  • Who we are:

    We love creative clients. When our vision for great work meets people that want something modern and stylish, the photos are just simply great. Our approach to natural light photography is with the ease of a photo journalistic style. We document the sunny afternoon wedding spent with family and great friends, and the crisp, colorful day the family gets together for that fall family session. But let's get real, documentation isn't the only thing your looking for, right? As art lovers, we focus on your style, beauty, funny laugh, shyness...Whoever you are, your portfolio will be stunning...

    We also believe in a simple, straightforward approach to the business side of booking a photographer. We offer flat fee sessions that always include all of your high-resolution files and the rights to print them. Simplicity at its best...

    Wanna talk about your big day? Or schedule a family shoot for the holidays? Email or call us, we can't wait to meet you...

Birds and Bridal…

Jessica has been so much fun to shoot with this past year.  Her wedding was in January, so we decided to do a bridal session a month before.  Her dress and details were stunning, and for an added element, we brought doves!  They added such a sweet little touch to the shoot.  We even got to release some outside that day! Once they fly from the cage, the go straight home.  Its pretty fascinating to think about what these birds are capable of.  Faye with Covenant Doves ( 417.861.5787) is a delight to work with and has created a unique, local idea for  brides, charity events, and photographers!

Simple. Baby. Belly.

Ohhh, I am loving the baby bellies this year in our new studio.  The light is natural and diffused, making hot little mama even more beautiful!  Baby Gavin will be here so soon, maybe even before the end of the month.  He couldn’t have sweeter, nicer, laid back parents than these two.  The simplicity of her dress and the softness of the fabric show just how cute the baby belly can be!

Party flavor idea…

I am a brain-stormer.  I love to think up new ways to do things, smart ideas on how thing should run, and cool ways to reach new clients.  I noticed at wedding shows, as a vendor, I was being looked over.  I get embarrassed for the vendors that jump in front of a new bride and all but lick her face off with nice, shallow compliments just so they can coax their new prey into their den, uh- I mean booth.  However, there are many vendors that are HUGELY popular, all the while making no attempt at all to engage passing guests.  Can you guess which ones they were? The wedding cake and catering booths! They have something universal, something for the guest to try, a little nibble there may get their business later.  Don’t get me wrong, they have minimal engagement because they are working like a mad man cutting, serving, and answering questions from their new fans…

I stumbled across these and knew they were perfect for my potential clients. Who doesn’t like fortune cookies?!? These vibrant, cute, individually wrapped cookies can be custom made for whatever reason- upcoming Valentines day dinners, birthday parties, wedding favors, or just because.  Within each order you can pick the colors, flavors, and up to fives different messages.  For us, putting a sweet little sayin’, our website and phone number worked perfectly to engage clients and let them know we are a different, unique studio.  (Interesting fact: most men asked specifically for the royal blue cookies, while most of the women didn’t prefer one color over another)

Beau-coup is a wonderful company with real people to help you! They ship fast and fill orders exactly as you have specified.  The possibilities are endless… http://www.beau-coup.com/

Sprakling wedding goodness…

Probably the most fantastic wedding day for us…Jessica and Michael’s details were all sparkles, even down to Jessica’s rhinestone shoes she “stoned” herself!  The day went perfectly, ending with an amazing reception at the University Plaza- it was a visual delight. The wonderful wedding coordinator Stephanie Weiss with Ella Weiss Wedding Design was there making sure the day ran smoothly, while Brandon Goodwin was filming the entire day in the beautiful signature style everyone absolutely loves. Here are a few peeks to oogle over while we work the rest of our magic…
