Lauren & Tommy celebrated their sincere and sweet engagement at the Nelson Atkins Museum with their fur baby. I can’t take it. I can tell when couples have something special together. They are best friends, and I could feel it. That spark and endearing relationship will keep them strong for so many years. I can’t […]

Tresa & Quinn’s family lifestyle session at their home in Kansas City, Missouri, Summer 2021. These two have such a special family. I love that they rescued their adorable pup too. I’m just not sure what I love more: them, their pup or their amazing home. A great combination if you ask me. I love […]

These two are something else. Just look at how much fun they are. Celebrating on the rainiest day we’ve had for awhile here in Kansas City. But Antioch Park’s stunning fall colors made up for it. We waited the rain out and toughed out the sprinkles. You wouldn’t even know would you? Congratulations to two […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Codi & Zach’s last session with little Ira, they thought they’d frame a ton of black and white images, but realized the color photos were just so awesome. And for some reason, this session was just so dreamy in black and white. I’m a pretty big sucker for black and white images because I believe […]

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, […]

Spring is here and colors are everywhere, the dogs love being outdoors and the beautiful midwest sunsets are back. Amanda & Gene claimed they weren’t photogenic nor good at PDA. I beg to differ. What a fun colorful Beloved engagement session at Prairie Fire this week. To the weather, please stay around. You are amazing […]
