Moms, you are incredible. You’ve allowed your bodies to grow tiny humans. You’ve sacrificed comfort, being able to breathe, swollen feet, expanding bellies and so much more to bring a baby in this world. And as far as I’m concerned, everything about your journey and your bodies should be celebrated. That includes breastfeeding moments. Too […]

When I met Haley last year and she started talking about her little Shih Tzu, Hannah, I knew she and I were kindred spirits. I’m pretty sure most of you have heard all about Ady, and probably my beloved pugs Eddie and Bianca. Many of you know my dogs are always my top priority and […]

When I met up with the McCaslin family for their maternity session earlier this summer, I had such a great time getting to know their family. Daryl and Ashley were just a few weeks away from completing their family of 5. They weren’t sure if they’d be welcoming home a boy or a girl, but […]

It’s been awhile since I’ve written more in depth about some of my sessions. But after I visited the Roberts family for their Kansas City newborn session, I knew I’d have to share the details of our day. Janea and JP invited me into their home after the birth of their beautiful baby girl, Eleanor. […]

I know, I hear it all of the time. Things like, “Our life is so chaotic. I don’t know to deal with kids in family photos.” I’ve had parents cancel at the last minute. I’ve had people panic over tired kids, over tears. Believe me when I say I’ve seen it all. Now, trust me […]

I sometimes have clients who are excited to share ahead of time what they’re wearing for their upcoming sessions, which I love. If you’re every wondering what to wear for a family session, I’m always happy to offer suggestions, because believe me, I have lots of opinions! But since I also have a lot of […]

Many of you remember and have asked how I’ve been coping since losing my pugs last summer. I’d be lying if I said I was fine. While Ady is a dream come true on so many levels, there isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think about Eddie and Bianca. You know how […]

I’ve been obsessed with Angie and Talon from the moment I met them (In fact, if you’ve been following me for awhile, I’m sure you’ve seen me talk about them many times before!). They are seriously the sweetest couple who are so in love with each other it fills me up every time I shoot […]

What a wild ride the last year has been. When I think back to where we were this time last year (sanitizing groceries and binge-watching Tiger King, amirite?), I’m not sure I would have expected to be where we are today. No, I’m not talking about being vaccinated and seeing the light at the end […]

I met Todd when we both worked for the University of Kansas. He so sweetly talked about his wife, Jess — about how she was so smart and talented, about how he is so lucky to be married to such an amazing woman, and then some. They seemed so perfect: him, a marketing professional who […]
