I live in Smithville, MO, but service all of the Kansas City area. Will charge a fee if driving over 25 miles from Smithville ,MO. Local newborn sessions ONLY (under 25 miles).



I find joy in photographing all session types, but I really have
a passion for capturing lifestyle storytelling images that
make you FEEL something. These sessions include maternity, newborn, and Immediate family.
Reach out if you don't see a session type on here, and let's see if we can work something out.


I take a laid back approach to capture the moments that matter.
I give gentle guidance to my clients to help create beautiful images that make you feel something. My sessions are all about exploring your connections with each other, and creating a gallery that reflects the bond you share. We’ll focus on capturing the emotion, play and interaction you have with one another. All the tiny details that define your personalities. I want to tell your story with emotive imagery, and have tons of fun doing it!


I suggest locations based on your completed questionnaire and the vibe you want to achieve. Are you wanting to throw rocks into a lake, and feel like you are walking along the "beach"? How about dancing in a grassy field? Hiking through the woods? Perhaps, somewhere unique like a tree farm, apple orchard, ice cream shop, greenhouse, or studio? Maybe you even want to do a simple backyard session at your home. Once that has been decided, I have several places to recommend. I will contact you 1-2 days prior to session to finalize location and exact session time.


Outdoor sessions are scheduled 1-2 hours before sunset or at sunrise if you are an early riser. This is when the lighting is best. If you are worried about bedtime routines, please keep that in mind when booking your session. June and July are the latest start sessions. September-November being the earliest start sessions.

In home lifestyle sessions are scheduled M-F ONLY between 9 am- 2 pm depending on natural light in your home. NO weekend availability. Please keep this in mind when booking.


I recommend booking these around 29-33 weeks of pregnancy. That way you still feel good and can still easily get into certain poses without being uncomfortable.


I recommend taking newborn photos between 14-28 days after birth. If you would like a fresh 48 hours, those are taken in the hospital setting.


Complimentary styling, clothing recommendations, and access to my client closet are included when you book a full storytelling session with me. I think you need to look your best to feel your best. Everyone should coordinate or blend well. I favor neutrals, earthy tones with patterns mixed in. I however, will opt for some fun color pops if the session calls for it!


If it is a cloudy day that is not a problem. However, if it rains, snows, hails, etc. I will be in contact with you as soon as possible to postpone or reschedule.



Wahoooo! I am so excited to share your photos with you! Galleries are typically delivered within 3-4 weeks, but may take up to 6 weeks if during the busy season. Please don't ask me to edit just ONE photo. Thank you for understanding.
