In the spirit of getting to know a bit about me, and not just my business, I wanted to share some things you might not know about me. And I’m going to get real … Which is kind of scary. Personal issues and fears are hard to address, especially online when facial features and body language are taken […]

It was May of 2015, and it was one of our first vacations together (other than the lake). We were driving to Chicago with a group of our friends to watch the Kansas City Royals. Tickets were purchased, hotel rooms reserved (more like motel I suppose?) and transportation was acquired. The road trip We all […]

Babies are so great, you guys. I love getting to meet new families (or in this case, reconnect with a college friend) and capture these precious moments when they get to bring their baby home and bask in the joy of their growing family. I first met Kelsie in 2008 at the University of Missouri, where […]

Oh this sweet girl. She is something else. I had a blast with this precious baby and her family on Saturday. She loves to smile, but finds my camera so interesting that she often became so busy staring at it that she stopped smiling for a bit. We stepped outside for some family photos and […]

Capturing real, candid moments, like at a birth or wedding, are honestly where I am more comfortable due to my degree. I was so blessed to have […]

February flew by so unbelievably fast, and while I know it is the shortest month so much has happened. We’ve done so much wedding planning (like finding my dress and Justin’s amazing suit) and we actually celebrated Valentine’s Day this year. In the past, we have just done movie and a quick dinner. This year […]

The winter months tend to be slower – not as many clients to photograph since it is so cold outside. I like to take that time every year and find a way to better myself and my business. I made the step to change my business name and really put myself out there more. I’ve […]

So this post may be a bit confusing. considering I previously posted that we were going to order Justin’s suit after I completed his measurements. However, when it came time to checkout … let’s just say things seemed a bit on the sketchy side. Now we had a conundrum So here we were without any […]
