For photographers, we all crave that perfect light around sunset, the “Golden Hour.” The way it gives everyone that perfect angelic halo glow, the softness in the shadows, the warmth as it hits our skin. I once had a session at sunset, but it was a gloomy day in Kansas City. The couple was about […]

I need these kids to follow me to all my sessions to get others to laugh and giggle as much as them. This session was FULL of energy. Mom and dad fully contributing too. *smiles* I can’t get enough of all the long lasting spring around Kansas City. If you get an opportunity to do […]

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 […]

The Ergo Family at home

There’s been something so special about how covid has forced us to stay in, document in our yards, in our homes and stay intimate. Actually, I REALLY love coming to peoples homes and doing lifestyle sessions. They are so intimate, in your environment with all your favorite things. It’s so special. I hope we continue […]

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 […]

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 […]
