I am here to authentically document life’s big milestones: buying a house, getting engaged, getting married, having children, adopting a dog, making homemade pizza in the kitchen, or simply, just because time feels like it’s going by too quickly and you want to remember your life exactly as it is right now.
With 7 years and 200+ weddings under my belt, I provide a luxury photography experience that doesn’t feel stuffy. Your gallery will have a healthy balance of posed portraits and authentic, candid moments.
Consider me the Leslie Knope of photography: a genuine hype woman with a natural sense of optimism, organized and detail-oriented, and always goes above and beyond to make sure you feel loved and taken care of during this major life milestone.
When I'm not behind the camera, you can catch me at a Royals game, lifting weights, drinking craft margaritas, and finding the best biscuits and gravy in town. I live in downtown KC with my partner of 8 years. He does cool things, too, but that's not why you're here.

I love them both equally.
Baseball. I love catching a mid-week Royals day game to enjoy sunshine and a beer with my brother.
I believe in the power of biscuits & gravy to cure a life or an actual hangover.
Boujee home cooking - homemade pasta, sous vide steaks, slow-simmered sauces, dessert always.
I am passionate about representation and social justice. I am a proud (bi) member of the Mid-America LGBT Chamber, and I am a firm believer in putting my money where my mouth is: I am very active in progressive politics and have worked with candidates such as Jason Kander, Sly James, and Quinton Lucas; I work with Harvesters to help end hunger and food deserts, and I was a nominee for the Big Brothers Big Sisters Most Wanted Auction in 2020.
I’m a hype woman in the most sincere way possible. I get so excited seeing my clients enjoying themselves in front of the camera and watching the people around me grow and succeed. Building relationships and caring about you as a person is a core value in my life and in my business.
Establishing and nurturing genuine relationships is the heart and soul of this business. My job is to create a relationship with you to make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, so it feels like a friend is hanging out, not like a stressful situation where you are forced to smile.
