A little about me.. I am guilty of constantly working because I LOVE MY JOB!! I throw my ALL into my work and work super hard to create images that I myself would want to hang on my walls! I have a soft spot for bold and contrasty images. You could describe my style as rustic, boho, wild, fun, country and controlled chaos (with the littles - let’s face it, we want to capture kids AS KIDS and it is OK! Honestly, THE BEST!) - and my absolute FAVORITE place to be is out in the Kansas fields - especially at sunset!
