They did NOT want normal fall photos. So we got ice cream in our bell bottoms instead. YESS! “You can’t buy me love, but you can buy me ice cream” hit home as a special quote for them too. What a special day. I just adore Jess and her family. Seriously, check out these epic […]

Taylor family fall photos, at Bass Pro Waterfall Park in fall 2021. Don’t you love how “clients” become incredible friends? How the earth aligned and amazing conversations were had.. Cute “meet cutes” have become one of my favorite things to hold onto. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Chrissy and her family over this […]

Happy fall,  merry Christmas, happy holidays & all the good things. Whether naughty or nice, it’s been wonderful seeing the few of you for sessions I had this year. How cute are these two? Mama is so creative!

This family is something so special. Their journey to finding each other has been a roller coaster of emotions all around. I’m so seriously honored to have met them and get to photograph their precious, precious family. This mom and dad has so much love for their two twins and their family, it’s not even […]

Sara a former volleyball player of mine and her little one Weston joined our Fall Mini Sessions at the Bingham Waggoner Estate in Independence, Mo. last week. This little cutie woke up from his nap on his drive over not a super happy camper. But he fell in love with our tangerine dream, our orange […]

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 […]

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 […]

I’ve known this stud since he was a little guy. Little guy no more. Graduating high school from Truman in Independence in 2021, he has so many opportunities awaiting him. Bryce is a gentleman, respectable, kind, hard working, a great athlete, a Godly man. I am so proud to know him and his family and […]

  Magical. That seems to be the word that could sum up this whole weeks experience in the 1000 year old Ristonchi Castle in Pelago, Italy with Nicole & Tyler November, 9 2019. This wasn’t just a wedding “day” but a whole adventure. A cold and rainy fall up in the mountains of Italy left […]

You bet ya… my favorite couples are the ones who continue to keep me around. They love my work and have continued to follow me through their engagement, wedding, pregnancies, their families growing, all the things… It’s so much fun getting to know my couples and to watch their story unfold. I’m pausing time for […]

Lauren & Brennan wanted a session at the Nelson Atkins Museum with that beautiful crisp fall air Kansas City offers for such a short time. Our fall’s timing has been odd this year. Later and later we all waited for the gorgeous yellows, oranges, and reds to pop up around the landscape. It’s like it […]

Year after year, season after season, kiddo after kiddo the Rosson family keeps calling me back. Honored would be an understatement. I know you all are my friends, but it means the world to me when you all are my biggest cheerleaders and believe in my artistry and photography. I just love watching your family […]

This family just keeps growing, and growing and growing. Not only did they have two kids under the age of 6, but now TWINS! To say that this house was full of love, laughs and sounds of little feet on the floors, would be an understatement. It’s amazing friends such as Chris and KC, that […]

Rachel & Johnny, now getting to celebrate their engagement session. You see, I met Rachel and Johnny at Indie Wed in Kansas City, a really fabulous low key and intimate bridal show. Someone sent them over, “You have to go talk to Jana, she got married in Grand Lake, Colorado too!” The world aligned and […]

What a sweet way to start your wedding weekend celebration. Kali & Adam flew into Kansas City separately due to work schedules, and hadn’t seen each other in a few days, so after reuniting for their engagement session at Loose Park’s Rose Garden, they got to start their wedding weekend just them two, together for […]
