“Autumn, the year’s last, loveliest smile.” — William Cullen Bryant
I’ve had a beautiful time taking photos this fall, and these new clients were no exception! This was my final session at the Lenexa City Center, but we switched it up and went to the fields across the street in search of some fall foliage and golden light. Here are a few of my favorite shots!

Family Portraits | Krumsick Family
Another one of my regular families chose Lenexa City Center for a change of pace from the usual parks. It was fun finding different spots for each family at the city center, especially because the three mini sessions were all family and didn’t want to end up with similar holiday cards & photos on their walls!
Family Portraits | Ballew Family
Here’s the second family photos I took at the Lenexa City Center last weekend. Pro tip: fake laugh while you’re posing. It really works – just look at the shot of the three kiddos!
Ernie Miller Minis | Julie + Andy
Last weekend, I got to soak up the autumn light at Ernie Miller Nature Center with a few mini sessions — and wow, that place is showing off this time of year!
First up were Julie and Andy, who mentioned the last time they had professional photos taken was with Easter bunnies. Needless to say, they were overdue for some updated photos — and they totally nailed it.
Senior Photos | Meet Kaitlin
Lately, senior photos have been my favorite photos to shoot. There’s something special about really having time to warm up to the camera, trying different poses or angles, and giving someone a chance to shine and feel special. I had a blast with Kaitlin, and as it often goes, it was hard to narrow down so many gorgeous shots!
Senior Photos | Meet Gracie
I had a blast taking Gracie’s senior photos last weekend. She rocked the poses and was open to whatever I suggested. I love how her look completely changed with one outfit switch. Isn’t she gorgeous?
Family Photos | Spring Has Sprung
After a few months’ winter hibernation, I’m back with my first spring portraits of 2025! I’ve been doing this family’s photos for years, and we finally circled back to a location when did several years ago – Antioch Park. And yes…we may have recreated a couple photos. Here are a few of my favorites from the day!
Senior Photos | Urban Lawrence
Lawrence, Kansas is a great place for urban portraits. I had so much fun taking Bethany’s senior photos there last weekend!
Family Portraits | Peak Color
I thought most of the fall color was gone by the time we shot this session last weekend, but I was so wrong! The evening sun hitting those trees … perfection!
Fall mini #4 | Ernie Miller Park
Meet little miss MJ – and the rest of her amazing family – who you’ve seen here a time or two. They were actually my very first clients, and I love how their family continues to grow!
