As my life meanders along, I occasionally am struck by the significance of some relationships, the way they’ve somehow become a huge part of how you became the person you are. My friendship with Sammy is like that. As great as those early days of friendship were in college, I had no idea the way…Continue Reading “Samantha // Expecting”
Ben is the last of my siblings to graduate high school. That makes me feel seriously OLD. I’ve photographed senior photos for every single one of my six siblings (I just now realized that and as I write it out I can barely accept it). As my youngest brother, he is the last of the siblings but…Continue Reading “Ben // Senior”
I welcome any chance I am given to return home to my stomping grounds and immerse myself in that hometown feeling for a spell (folksy word haha). This time I was twice as eager to make the trip back because I was there to take Amber’s senior pictures. Our families have known each other a…Continue Reading “Amber // Senior Photography”
I just want to fist pump. That’s what I want to do when everything falls in place the way it did for Leah’s senior session. There was last-minute scheduling, trying to squeeze our session in before the cold and frost hit us (and the trees). This ended up giving us the perfect weather and light…Continue Reading “Leah // Senior Portrait Photography”

If you’re from around the KC area, you’ve probably began to notice this mural popping up in your Facebook feeds and friends’ photos lately. The moment I saw it in a photo by a fellow Kansas City photographer, I was like “Whah??? Where is it?!” Then, a week or so later, my sister, Bethany, came…Continue Reading “Bethany // Kansas City I’m So in Love”
When I was pregnant with Finn, there was another soon-to-be momma at our church who was due to have her first child (a little boy) about a month before me. We would often share knowing looks and frequent check-ins with one another on Sunday mornings. I like to think it was our way of showing solidarity,…Continue Reading “Eli // One Year Old”
Photographing my friends and family always trips me up because up until the day I think with the brain of a photographer… where will we take photos? What kind of light should I seek? How will the timing work? Then I am there and one of my closest friends is putting on a wedding dress…Continue Reading “Samantha + Josiah | Rustic Fall Wedding in Vintage Pink”
This past weekend I had the pleasure of visiting my friend Sammy in Oklahoma for her baby shower! She’s only a few weeks away from giving birth to a little baby boy!

Branda & Bill’s Charming Chapel Wedding The sun leaked through the stained glass windows of Pilgrim’s chapel in rays of magenta and bursts of golden light. We all stood, eager to witness the declaration of Branda and Bill’s love and commitment to each other. This they shared, with laughter, with soft words, and with charming moments…Continue Reading “Branda + Bill”
