Alex and Nate’s engagement session from last fall had the absolute best fall colors to compliment them.

This editorial, French styled shoot was at The Abbott  in Kansas City. As the sole photographer for this editorial shoot, I wanted to use this beautiful space and juxtapose the softness of the bridal details with the hardness of the industrial background.   A huge thank-you to all the wonderful vendors and stunning models for […]

This editorial, downtown Kansas City engagement session is truly one of my favorite to date.   Fedra and Comron knew they wanted an editorial photographer, but were afraid they could not pull it off.
