Engagement Session

Snow, a beautiful couple and a big gray dog! A snowy engagement session is always a good idea but it can be hard to schedule.  It depends on the amount of snow and if you can prepare for a last-minute shoot!  I received a text from Whitney after our “big” snow last week, asking me […]

Spring Outdoor Sessions

I am just so happy this couple choose us to shoot their wedding next June!  They are the sweetest and so creative!  Janelle and I went to Chris’ family’s farm, in Gerald, MO.  This beautiful area had fields, a lake, creek, rock road, and the most scenic backgrounds, perfect for an evening session in the spring! Thank you, Samantha and Chris for having us, and I hope you love your photos!  We, too, are counting down until your special day!

Spring Outdoor Sessions

To say I am excited about shooting this wedding would be a complete understatement!  I had Liz in class at Borgia High School, and it’s so amazing to see a former student so happy!  Better yet, I get to witness it first-hand!

Outdoor

On Monday, the weather was 70-something-degrees for this beautiful session.  Today, it’s in the 40s!  Luckily, the weather worked in our favor, and we were able to catch some pretty color, that ironically looks like fall colors.  Mollie and Phil are getting married this fall, and I cannot wait for more amazing pictures of these two!

Wedding Planning

Saturday’s engagement session completely blew me away for so many reasons.  The weather was way warmer than I could have imagined for a January session, considering we had ice one week prior!  Capturing these two was simple.  I barely had to tell them what to do because their embrace was picture-perfect!  I cannot wait until their winter wedding this year, because they are truly “naturals” in front of the camera!  Thank you, Chloe and Tim, for such a great session!

I have always had a love for art and storytelling. Photography allows me to combine my journalism background and my artistic point-of-view, which has become my dream career!

I am a wife, mom, and small business owner. On the days when I'm not at the studio, you can find me at home, editing, busy with my boys, or maybe redecorating my house, because the artsy-side of my mind just doesn't stop!
