Lifestyle sessions are my favorite. Especially when they involve everyone making breakfast together, jumping on the trampoline and playing in their secret play rooms. I always adore photographing this family in their environment. These girls will rule the castle one day. A real castle somewhere. Believe it. Enjoy family time at home with this little […]

My incredible and talented friend Laura. My Jr High friend, my mentor, my photography idol, my pastors wife, my inspiration for all things human and art. I love Laura, Craig and their kiddos beyond words. These sessions are always because we photograph each other’s families and then we edit our own families sessions. So these […]

This sweet family, in their element: bubbles, mohawk helmet, giggles, root beer floats, playful and creative siblings topped off with loads of love. Just the kind of family I love to know. This front yard spring shoot in their front yard was perfectly fitting. Hugs to you friends.  

The saving grace for my family has been to get outdoors these quarantined days. We’ve done lots of walks around the neighborhood, we lay and listen to the birds, we’ve picnicked in the yard, drawn on the sidewalks, tossed the frisbee. Our favorite thing to do is stand in the sidewalks and talk to our […]

Sometimes I still can’t believe I have TWO kids in the house. It happened so fast yet I’ve been praying for this journey for a long time. The life of a foster parent/foster mom is quite interesting, fun and all sorts of things. I have two incredible boys currently in our home and are loving […]

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 […]

These stylish little girlies were the best smilers and so attentive their whole family session in Kansas City at the Loose Park’s Rose Garden last week. With their fur, matching golden bows, their baby blonde hair and curly sue hair, and super hip shoes they were totally portrait ready. I’m always so much more pleased […]

We documented Colette & Eric and their little bunch at Kessler Park in Kansas City as they passed through, but just right before we left for our work trip to Singapore and Thailand and I’ve been itching to share these adorable four for a couple weeks! The life and love in this family is just […]

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. […]

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 […]

I say it every year. The Independence square and surrounding neighborhoods are always lavishing in fall color. Some of the most gigantic and beautiful fall trees are in our local neighborhoods. Just walking the dog every evening feels so magical. So where did we do this families adorable fall family portraits? Right here in the […]

All smiles is growing more and more. Extending her grin even larger than before. I love her so much, this baby Sailor. Happy 9 month photos. 3 more to go, can you believe it? See all her 9 month of galleries here.

I’m always reminded how lucky I am, and very humbled that my clients return time and time again. This is my beautiful couple of whom I shot their wedding a couple years ago, Laura and Ryan. And this is their 1 week old baby Georgia. As sweet as she seems. I’m so excited to get […]

Little munchkin Sailor Aza is 8 months. I’m loving her little mini sessions each month. It reminds me how fast time flies (which I know every mother loves to hear). I swear I get done shooting a session and another one is being scheduled to shoot again. Watching her grow from the second she was […]

I have a lot of love in my heart for this family. Especially these kids. They are full of joy, and hope, and desire and are running after God’s heart like you couldn’t believe. All of them compassionate, steady and what a true American family looks like. Honoring all of them together this spring with […]
