These sessions are always such a unique and fun experience. The light and the beauty in this place is just magnificent. I’m grateful for Lindsey and the Hext family spending some time with me out in the happy sunflower field!
Last year, I got to capture Daisy’s newborn pictures, and this year her first birthday! She is such a happy girl with the brightest eyes you ever did see. Her parents are so sweet and wonderful as well – always a joy to be around. Happy Birthday to Daisy!
My dear friends are moving from their home of the last 8 years to a new space in a nearby neighborhood. They wanted a special way to remember this place, so we spent a morning doing what they love most!
Sharing food at the table, wrestling, dancing, playing in the front yard, and lots and lots of laughter. This was such an honor to capture and I’m so grateful to know these people!
I had the absolute honor of taking these photos for my sister and brother-in-law announcing they’re pregnant with their sweet baby boy! This will be the first grandkid in our family and we are all so excited!
They are just the most beautiful people and we had the most beautiful background in Colorado. It was a wonderful day. Can’t wait to meet this little guy!
This early morning session was still no match for the Kansas City heat. But standing in a creek sure helped! This family is soon heading on to new adventures, so it was an honor to do this mini session with them before they move away!
Catch your breath
on the wind —
Let heaven fill your lungs
with hope —
not fear.
And form your lips
to the shape of praise —
Broken and bleeding,
torn by the air
but still singing.

What a precious, happy family. These sweet friends are some of the most fun humans you can meet. Their little guy was full of smiles and the fall colors were just right.
My dear friend Lindsey. She’s a treasure. A delight. She is the Queen of Pie-Making and stewards her home to be a place of warmth, beauty, and hospitality. If you know her, you love her.
We spent an afternoon together and I was able to catch her in her most natural habitat – preparing a pie for some church members to enjoy. What a woman.
There is nothing quite like a sweet, blue-eyed newborn baby girl to start off October on the right foot. Daisy was a delight to capture – she has no idea how blessed she is to have these two as her parents.
And she will certainly be blessed with the longest eyelashes in the land (I mean just look at her mom & dad!).
Welcome to the world, Daisy!
This sweet little family was the start of the Fall photo season. It was so much fun to spend time with them and walk through the early fall beauty.
