The Best Photojournalistic Wedding Photographers in Merriam, KS

I photograph every type of celebration no matter what size. I feel our style and method are suited for those who go against the grain and for those who desire authentic storytelling

I grew up in a divided home, literally. Splitting time between my parents after their divorce, often being in the middle of their fighting, made me grow into a very empathetic person. It’s become the biggest strength I take with me into wedding days. My documentary style stems from my ability to sense when special moments are about to happen. I am able to sense emotions that aren’t necessarily visible, sense when to come close and when to be a fly-on-the-wall, and sense what/who is important to you therefore important to photograph.

Hi there! Nice to meet you! I’m a photographer, full-time executive assistant at a non-profit organization, graphic designer, true crime weirdo, and karaoke expert in Kansas City, Missouri. Most importantly, I’m a mom to a sweet baby boy and two pups, and I’m in love with my best friend. Twelve years ago, in a tiny Kansas town called Yoder, I started my little photo business. Since then, I’ve been so lucky to be able to create many life-long friendships with tons of incredible people throughout the Midwest and beyond.

The rawness of emotion & human connection is what drew me into wedding and portrait photography. I am a storyteller and celebrater for the lighthearted and crazy in love. I focus on capturing authentic photographs that stand the test of time. My goal is to provide couples with one heck of an experience and images that can be cherished for a generations. One of my favorite facts about my style is that I created my own preset from scratch, and that each photo receives the dedicated time it takes to ensure that its final version is its best. The result is beautiful, sentimental photos that preserve meaningful and true-to-life moments.

Weddings are my passion, it's not the decor, or the outfits, it's the pure LOVE between my couples.

Getting to use my talent to document their connection and all the amazing moments during the day is really a dream come true.

There is nothing I love more than capturing special moments between loved ones - whether it be bride and groom or parents and their children. I'm best at the in-between moments that you weren't expecting. The picture catches you off guard and makes you say "wow, I didn't know you got that". I'm always looking for real emotions and interactions.
