Kansas City Engagement Pictures Kansas City Kelsie and Andy sunset country engagement session

I mean can you not FEEL the authentic joy just radiating from Kelsie and Andy’s Kansas City engagement pictures?! I always love going back home to the midwest, it’s always a refreshing change from our Tucson desert and this golden summer light did not disappoint. Put me in an endless field of tall grasses and huge […]

When Leston proposed to Amy, he sent her on a scavenger hunt all over Kansas City to find clues their cats had hidden (that had kidnapped him for various reasons) in order to save him. Each clue was in a place that had personal significance to them and ranged from mediums such as paper and […]

Nick and Alysha are both from Kansas City but met about seven years ago while attending Western Kentucky University. For their first date, Nick didn’t realize it was a date and had not made any reservations or plans. Alysha showed up “dressed to kill” in heels, blouse, nice jeans and it was THEN that Nick […]

What a beautiful day we were blessed with in the month of JANUARY to be able to capture Nick and Alysha’s engagement photos. We went to the River Market in Kansas City for some urban scenery then headed to the new Kauffman Center where some pretty sunlight peeked through the clouds at the very end. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I LOVE pink! So therefore, I loved shooting Pat and Leah’s wedding, which was full of beautiful pink flowers and backgrounds. And Leah was absolutely gorgeous, she looked so perfect! My favorite part to photograph was when they exited the church with TONS of bubbles right in their faces lol. I assisted my good friend […]

I knew when I first wanted to begin shooting seniors that Kylen was going to be the one I started with. This beautiful young lady goes to my church, Living Hope, in Olathe, Kansas. Kylen is very involved with her church, community and school. She is the president of the National Honor Society, president of […]
