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 […]

Christina & Dave celebrated in one of their favorite places in St. Louis: the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Christina’s mother volunteers with a lot of the garden work at both the Missouri Botanical Gardens and also other grounds around St. Louis such as the Jewel Box where we photographed a wedding the next day. It was […]

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 […]

Well we couldn’t have asked for a better fall day. 55 degrees with a glowing sunshine seeping through the late changing yellow and orange leaves. Courtney and Cory needed no coaching. They were so adorable and sweet on each other their whole Beloved (engagement) session, and their little fur babies came along, dressed their best […]

Megan and Darrick I knew were my kind of people the moment I met them. The pretend shy couple, but with lots of zest and random bursts of dance moves in between those kisses and hilarious laughter. The sweetness is infectious. Couples like this are admiral and i’m really always so grateful to cross paths with them. […]

Uw some steamy steamy happening in this session with Melissa & Jason at Kansas City’s Loose Park. And it’s his birthday today, so he’s on cloud nine marrying the woman of his dreams and celebrating his engagement. Did I mention we literally spent an hour and a half laughing? Like two peas in a pod, […]

When choosing a location for your engagement or lifestyle session, or even portraits on your wedding day, think about places that are out of the ordinary. Places that are meaningful to you: maybe a place you met, where you like to spend your free time, where he proposed, or something sweet to your story. For […]

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, […]

Julep, located in Westport off the plaza of Kansas City… its one of Melanie & Bryan’s go-to spots to spend time together and with friends in their spare time. What a fun environment from the appropriate colors that somehow fit Melanie & Bryan’s clothing perfectly, to their reflective chandeliers hanging above the bar, to the […]
