I have known Kim since we were itty bitty and our moms were friends and we always got to play together at the Filipino parties and was honored when she asked me to be their wedding photographer. We had so much fun taking these pictures down by the colorful walls of the West Bottoms in […]
This week I had the honor to photograph my little sister, Katherine, and her fiance’s, Andrew, engagement photos. Last fall I shot a couple’s session with them down in the urban setting of the West Bottoms in Kansas City during my promo video last fall so we changed up the scenery for their engagement pics […]
Emily and Theo’s wedding was so beautiful, from the gorgeous pink roses to the unique bridesmaid dresses and all at one of my favorite venues, The Carriage Club, in Mission Hills, Kansas. The forecast predicted rain all day, but luckily it turned out to be a beautiful day with a nice cloudy overcast. Emily works […]
I love being involved in my local community and specifically with the Filipino community in Kansas City. My mother is from the Philippines and has always instilled in us never to forget “where we came from.” So even though my sisters and I were born here in the United States, we hold true to a […]
This little cutie is back on my blog! My family came over for a grill-out on this perfect Spring day so we took the opportunity to do a quick mini session with my nephew, Cole Ryan, to celebrate his 6 month birthday. I love his beautiful blue eyes and how the clouds above made them […]
When I first showed up at Harrah’s Casino & Hotel where the girls were getting ready, Keighsy told me “I know how to pose, I watch Kim Kardashian!,” oh and this girl knows what she’s doing for sure and plus she’s gorgeous… must be those Filipino genes 🙂 Some of my favorite pictures from this […]

The day couldn’t have been more perfect, the weather was gorgeous, and Michael, a U.S. Marine, looked very sharp and Sarah was absolutely stunning. Their flowers were made up of orange calla lilies (my favorite!) and burgundy red roses, which looked great mixed in with the whites and blues of their outfits. They got married […]
Here is her big debut as a first-time model. I bet you can’t guess how old she is. That’s exactly what I thought when I first met her…. I was modeling in a fashion show with styling by Tamara from Encore Boutique with hair and makeup by Pinkie Couture located at Runways Boutique in Leawood, […]
This week I got to photograph the most adorable, blue-eyed baby for his 3 month old portraits. This little cutie, Keegan, belongs to our good friends Leslie and Ryan. I met Leslie at the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) Conference in San Antonio, Texas last January and got to know her even better while photographing […]
The first time Lori told me about Jose I could tell she was head over heels for him. When I finally got to met Jose at our photo session and see them together, their chemistry and playfulness was everything I expected. Congratulations to the both of you for finding such a perfect person to spend […]
Seriously I can’t believe how nice these October weddings have been, just absolutely perfect weather! Kristen and Michael got married at the Hawthorne House Chapel in Parkville, Missouri. To me, this is the perfect venue for a wedding. It has a large chapel with lots of windows and you can get married inside the chapel […]
This is my beautiful mom and step-father. We had so much fun taking a quick trip to Ernie Miller Nature Park in Olathe to get some fun shots of them together with this beautiful sunset, they both look like models! Look how much they love to be with each other. Love you both!!
This is my beautiful sister, Beth, and we almost didn’t get a chance to take these! It was only one week after her session that she gave birth to my nephew, Cole Ryan, who’s birth session will be featured soon!! It was the first time I’ve ever seen a baby born and oh wow.. that […]
Simply one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been apart of. Codi and Zach were such a sweet couple and they have little mustache tattoos on their fingers! I assisted my friend Jana with Jana Marie Photography for their wedding at the Bingham-Waggoner Estate in Independence, Missouri. The weather was beautiful and golden-yellow […]
