I hope you had a Merry Christmas! It has been a while since I’ve posted any recent shoots — things have been a little crazy around here, and are not letting up as we approach the new year. It’s a good place to be, though. I like to be busy, and I’m super excited for...

What’s your story this year? (Christmas portrait special)
Happy December 1st! I just love this month — the anticipation of Christmas, and the end of the year is on the horizon. It’s always a time of joy, thankfulness, and reflection on what 2011 held. A year in the life of a family, a couple, or a child is often marked by something big...
Kayley and Cody are engaged!
Remember that adorable red-headed baby boy from a few posts ago? Well, the whole family is pretty awesome. Meet Aiden’s aunt Kayley. She just got engaged to (her now-fiancee) Cody, and I was so excited to take their photos! Kayley and I have both volunteered with HOBY, an amazing youth leadership program, for years and...
Lauren and Ryan’s engagement session: an amazingly beautiful fall evening.
Where do I even begin with Lauren and Ryan? They’re funny, easygoing, and so much fun to be around. They also have this amazing chemistry in front of the camera, and you can just see how much they mean to each other. I told them during the shoot that they look super comfortable together, totally...
Johna and Mitch’s Engagement Session!
Johna, Mitch, and their two sweet dogs met me at sunrise (on one of the first pretty chilly mornings of the fall!) for an engagement session. It was awesome to get to know them a little bit — Johna and Mitch are super fun, easygoing, and have a great time together. They care deeply about...

A gorgeous evening with beautiful sunset light, a super fun couple who love each other a lot, a quirky little winery near Topeka, Kansas, horses running free on a farm, golden fall leaves, a game of catch, long tree-lined paths, and a strong Kansas wind. Dresden and John’s engagement session...

We took SO many photos during their shoot, which involved all sorts of things — stay tuned for a bigger post with more photos from their incredible session. For now, enjoy the beauty of a Kansas sunset in the...
Courtney and Chase’s Kansas City Engagement Photos!
Courtney and Chase have a lot of fun together. They both love sports, and play on softball and volleyball teams with their friends. They love to stay active and explore the city that they both currently call home — Kansas City! A lot of their games happen at Penn Valley Park, the park near Liberty...
Nate and Maggie on a sunny day: Kansas City engagement photos!
Nate and Maggie are awesome. For a lot of reasons, including the fact that when they were dating, they created a list of things they had to see and do in Kansas City together. One of those things on the list was visiting the Nelson-Atkins art museum. The first time Nate visited the museum with...
Mandi and Nathan’s Engagement Photos at Leawood Park!
Mandi and Nathan, and their canine daughter Gemma, had such a fun session engagement session at Leawood Park. It was a hot, hot evening, but they still looked awesome. And Gemma is just adorable! They are really excited to get married this October, and I’m really looking forward to being there for it. Here are...
