Engagement

Katie and Jacob’s romantic outdoor engagement session is a beautiful, editorial dream. This gorgeous couple’s styles complimented each other so well, plus they looked incredible in front of all the greenery.

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

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

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.

As Emily stated: “My engagement session is going to be toned down from what I actually want to do on my wedding day for posing.” Like, what? My DREAM CLIENT!

Styled Shoots

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 […]

Being able to have variety is the key to capturing this luxury-style atmosphere in a session like this.  Bailey […]

Engagement

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. I reassured them I would be able to deliver what they envisioned! During the session I showed the back of the […]

Engagement

Kansas City is for lovers… that’s the common saying, right? The hard backdrop of the concrete buildings with the softness and ease of the harmony between Alyssa and Pete made for an incredible pairing. Alyssa and Pete’s was one of our first engagement sessions of the year, and as they looked to be falling more […]
