It was such a pleasure to meet this sweet family and have the opportunity to capture their first official family photos!! They adopted Jayda just 3 days before we took these photos and had taken the day off to spend with her and celebrate!! Ruby and Johnny foster two other children as well; I have so much respect for them as they put the needs of these kiddos above their own and show them the love and grace of God. Springtime at Loose Park, Kansas City was simply stunning and we didn’t have to fight any other crowds of people since we took advantage of the early morning hours!

This was an engagement session for the books!! Since this sweet couple adores Kansas City, we made sure to capture a lot of what really makes up the essence of the place. Starting at one of their favorite coffee shops, Messenger Coffee, we then moved a few blocks away and shot in some alleys and on the streets of the Crossroads Arts District. Finally, we ended downtown in the Power & Light District to catch the city lights as they started to glimmer soon before sunset. I can’t wait for Jaque & Andy’s wedding in Paola, KS this November!

I adore shooting at new-to-me locations and that’s exactly what Burr Oak Woods Conservation Area was for this KC metro engagement session! I had gone out a couple weeks earlier to location scout and boy am I glad I did, because it took me awhile to find this infamous spot, the conservation area is over 1000 acres after all… I actually had to stop in the Nature Center and show them a photo of what I was looking for before I realized it was barely inside the front gate!
Read MoreI get it. One of the most stressful parts of family photos is just choosing what to wear! We think we have to get it perfect before we hire someone to capture this season in our family’s life and feel like we never quite get there, so it can even become the thing that makes us keep putting a photo session off. It’s happened to me too, but I’m here to encourage you not to let that be the reason you don’t take family pictures this year!
That being said, here are 10 tips for planning out your family photo outfits to help take the stress out of the process. There is also a bonus section if you keep reading with inspiration for where to shop!

When Katie was looking for a maternity photographer, she found me and four other photographers in Kansas City online. She sent our work to her photographer friend in Phoenix, where she’s from, and let her choose. She said her friend chose me because my work was the most consistent….. what an incredible compliment! It definitely made my morning :) Katie and Eric are so fun and easy-going, I had such a wonderful time with this sunrise shoot at Loose Park. She will be induced in a week or two and I wish them all the best with this new, incredible season of life they’re about to embark on!

I feel so lucky to have gotten to end my 2018 with such a bang because of this California wedding! What a treat it was to escape the cold for a bit and celebrate the beginning of Kevin & Dayna’s life together on December 1st. These two met through mutual friends who played matchmaker for them. Their friends thought they’d be good together and it turns out, they were right!

The Mayor’s Christmas tree in Crown Center, Kansas City, was the absolute perfect backdrop for Andy to propose to Jacque on this crisp, December day. They are the sweetest couple and I can’t believe how lucky I was to be the one who got to watch him pop the question and witness their first moments of joy as they look towards forever together! Since it’s usually the bride who finds me in her search for a wedding photographer after she is already engaged, it’s not often that I get to be there for the actual proposal… much less get invited to the engagement party!! What a treat!

Nathan and Macy are the kind of people you feel like you’ve known forever when you first meet them. So kind and fun-loving, they are exactly the kind of couple I adore working with! Loose Park is typically teeming with photographers, but we had the whole place to ourselves, possibly due to the crazy blizzard a few days before that covered everything in snow! I can’t believe how different it looked covered in white!
