I knew when Sara contacted me saying she wanted fun, candid, lifestyle photography of her family this fall in Tucson, Arizona that we would be the perfect match! They moved to Tucson from the South about a year ago and really wanted to show off the beautiful scenery that Tucson has to offer, especially the […]

Natalie is one of the first people I knew in Tucson, our friendship dates back to when she moved up to Kansas City for a year or so. I was ecstatic when I found out we would be living in Tucson together after we moved here last year. Natalie and her husband, Travis, live on […]

This week in Kansas City we were hit pretty hard with some major snow storms, which made for some terrible traffic but also produced a beautiful winter wonderland. My little brother and sister were excited that they got several days off of school so we spent this afternoon taking some photos out in the chilly […]

This year my niece, Ryleigh, turned THREE and baby Cole, a.k.a. Bubby, turned ONE! So of course we had to celebrate with some updated family photos! The weather during winter in Kansas is known for never being consistent.. one day its warm and 70 and the next day its a blizzard. So we ended up […]

I had the honor of photographing my beautiful friend, Susan, and her growing family. Two months ago they welcomed baby Greg to the world and what a darling little boy he is!! Now I don’t typically shoot a lot of newborns, but I really wanted to explore a new type of photography to me called […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
