I’m a destination photographer based in Kansas City, known for creating colorful, joyful, and timeless images. With a background in architectural engineering and lighting design, I bring a trained eye for light, composition, and storytelling that turns ordinary moments into meaningful works of art.

For over 15 years, I’ve had the honor of photographing weddings of all kinds - from colorful celebrations to intimate timeless weddings. My clients trust me to capture their most meaningful moments with care, beauty, and heart. I am known to bring a calm presence on wedding days which makes my clients feel at ease.

I’m a mom of two amazing kids and have built my photography business rooted in balance, joy, and connection. I’ll gently guide you, help you feel confident and natural in front of the camera, and make sure your experience feels effortless, easy, and fun. 

When I’m not behind the camera, I mentor and teach other photographers through workshops and online education—sharing everything I’ve learned about creating beautiful images and a business that’s full of purpose and joy. I also have an interior design business helping people design their dream homes. My dream destination weddings to capture would be in Arizona, Santorini, Switzerland, Mexico, or California.

If you're dreaming of light, timeless, colorful wedding photos that reflect your story, I’d be honored to connect! Let’s create something beautiful together.
