Somehow, every personal brand photo session with Chloe from Deeper Than Money is even more fun than the last! She has pretty much become my poster-child for personal brand photos since she almost single-handedly made me fall in love with them.

In early December of 2019, I offered indoor Christmas mini sessions for the first time in Kansas City. I can’t believe how much fun this project was and I’m so grateful for the 13 families who joined me to capture this season in their lives in such a unique way! I can’t believe how adorable […]

Brittany and I were talking today about how she’s been with me since what feels like the beginning!
