Several months ago my friend Madison and I decided we wanted to host a styled shoot in Kansas City.  We spent weeks brainstorming and over several meetings our ideas finally came together and the “Love is an Art” styled wedding was born. The 21c Museum Hotel in downtown Kansas City was the perfect location for […]

If you can’t tell by these photos, Cameron and Megan are completely in love.  Their joy and laughter is contagious and their Elms Hotel and Downtown Excelsior Springs engagement session was so much fun!  These two live outside of Kansas City, but were back in town for a weekend of wedding planning and engagement photos.  […]

Jack and Emily’s Spring wedding at Plaza Heights Baptist Church and the Cotillion was a beautiful celebration.  Their love for each other and God was evident throughout the day.  We started the day with Emily and her Bridesmaids getting ready at her family home while Jack and the groomsmen got ready at the church.  Emily’s […]

My first wedding of the 2019 wedding season was Dylan and Jessika’s Malvern Iowa Wedding.  Held at the Lakin Community Center in April, the wedding was absolutely beautiful.  I grew up near Malvern and have very fond memories of visiting my grandparents there.  Photographing my cousin Jessika’s wedding was an honor.  The weather was as […]

Brett and Emily’s Messenger Coffee Engagement session was absolutely perfect for a cold and rainy day.  I always recommend that couples choose meaningful locations for their sessions, and Messenger Coffee is one of Brett and Emily’s favorite Kansas City Coffee Shops!  Following Emily on Instagram, I’ve seen many coffee dates in her Insta-Stories.  I’m thrilled […]

If the colors at Loose Park are any indication, Spring has arrived in Kansas City.  Garrett and Lindsey’s Loose Park and Downtown Kansas City engagement session couldn’t have landed on a more beautiful day.  From the green grass to the pink and purple flowers, Loose park was the perfect spot to document their engagement.  Their […]

If you ask if you can bring your dog to your engagement session, my answer is always yes!  I can’t promise your pup will be as well behaved as sweet little Mila was. 🙂  Nick and Kristine chose early spring in Kansas City for their engagement session.  The grass was just starting to turn green […]

Reed Conservation Center at the end of March for their Spring engagement session.  I could not have been happier with this location.  Tall trees, […]
