Amanda & Zach are ENGAGED! And I think I might be a tad bit more excited than they are, for them to be getting married! They are two of my favorite people together. Oh Lord. Seriously affectionate, loving, fun, adorable, everything that makes your heart turn. This Beloved session for their engagement was taken at […]

Congrats to Krystal + Dakota as they enjoyed a very rare 80 degree evening in Kansas City in July. Their Beloved session was at one of our favorite parks, Loose Park in Kansas City right off the plaza.

Nathan and I were on our way to Kingston, Ontario for a friends wedding. We had decided to go to Niagara Falls since neither one of us has been there. We get to the falls and start walking around the main part, which is absolutely gorgeous but super crowded. Nathan suggests we go up to […]

One of my favorite things about my job, is growing closer to my couples and families I get to work with. Returning clients are the BEST. I see so much in people as they interact and it’s so neat that each session is completely different than the last. I really adore Janet & Bruce, I […]

April & Chad, both college athletes and now coaches in the suburb high schools of Kansas City, both very strong in multiple ways, he says to her “you look like an indian with that on.” Of course her wardrobe is what every girl wants her own to be, so she flaunts her head piece proudly […]

They always say that it’s best to love like children. With no worries, no concern about what people look like, just living life, loving what they’re doing and enjoying the moment they’re in. After Camille’s multiple attempts (after falling repeatedly) up the snowy hill, after the chilling cold of a snowball smeared into your face, […]

Britni and Bobby are the double B’s. The weiner dogs are, well, the weiner dogs. I really adore this family.

[…]
