About Me

A small town girl from the start, I lived in a few different rural communities growing up.  Greensburg, KS ended up being "home" (and always will be!).  Photography was always in the back of my mind, I just enjoyed taking photos. However, I didn't think it could lead to a career; I didn't really get into it until college.  

I ended up at Friends University in Wichita my sophomore year and joined their Studio Art program with a Photography emphasis.  I learned SO much at Friends, from drastically improving my photography, to organizing and running art shows.  I graduated in 2013 after completing an internship with the Wichita Thunder taking photos for their hockey games.  

My husband Michael and I got married in 2013 and moved to Moundridge, KS about two weeks after our wedding.  We love this community and our church!  In 2018 we welcomed a new baby boy to our family, and our second boy is due October 2019! 

Additional Schooling
I have taken other photography classes outside of college with the Kansas Professional Photographers Association hosted by Bethel College.  These classes had a HUGE effect on my photography; I've taken studio and outdoor portraiture, lighting fundamentals, and advanced photoshop classes through KPPA. 

I have also done a thorough online retreat for newborn and maternity photography through "The Milky Way," a resource for photographers that creates classes for specific parts of photography like lighting, posing, safety, and more.

Experience
After shooting for over ten years, I have learned so much and feel my skills improve more with every shoot. I'm always learning, always growing, and I'll never stop getting better.  I've shot a little for newspapers, won contests, and done countless shoots for seniors, couples, families, little ones, and events.  This is a passion of mine, and I love helping people make memories they can keep forever.
