It was a hot and humid day for Hadley and Erica’s Shawnee Mission Park Engagement session.  Fortunately we had clouds and a setting sun to help us out.  The fields at the park are full of wildflowers and prairie grass, giving us a beautiful Kansas engagement session.  These two were so much fun, neither of […]

For all the years I’ve lived in Kansas City, last weekend was my first time at Powell Gardens.  The grounds, the chapel, the barns, and of course the flowers, did not disappoint.  The entire property is beautiful.  Chris and Gabby picked the perfect venue for their September Wedding.  A Powell Gardens Wedding and a reception […]

Whether it’s a cool day in August or a warm day in February, unexpected pleasant weather is always welcome. When it happens to come on your wedding day it’s an even greater gift.

It’s Senior Photo season in Kansas City, and Emma is my first senior of the year!  Emma’s mom and I met at work several years ago and we’ve been friends ever since.  I’ve loved getting to hear all about Emma through the years.  When it came time for her senior photos, Emma, her mom, and […]

As a photographer my goal is always finding the best light.  During Christian and Katie’s Loose Park engagement session I don’t know how many times I told Katie her hair was absolutely glowing!  The sunlight at this hot July session was a photographer’s dream.  Soft, dreamy, warm light that just made these two pop!  We […]

A warm summer breeze and a rustic timber barn created the back drop for last week’s wedding.  Garrett and Lindsey’s Heritage Ranch wedding in Sedalia, Missouri was a quintessential midwest summer day.  A hot summer day turned into a warm summer night as the couple danced under the glow of hundreds of cafe lights.  With […]

When Tessa contacted me earlier this year, I was thrilled at the opportunity to photograph at the Kansas City LDS Temple again.  I was there last summer and absolutely love the property and the beauty of the temple itself.  Seth and Tessa’s wedding on a sunny, Saturday afternoon was a gorgeous celebration of love.  Surrounded […]

Every detail of Ryan and Cheyenna’s June wedding was planned with care.  From the bouquets the bride made herself, the personal touches in the ceremony, and the beautiful venue.  I can’t think of a better location for a country themed wedding than the Countryside Chalet in Linwood, Kansas.  The entire day was a perfect representation […]
