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.
When family comes to town from across the country, how can you not include them in your photo session? This one was extra special — spanning four generations of cousins, parents, uncles and aunts, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. A little class, a little chaos, and a whole lot of joy.
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!
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?
World, meet JJ! He’s the sweetest little guy, and I’m honored his family chose me to take their family photos with him. Newborns are the most challenging and rewarding portraits I take, but I love every second of it. Here are a few of my favorite photos of the beautiful family!
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!
Lawrence, Kansas is a great place for urban portraits. I had so much fun taking Bethany’s senior photos there last weekend!
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!
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!
