I remember once waking up in the middle of the night, early in my pregnancy with Annabelle, and finding my husband wide awake, hands perched behind his head, eyes staring toward the ceiling and a happy smile on his face. I asked him what he was thinking about, and he said, “Oh, just swingsets.” He...

Family Fun in Kansas City | Liberty, MO Family Photography
We had such a fun Memorial Day weekend in Kansas City! Annabelle LOVES hot air balloons, so we headed down to Gardner, KS and attended the Kansas City Hot Air Balloon Invitational held at Celebration Park. We arrived in plenty of time to enjoy the bouncy castles, and the amazing Face Painting Paradise artists also...
Things I Love Thursday: My Family | Liberty, MO Family Lifestyle Photographer
This teacup is a special one. My friend Emily gifted it to her bridesmaids when she married, and while I never asked her about why she chose it, I could imagine why she picked it. Her husband has a German last name, and the teacup itself is imported from Germany. (I love little details like...

Goodbye, boots…. Hello, memories! – Liberty, MO Baby & Child Custom Photographer
I’m the sort of person who enjoys the beginning and the end of things – especially seasons.

And now it is the end of summer, and August is upon us....
Louise + Mom & Dad: A Family Lifestyle Session – Kansas City, MO Child & Family Photographer
I met Louise’s mom, Bridget, two years ago when navigating the many parenting activities available in Kansas City. Our girls are similar ages. Bridget is one of those instantly likable people with whom you feel an almost instant kinship, because she simply emanates positivity and kindness. She’s craaaazy talented as a musician, and one thing...
