general faq’s
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED, AND DO YOU TRAVEL?
I'm located in the River Market of Kansas City, Missouri. Though I cover primarily all of the Midwest — Missouri, Kansas, North Carolina and South Carolina as my focused areas — you can bet your butt I’ll travel just about anywhere for two things — great love, and great light!!

Yes, I sure am!
DO YOU HAVE OTHER VENDORS YOU LOVE TO WORK WITH?
Yeah absolutely! I’m happy to make recommendations for you!
WHO DESIGNED YOUR WEBSITE, AND WHO HOSTS IT?
Design wise, that was me — and I’m not going to lie to you, it took a while and was not the most fun thing I’ve ever done. Though admittedly, I did learn a lot about coding, and that was neat!! My opinion though, is stick to your strengths — don’t be like me, ha. Hosting wise, I use Squarespace, and I am very happy with it!!
photography-related faq’s
HOW MANY WEDDING COLLECTIONS DO YOU OFFER?
There are different packages based on the location of your wedding, along with special pricing for those smaller, more intimate weddings, and elopements! I’m open and willing to shoot it all!
DO YOU WORK FROM A SHOT LIST?
I pride myself on being a wedding photographer who documents real moments — in the moment. Working from a shot list is a guarantee that while I'm busy consulting a shot-list, real moments will be missed. We work together to create a list for your family portraits only, but outside of that, let’s just document your day naturally!
WHAT’S IN YOUR BAG?
1 Canon R6 Mark ii, 1 Canon Mark iii, 2 Canon 6D camera bodies, Canon 35mm 1.4L, Canon 50mm 1.2L (my fave!), Canon 85mm 1.4L, Canon 100mm 2.8L, Canon 135mm 2.0L, 3 Yongnuo Wireless Speedlights (for Canon), tons of memory cards (I prefer Sandisk Extreme Pro), 7 Canon rechargeable camera batteries, and tons o’ AA Batteries for flash (I love Eneloop Pro!). See my full list with direct links here!
CAN I HAVE OR SEE THE RAW OR UNEDITED FILES?
It is part of my job to sort through and pick the very best of the best with your images! Any images that don't make the final cut are not edited, saved, or delivered. At no time are those, or any RAW files available for viewing!
WHEN WILL WE GET TO SEE OUR PHOTOS?
For all sessions and weddings alike, I utilize social media like Facebook and Instagram to post sneak peeks soon after our time together! Final image collections are delivered in approximately 6-8 weeks or less for weddings, and in approximately 3 weeks or less for your engagement or anniversary session!
HOW DO I RESERVE YOU FOR A SHOOT AND/OR A WEDDING?
Weddings and elopements require a signed contract and a paid retainer to reserve your date and my services! For portrait sessions of any type, a signed contract is needed, but that can be brought along with your payment to your session instead of taking care of it beforehand!
ARE YOU A LGBTQ+ FRIENDLY BUSINESS?
100% YES. Love is love.
