loved on and in the making for hundreds and hundreds of days. Every bit of her was worth the wait for this mama and papa. Bursting with joy, thankfulness and smitten for this beautiful Mackenzie, […]

My dear I’m quite obsessed with this little family. Bo has been a great friend, providing lots of the video content you see for my business, working on lots of weddings and projects together. I felt as if I knew already his wife Mika already due to social media and hearing all about them from […]

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 […]

Allie & Liam’s wedding seemed like just a few months ago and here many months have flown by and they already have a little guy turning ONE. We got to photograph him on his actual birthday last week 12.21.18 and i’m so excited to share one of my favorite couples and families of all time and THEIR […]

Welcome to the world baby Jacqueline. Honored would be an understatement to how I feel when professional friends in the creative world call me and want ME to document their life’s story. With weddings or elopements, their little babies and growing family, it means the world to me they trust me and love my work. Kathleen, you are […]

In this season of life, there are babies and little kids just about everywhere we turn. At just one year year on this Earth, these little ones are smart. I’m learning that they are way smarter than I ever realized. They already have their little personalities, have formed some of their own little opinions and […]

5.23.16 | Two weeks ago (born 5.9.16 just before midnight, almost two different birthdays) I got to document these two little snuggle bugs as they made their way into the world. This week, I got to visit mommy and daddy and all the girls again. The newborn twins changed so much just in these few […]

These little guys, their hilarious serious faces as they watch mom, dad, grandma and grandpa dance behind me. They weren’t fazed at all. And it was hilarious. These cuties are 6 months old already! Time flies when you watch a child grow that is most definitely for sure. And two! Here’s to one of the […]

Here are some of our favorites from our Easter Spring mini sessions last week on the Independence square. What adorable children, newborn babies and great families to work with. I hope you all had as much fun as these pictures show. We did a lot of working out with these kidos running around playing with […]

My sweet, sweet friends after many years of an amazing marriage together and lots of world traveling, decided it was ready to not only have a little family, but a BIG family. So with the 2-3 dogs they already had, they added not one little baby but TWO at the SAME TIME! Twins it is. […]

One of the sweetest teachers you can ever have, the most thoughtful, smart and organized friend to everyone, and such a fun person all around.. Julie is always the one organizing fun events and pulling in social activities with everyone. It was time to throw her the most killer baby shower for the new mom […]

Once again we are so very grateful beyond words to have been blessed with the clients that we have. Getting to know all of your hearts and your relationships together with your fiance, spouse, children, family… its been yet another heartfelt year. 2014 has been one of the best years of my life and I […]

These girls really might be the most precious little things. Model poses, they’ve got it. Outgoing humor, they’ve got it. Rambunctiousness, they’ve got it. Cuteness, they’ve got it. Smarts and wit, they’ve got it. I easily kept mistaking them for teenagers or young adults. They were quicker in their wit and responses to my trying […]
