The perks of being the Fall Fun Festival photographer

Hey Class of ‘22, it’s not too late to book your senior portrait session this fall! Let’s create some epic photos together.

Hey hey hey! I would love to earn your vote. And I would like it in a boat and I would like it with a goat. And I would like here and there, and I would like it anywhere.

Wow! I shot my 100th wedding six years ago today. I stopped counting at that point, so I have no idea what number I might be on now. I know I’ve slowed my pace of booking weddings quite a bit since then, because working all day most Saturdays was wearing on me. I began missing my sons’ baseball and basketball games. I was missing backyard barbecues. I’ve missed family gatherings, road trips, funerals, and moments with people I love that can never be replaced. I thoroughly enjoy documenting the celebration of couples in love, surrounded by their amazing friends and family. But being surrounded by my own amazing friends and family is worth so much more to me.

Happy 8-1-6 Day to all my fellow Kansas City lovers! What are your favorite things about this great city? . . . #kansascity #kcmo #kc #816 #816day #midwestisbest #downtownkc #bbq #royals #chiefs #crossroadskc #westbottoms #madeinkc #kansascityphotography #joearthurgatestack

I’m now offering mini sessions for those times when (a) you just need a few great shots of your crew, (b) you don’t require outfit changes or a ton of backdrop swaps, (c) you only want to spend 20 minutes in front of a camera. Get with me for more details. P.S. I just adore this family!

Live music! It’s a thing again, right? Kind of? What are some shows you can’t wait to see? #prepandemic #precovid19 #kansascity #kcmusic #livemusic #livemusicphotography #concert #concertphotography #switchfoot #throwback

Years ago, I entertained a silly idea. Something too far out of reach. Something that would be possible in the realm of a wild reality that didn't exist for me. But little things kept happening that pushed me to reconsider the possibility. Seeds were planted, and roots dug in that wouldn't let go. I thought a lot about what it means to take risks that can push those silly ideas into that wild reality.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our ribbon cutting ceremony this evening! So excited to be a part of downtown Blue Springs.

These two are getting married next year. And I have the incredible honor of being chosen to document the moment they make a promise to one another, officially start their lives together, and continue writing the ever-unfolding story that will be uniquely theirs. Congratulations on your engagement, Lacey and Mikey!

Seriously, these two! I mean... these two and a half! #lifestylematernity #lifestylematernityphotography #inhomesession #maternityphotography #maternityshoot #kansascityphotographer #couples #babybumb

This definitely won’t be the most important vote you’ll cast this year, but I’d be grateful for it anyway. :)
