Elle Caroline- 6 months

Somehow this sweet baby girl has already made it halfway around the sun! Our session may have started out a bit on the windy side by the lake, but we ended up with a perfectly sun-soaked late spring evening among the dandelions. Keep being the happiest, big blue-eyed girl that you are Elle, and happy 6 months! Can’t wait to see how much you grow before our next session!

Elena Marie

Oh my goodness!!! Look at those big, beautiful eyes and all that hair! I could have stayed and snuggled this sweet babe for hours. Although Miss Elena is not a fan of posing for pictures, she does love to be held, and she was able to put up with me for long enough to get some stunning shots. Elena, little do you know that you are a ray of sunshine for so many that are close to you. You are a bright light on a cloudy day. Keep shining baby girl. Can’t wait to snuggle you again soon.

Hunter’s Senior Photos

I believe your photo location can tell so much about you and your story, and I love getting to explore new places. Just a few weeks ago I was able to cruise around the small town of Lawson with my aunt and cousin taking his Senior Pictures and it was so much fun! The weather was a bit on the chilly side and it had rained the day before, but that made for some great clouds. Congratulations Hunter on your upcoming graduation! Can’t wait to see where you go from here!

Hidy Family

This was such a special session, full of so much love and happiness, but at the same time there’s also a great deal of sadness. A very dear friend of mine will soon be having a baby girl, and yet her family is also trying to embrace every moment they have left with their mother as she is battling terminal lung cancer. I am incredibly honored to have been able to capture these moments for them and will be continually praying for peace and comfort as their family continues on their journey. My next post for this sweet family will be so much brighter as we welcome baby girl next month.

Ollie Mac- 1 year

I ended 2022 with this sweet family and we had SO MUCH FUN! Oliver turned into a big boy 1 year old and we celebrated him by baking warm chocolate chip cookies, playing, and just being super silly. I always have the best time with these guys, and I can’t believe how fast these littles are growing up! Happy Birthday Oliver!

Ben’s Senior Photos

I love taking my Seniors to the West Bottoms in Kansas City! So many different grungy urban looks, and it always makes for a great session. The weather for Ben’s shoot was perfect! We brought along my nephew Sam, who is Ben’s best friend, and he ate snow cones and kept both Ben and I laughing the whole time. It was so much fun walking around downtown with the guys. Congratulations on your upcoming graduation Ben!

Elle Caroline

Just a few short weeks ago I went to go see Milo again, and this time he had someone to introduce me to. He is officially a big brother, and his baby sister Elle is simply the sweetest! She is such a calm and happy baby girl, and the way Milo looks at her is enough to make your heart melt. Absolutely adorable! Congratulations Caldwell family and welcome to the world Elle. I can’t wait to come see you again soon!

Barnes Family 2022

I have just recently met this sweet family who just so happen to be neighbors of mine. We went across the street to another neighbor’s house whose trees had the most beautiful warm colors, and I am just in love with this fall sun-soaked session! So excited to finish up these images and to start getting our girls together to play!

Conkling Family 2022

I got to spend this past weekend with some of my favorite people! We laughed, played in the leaves, found an overgrown teepee straight from a fairytale, and just soaked up everything fall. I am absolutely blessed to have met this family, and that our kiddos are such good friends also. This was so much fun, and I can’t wait until our next playdate!

Drew + Crystal = Married

Drew and Crystal’s Wedding Day was absolutely perfect! The bride was stunning, the groom charming, and the entire day was so elegant and full of joy. You could feel the love between them as we walked the city going to all the places that meant the most to them. We revisited a park they would take walks in, and even the bench where Drew proposed. Drew and Crystal were destined to be together, and I am honored that I was chosen to help tell their story by photographing the day. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Truskey! I wish you a life full of love and happiness!
