Scot is one of my husband’s brother and a pivotal person in Cody and my relationship. Scot was an admissions counselor at MidAmerica Nazarene University and I volunteered to help him collect donations at chapel one day. On our way to College Church we passed by this really nice, white Cadillac in the parking lot. […]

April and JP, your wedding was INCREDIBLE. Started off a little rainy.. but hey, that’s good luck, remember! Everything turned out so beautiful and I love the connection between you two! The Patrick Lentz Band really set the mood for a great reception and definitely got everyone partying on the dance floor, they played every […]

What a beautiful day it turned out to be for Catelyn and Kevin’s engagement session, the weather was absolutely perfect! I have known Kevin since we were little tikes back in elementary school and we all went to Blue Valley North High School together, Catelyn was a year ahead of us. We started out at […]

This engagement session goes down in the books as the most quiet photo shoot I’ve ever done (at least at the beginning of it), and for a good reason… we started out dodging the 100+ degree weather outside and opted for some indoor pictures at the Kansas City Public Library. It was actually pretty fun […]

This engagement session was definitely unique and I learned probably the most I ever have at a photo shoot. Tim is a huge Royals fan so they both got a Grand Slam Tour of the Royals’ Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, and got to bring me along to take their engagement photos! We got […]

Jayp and April’s engagement session was so much fun to photograph! We went for an urban feel and took their pictures at the West Bottoms in Kansas City, Missouri, including some by his sweet Dodge Challenger, and a few at the end of the night at KCP&L by the AMC since they love to watch […]

One of my dreams was to create a perfect setting in a stylized shoot for a wedding. I have recently partnered up with Allison and Jessica, two amazing and talented ladies who started Plans & Promises, a wedding planning and coordination service in Kansas City. My sister, Beth, and her husband, Nate, my fabulous models, […]

I have always dreamed of photographing a bride in her dress with a white horse! So I asked my beautiful friend and awesome photographer, Layne Haley, if I could shoot her and her white horse, Akicita. Layne got married earlier this year and her mom has this gorgeous open pasture in her backyard, so it […]

Earlier this month I went on vacation with my family to Long Beach, California and on our last night there, we went out to Huntington Beach in Bolsa Chica, California for a bonfire and to take pictures of my Tita Audrey, her husband, Gus, and daughter, Brianna. This was my first time shooting at a […]

This summer I visited my family in Long Beach, California and had the pleasure of photographing my aunts and their families. Ah I miss the perfect 70 degree weather in California… This is my beautiful Tita Abigael and her husband, Ralph, whom I got to do a quick mini maternity session with right before we […]

On our family vacation I had the honor of taking my little sister’s family pictures. Beth, her husband, Nate, and two children, Ryleigh and Cole, were a joy to photograph and I loved how playful and happy they all were. While we were in San Francisco, we went to the Palace of Fine Arts, just […]

This colorful wedding was on a one of the first hot days of the summer, but super fun to celebrate it on Cinco de Mayo! I loved the cute, multicolored bridesmaid shoes! We traveled all around Kansas City in a trolley for bridal party pictures, going from Union Station to the Liberty Memorial. The ceremony […]

To sum up this engagement session… it made my abs hurt… from laughing! I swear we were cracking up the entire time… and it was most likely due to the fact that I was continually stepping in horse manure, LOL! We shot this out at Elizabeth’s grandparent’s farm in Topeka, Kansas on a perfect summer […]

We shot Sarah’s senior portraits in the urban scenery of the West Bottoms in Kansas City and had a great time laughing and exploring the back roads to find great locations for her pictures. We ended up in a field by the River Market for the beautiful sunset pictures. Sarah’s makeup was done by my […]

Charlie is such a beautiful, happy baby and I’ve been wanting to photograph this blue-eyed little doll for a long time now. When my bible study group from church went out to Stagecoach Park in Olathe, Kansas, I knew I had to snag her away for a little “mini” session to commemorate her one-year birthday […]
