It’s been so much fun watching these three children grow.  Planning Emmitt’s fall cake smash session gave us some room to get creative!  Even though he’s not a “cake guy,” we were able to catch some great photos for his first birthday.  Interested in a Cake Smash for your little one? Contact Us!

The rain really made my Friday morning stressful!  We had planned for this session to be held outdoors, with fields and early morning light, but that all changed!  Luckily, under a pretty porch was the next best thing and we were able to get some cute pictures of this family.  We finished with a purple […]

The Fourth of July is almost here! How beautiful is this family?!  They always take the best pictures and I love the “Americana” color scheme! (Danielle is so creative – you should see her house!) We took these pictures at Senate Grove Inn, near their home, in New Haven, MO. This location is beyond beautiful! This […]

Let’s face it – toddlers aren’t easy and everyone knows it.  There’s a fine line between the “joy of parenting” and the “I’m about to lose it” emotions.

Brace yourself for the cuteness you’re about to view!   I was so excited to edit these pictures because I knew as soon as they showed up to the session, this would be awesome!  I’m a dog-lover…..especially dogs that are a bit round and wrinkly and have a smashed face.  (We have a pug.  Same […]

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!
