The Tunbergs, Newborn

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 […]

The Gall Family

One of my mini sessions, and this one was so fun. Their playful poodle made his appearance, their kids were so joyful and attentive (seriously, never met kids who listened so well) and their overall stylish family just rocked this golden fall sunset. I absolutely admire Beth & Zach beyond words. These two are such […]

Jenn & Homer, 1st Family Photos

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 […]

The Bandy Family

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 […]

Dean Family

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.

Front yard photos..

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 […]

My growing Family | Newborn photos

Muehlfelder Family

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 […]

Allie & her very hip family..

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 […]
