Every once in a while, a senior session feels like stepping straight into a storybook… and Mattea absolutely brought that energy. I swear she sprinkled a little bit of fairy dust everywhere she went — the magic at this session? Off the charts. We wandered through Antioch Park in Kansas City, soaking in the changing […]

Some seniors just get the assignment… and Atticus was absolutely one of them. I’m so thankful that family connections brought him to MGP as one of our seniors this year — truly one of the best parts of being a Des Moines senior photographer is getting to meet amazing families through other amazing families. And […]

Some wedding days just feel extra special… and this one will stay with me forever. Stacey and Cedric, you two glow for each other. I’ve known you both for years and have photographed a handful of sessions together, but getting to document your wedding day? That truly takes the cake. The joy, the calm, the […]

There are some places I’ll never get tired of shooting at… and Prairiefire is absolutely one of them. The mix of modern architecture, tall grasses, wildflowers, and that golden Kansas City light delivers every single time. And when you pair a location like that with a senior as stunning and sweet as Aleezay? You get […]

Holy wow. Jamie + Alex’s wedding day was everything a photographer could dream of — classy, bold, wild, emotional, and absolutely unforgettable. From the weather to the people to the pure magic between these two, I walked away feeling ridiculously grateful to document their story. The Monroe in Des Moines understood the assignment. Every corner, […]

Senior year is such a special chapter, and capturing it in a way that truly reflects each senior’s personality is what I live for. Ryen’s session at Jester Hill Flower Farm near Des Moines was the perfect example of that — and WOW, she absolutely radiated. Even in the summer heat, Ryen delivered look after […]

One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is getting to follow people through different chapters of their lives — weddings, families, and sometimes even their businesses. Cole came to me through one of my amazing wedding couples (he’s the groom’s brother!), and he was ready for some fresh content to help elevate his […]

Some wedding days are big and bustling… and some are beautifully simple in the very best way. Jessica and Johnny chose the latter, and it fit them perfectly. Their Kansas City elopement was relaxed, intentional, and overflowing with the quiet kind of love that speaks volumes. I had such a wonderful time documenting their day […]

I am so grateful I got to work with Elizabeth for her senior session! From start to finish, this session was a perfect mix of personality, color, and Kansas City vibes. Elizabeth’s love for pink and her passion for music made planning her session such a joy. We started at Loose Park, taking advantage of […]

Cameron’s senior session had everything I love about photographing high school seniors — personality, variety, and a whole lot of heart. We kicked things off on his family’s property just outside Des Moines, which was the perfect backdrop for classic portraits with a personal twist. I always say the best locations are the ones that […]
