Wedding

I loved everything about Katie and Stephen’s modern wedding in downtown Kansas City. Loews Hotel KC has got to be one of the best places to take wedding portraits, period. The Bardot is also a stunning venue, so a combination of the two? Absolutely incredible. As a lot of the couples I work with are, […]

Alaina and Mac look every bit the modern couple in this, yes, I’ll say it again, Vogue-worthy engagement session.

Excuse the break in our regularly scheduled programming!  With all the editorial, Vogue-worthy engagement and wedding sessions I’ve been posting lately, I decided to switch it up and show you all a beautiful, in-studio newborn session with my client Kate. I love doing in-studio newborn sessions– it’s a chance for the new mother to feel […]

Family

In most posts I mention how much each session means to me, and that’s always true, but this one in particular has a very special place in my heart. My amazing daughter Lorelai turned two last year, and we created the most magical birthday party to celebrate her!   From the cookies to the donuts […]

This beautiful, editorial engagement session from last Fall with BreAnne and Andrew is perfection.   We started at The Colonnade, then moved to Mission Hills and the Plaza before finally finishing the session at Loose Park. I loved all of BreAnne’s outfit changes, and let’s all take a moment to appreciate her stunning green dress! […]
