Senior

Stunning!  It’s the first word that comes to mind when describing Kamryn’s senior session at Shaw Nature Reserve in Gray Summit, MO.  She’s a natural in front of the camera and it shows in the effortless way she smiles and poses.  Her wardrobe selections were spot on!  The pastels helped to create a dreamy look […]

midwest newborn, cake smash + family photographer

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!
