I had been looking forward to Ben and Mia’s wedding for what felt like years. The wild thing about this couple is that I’ve watched Mia turn into a beautiful young woman before my eyes. The very first session I did with her was her high shool senior photos. Then, Ben hired me to photograph […]

Katie and Trace were married on hot summer day, during a beautiful Kansas lake house wedding in Council Grove. But I have to say, looking back at these photos, the heat is the last thing I am thinking about. Instead, I’m just blown away with all of the details of their gorgeous day. If you […]

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 […]

I’m pretty sure Hillary and Seth’s wedding was on my vision board when I was younger. Their upscale Kansas City wedding could be an entire Pinterest board, you guys! And to explain their gorgeous day, I have to give you a bit of backstory. Seth and Hillary were blessed, not married Hillary and Seth were […]

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 […]

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 […]

When I first started out as a young photographer, I briefly spent time in the darkroom. There was something I loved about it… Dipping the film and paper, testing out different processes to get the perfect printed photos. It was an art that was empowering and beautiful, even though it took so much labor. But […]

I met Cassidy and Lucas last year at Luc’s sister’s wedding (hi, Beca and Layne!) and I remember thinking, “WOWZA. This couple is smokin’ hot.” But also, I thought they were so incredibly cute together. Turns out, they’ve basically been cute together their whole lives, because—brace yourself—they’ve already been together for eight years! Turns out, […]
