Why I Love a Full Family Session There is something I love about photographing a family when we have nowhere else we need to be. No rushing through a list of combinations. No watching the clock. No feeling like we have to get the family photo and then call it good. Just time. Time to […]

I’m usually much more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it, so being featured by VoyageKC in their Life & Work series felt a little unusual—and very meaningful. The feature, Life & Work with Chelsea Morris of Kansas City, gave me an opportunity to reflect on the winding road that brought me to […]

Part Two After their intimate beach ceremony, Erin and Jarred carried their celebration over to one of the most unique and scenic venues in Santa Barbara—the Sea Center on Stearns Wharf. With panoramic ocean views, a glowing sunset, and a sea breeze rolling in, it was the perfect setting for the next chapter of their […]

Part One Erin and Jarred celebrated their love in the most beautiful way—by splitting their wedding into two unforgettable celebrations. The first was a heartfelt, intimate ceremony on the beach across from Hotel Milo, surrounded by their closest family and friends. It was one of those perfect October days on the Central Coast—the kind where […]

Earlier this year I had the honor of photographing my friend and fellow artist, Jeremiah Ariaz, whose work has long inspired me with its depth, clarity, and cultural resonance. Today, Jeremiah is bringing his vision to Kansas State University’s Beach Museum of Art, where he will be giving a talk at 5:30 pm as part […]

This stunning editorial was inspired by the sophistication of […]

After spending time photographing Jeremiah and Lily’s engagement session in the Flint Hills—a landscape so deeply tied to their personal and creative lives—it felt incredibly fitting to return to the region for their rehearsal dinner. Set against the warm tones and wide skies of Kansas, their rehearsal dinner felt less like a formal event and […]

Some love stories are deeply rooted in place—and for Jeremiah and Lily, that place is the Flint Hills of Kansas. Having shared years of memories in this expansive, windswept region, it felt only fitting that we photographed their engagement session in the very landscape that has means so much to them. Jeremiah has been part […]

  It was such a pleasure meeting this sweet family that recently moved to the Midwest from the Upper Northwest Coast. We explored Camp Aldrich together – and I’ve got to say – if you’ve never been, it’s a must, especially in the Fall as the leaves change.

I love celebrating birthday’s with photoshoot and Hazen’s was no different! She’s a vibrant, adorable two year and we had the best time capturing her spirit.
