Let me save you the stress of shopping! As many teen moms have told me, I have not only saved them time, money and headache from shopping with their teen but have actually made the senior process enjoyable. Instead of the arguing or stress of shopping together, parents can now actually sit back, watch their kiddo and soak it all in. My poor mom didn't have this treat when I was a senior. lol All my 2025 senior collections have a style consultation included! I am now scheduling February - July!  lee's summit mo senior photographer. overland park ks senior photographer, lee's summit senior pics, lee's summit mo photographer
Looking forward to working with more Lee's Summit High School Seniors this year! Here's some great looking kiddos I had to pleasure to work with this past year. Enjoy! What's better than a full service studio that offers full wardrobe, professional makeup AND hairstyling! I not only help you find the best outfits for your big day but having a one-stop shot makes your life so stress free, you practically roll out of bed and we will do the rest!   lee's summit senior photographer, lee's summit mo senior pics, kansas city senior photographer, leawood ks photographer, leawood ks senior photographer, harrisonville mo senior photographer, overland park ks senior portraits
Specializing in senior photography in the Greater Kansas City area including: Lee's Summit MO seniors Raymore - Peculiar MO seniors Overland Park KS seniors Leawood KS seniors Butler MO seniors Harrisonville MO seniors Archie MO seniors Adrian MO seniors Kansas City MO seniors Blue Springs MO seniors basically wherever you are!!        Here I am winding down for the year and trying to get another blog in for 2024 especially since I was horrible at writing this year! I had a fabulous year with lots of new faces and many return clients too! It's always a huge honor to see a familiar face in the studio. I'm now on year 9 with my girl Alex Glaviano and wow, I just love her to pieces. She has such a talent and has been the one who makes all west elm photography faces glow. She is the best! For 2025 you will see much of the same around here but more creative pieces. I want to truly find the art in my work again and maybe even stepping outside of the box even more ... so stayed tuned! Striving for more artsy seniors from Lee's Summit too!    lee's summit senior photographer, harrisonville mo senior photographer, kansas city senior photographer, raymore peculiar senior photographer

 Can't wait to meet you!The number of people I have to chase down each year to download their images makes me think, people really aren't printing their images! I think they see their gallery and share a couple on social media from the mobile app I provide but that's it, out of sight, out of mind. I'm definitely guilty of the ones on my phone but professional images, I ALWAYS get printed! For most of us, we get professional photos once a year, do yourself a favor and print them please! When you get them too! I offer genuine leather albums in sizes 5x5, 8x8 10x10 as well as canvases plus styrene prints with custom made wooden stands. I will walk you through each product when you book your session and all you have to do is point to the ones you want printed and I'll do the rest. Here are three gorgeous albums going out today and I can't wait to show them off!  lee's summit senior photographer. lee's summit seniors, lee's summit senior portraits, lee's summit photographer
What a year for styled shoots! My Teen sessions exploded and I couldn't be happier! I worked with teens from Liberty, Shawnee, Leawood, Butler and North KC! This might be my favorite part of photography, the teens are just the best!! Enjoy some from this past year!           overland park photographer, leawood ks photographer, lee's summit photographer, kansas city photographer, lee's summit senior photographer, Harrisonville photographer, kansas city senior photographer
2023 was year of learning more about myself and trying to live my life according to what pleases my inner peace. It stems from my childhood, that I want to do all that I can to make someone happy so they don't leave me. I have been physically abandoned as well as all of my life emotionally abandoned and i'm learning that it's not because I'm not worthy it's because I keep attracting people who take, it's what I'm most comfortable with and that's sad. I'm now aware of that piece of me and trying to change it to attract people that truly care for me and are there for me. Ugh what a blog post eh?
Here's to 2024, another day the Lord has blessed and I intend to do all that I can to make him proud and myself. I will remember that everyone comes from their own trauma and to lend an open heart when I can but never when it jeopardizes my own peace. I can't allow that anymore, I take on too much emotionally. Ugh here I am again ... do I need a therapist? lol It's teen team time and I'm so excited! This will be the 4th year for the team and every year it gets bigger and better! Favorite part of it all ... the confidence and new friends each kiddo leaves with. Read about all the details below.  what's included

Now it's time to tell me who you are!
As a boy mom and wife to Grizzly Adams, I am constantly surrounded by farts, carhartts and dirt on the daily ... however, recently I have been drawn to and have more of an appreciation for the softer more feminine things in life, One being the color PINK and VALENTINES DAY! (but only because of the pink involved, not the romance aspect). lol
A couple months ago when all the Valentine clothing starting coming out, I went a little overboard and bought all I could find. Anything with hearts, the color pink or red or anything foofoo fluffy made the cut... but since I'm not one to wear this cute stuff, I bought it for the studio and POOF! I thought, Imma do some Valentine sessions and not just for you but your pet too!
Brilliant I know, lol

I know I've been slacking at blogging but life has been so busy lately, which is great by the way!
One thing I love to do is photography, duhh but modeling photography is always fun. Not only do I get to work with well versed models but it makes for beautiful images because them knowing what they are doing makes my life so much easier and makes room for lots of pictures.

What I love most about photography is the ability to go back months or even years and relook at images. My talent has grown so it's nice to be able to pull out some older faves for a new touch.
Enjoy some of my recents!
