We are well into April and although it still feels like January, its time to start planning to make Mother’s Day special for our moms. Often the Dad’s are responsible for making this day special. If you are like most guys I know, this can be a bit stressful. I figured I’d help you guys…
Goodness, my son is so handsome! One of the best reasons I love being a child portrait photographer is because I get to capture images like this of my kids. Here’s how this session went down… I grabbed my camera and this sweater out of his messy drawer, walked outside to our cul-de-sac where Asa…
For years my husband and I have been on the look out in the Kansas City area for the perfect house. That means we spend hours online and often jump in the car with the kids to look at properties. Several weeks ago we were out driving around to scope out some homes when we…
A Mother’s heart longs for her children to be happy, healthy, and full of life. Sometimes God has a different plan. 3 years ago, I met a couple in the most awful circumstance. They had just lost their sweet newborn, Karalyn, after only 1 hour of life outside the womb. Karalyn suffered from…

Sometimes I really wish I was a more eloquent writer. This post is one of those times. The emotions I have for this family far exceed any words I could write. Meet the Smith family. They have shown so much faith, so much courage and so much strength in the past 2 years that I…
Sometimes life doesn’t turn out the way you planned. Sometimes it turns out better. Meet Mike and Jes. They happen to be the best neighbors ever. So when they announced that they were “gettin’ hitched” in a very private ceremony, I couldn’t help but drag them into my back yard for a quick couples session…
Meet Alex. This girl is talented. Personality and character just ooze out of her. Thankfully she also has an amazing family who supports her love of theater and the arts. So when her mom contacted me to do some professional headshots for this beautiful teen, I was all in. This summer Alex is headed to…
This beautiful family hired me last fall for a mini session but between the weather and a mishap with a bush, we decided to postpone until Spring. With 2 kids who are very active in sports, it was suddenly May before we were able to make this family session happen! By the time it came,…
