The sacred beauty of your everyday, preserved.
Real. Unfiltered. Emotional.
These are your moments
Lifestyle photography and films for Kansas City families who want to remember the sacredness of “right now.” Capturing the heart of family life—just as it unfolds. Honest. Unscripted. Full of grace.
It’s not the posed moments you’ll miss.
It’s the way your child wraps their arms around your neck.
The way sunlight dances across your kitchen floor.
The quiet prayers whispered over bedtime curls.
These are the things you’ll want to remember.
And this is the story I’m here to tell.
Capturing family life in all its realness—unscripted, God-soaked, beautifully yours. My approach is gentle, rooted in presence, and guided by grace. You don’t have to perform. You don’t have to plan. Just be here, and let the light in.
Let's Tell the Story You'll Want to Remember
Life doesn’t wait for us to be ready. It unfolds quietly—in the way your baby curls into your chest, the sound of laughter at the dinner table, the soft chaos of bedtime routines. These are the holy, ordinary moments we’re most likely to forget… but they are the ones that shape our families forever.
As a Kansas City lifestyle photographer and filmmaker, my heart is to preserve the beauty of real family life right here in the Midwest. Whether I’m documenting a cozy morning in your Brookside home, golden-hour play in a Lee’s Summit field, or newborn snuggles in an Overland Park nursery—my approach is the same: gentle, honest, reverent.
This work isn’t just about beautiful images or polished films. It’s about preserving the presence of God in your everyday life—the glimpses of grace that show up in sticky fingers, tired eyes, and arms wrapped around each other at the end of a long day.
Because one day, all that remains are the stories we’ve chosen to keep.
And I believe the most important ones are already happening—right here in Kansas City, right there in your living room.
I document families not as they look, but as they are—with reverence for what it means to belong to each other. To show up in love, again and again. To hold sacred the gift of now.
Let’s preserve what God is doing in your family, right now
Why This Matters
Tell the Story You'll Want to Return to.
The Experience
Every family has a story worth remembering—yours included. Whether we’re documenting a slow Saturday morning in your Olathe home, a sunset walk through Shawnee Mission Park, or a newborn session in your cozy Kansas City nursery, my goal is always the same: to create a space where you can simply be.
No pressure. No performance. Just presence.
Here’s what the process looks like:
Before the Session
Once you inquire, I’ll send over a short questionnaire so I can get to know your family, your rhythm, and what moments matter most to you. We’ll chat about location ideas—from your home to favorite KC outdoor spots like Loose Park or the West Bottoms—and I’ll help with outfit guidance that feels like you.
During the Session
This is the fun part. You don’t need to “do” anything. I’ll gently guide when needed, but mostly I’ll just observe—capturing the real stuff: the way your toddler rests their head on your shoulder, your hands brushing against each other while making pancakes, your laughter echoing through a backyard full of life.
After the Session
Within a few weeks, you’ll receive your full gallery of hand-edited images or a heartfelt lifestyle film set to music—delivered in a way that’s easy to download, share, and treasure. Every photo, every frame, made to reflect the beauty of your real life in Kansas City.
This isn’t about creating perfection. It’s about remembering the real—the fleeting, God-filled moments that make your family yours.
If this feels like home to your heart, I’d be honored to document it >
My Approach
Rooted in Presence. Guided by Grace. Told with Truth.
I’m not here to stage a perfect version of your life—I’m here to witness the real one. The quiet glances. The toddler twirls in the kitchen. The way your baby finds your eyes and feels safe. These moments may feel ordinary now, but they are holy ground. They’re the kind of memories that anchor a family’s story.
As a Kansas City lifestyle photographer and filmmaker, I bring a gentle, documentary approach to every session—whether we’re in your Lenexa living room or chasing light through a field in Liberty. I don’t direct much. I observe. I wait. I let the moment speak first.
What this looks like in real time:
I show up like a friend, not a director.
I let your kids be kids. Wild, shy, messy—it all belongs.
I capture movement, sound, connection—especially the things you’ll miss in the blur of daily life.
I prioritize presence over perfection, because I believe that's where the beauty lives.
This isn’t just about art—it’s about legacy. About honoring what God is doing in and through your family right now. The chaos, the calm, the sacred in-between.
Your family’s story is already unfolding. I just get the honor of telling it.
