Hello to my old, new, and soon-to-be friends! I'm a Colorado born & raised mountain girl currently photographing (and eating) my way through Kansas City. I have the most amazing husband I could have ever imagined (Preston) and the cutest pup in the world (Bentley). I fell in love with photographing people in 2011 and haven't looked back since.
I'm an Enneagram 7w6 (The Enthusiast) so I'm constantly dreaming about and anticipating the future and am usually way too excited about everything. I value life, love, and family to the max and adore capturing what matters through images! I hope you'll let me help tell your story!

the photographer
Bright and colorful are the words I use to describe my images. Not "light and airy" like you hear used so often because I think that can sometimes feel washed out and I like my photos to have some 'pop'!
I always aim for a balance between posed images and a candid, more documentary-style that capture the in-between moments because I believe both are important to remembering your wedding day or this season in your family's life!
In case you can't tell, I love having fun and I enjoy each photo session so much! I adore working with joyful people who aren't afraid to be a little silly and most importantly THEMSELVES!!
