I never felt like I could express myself until I found photography. Just ask my mom what a pissed off 5-year-old looks like when she can’t accurately draw what she sees!
I filled endless sketchbooks with drawings, trying to portray the world I saw and interpreted with my naked eye. It wasn’t until middle school when I first picked up a dinky lil point and shoot camera that I never put down. I FINALLY had a way of showing and sharing with others the moments and beauty I saw in the world!
One of my all-time favorite quotes is from photographer Dorothea Lange and states, “the camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”
in fact, the most valuable moments happen in the in-between.
What I hand to my couples aren’t photos that you can find on any Pinterest board, these photos can’t be pre-planned or forced, but focus on preserving the moments you wouldn’t even know you’ve missed.

Things picked up when I was a senior in high school and saved all my money working at Chick-Fil-A to buy my first camera. That fall I focused on taking senior portraits and did my first engagement session.
After building my portfolio with tons of couples sessions, I booked my first wedding as the lead photographer.
Graduated with a degree in marketing + photography and accepted my first big kid job managing the marketing department for a small healthcare company (and used all my PTO to continue shooting weddings on the side!)
Met my husband at a wedding I was photographing on 8/17/18 at a venue here in Wichita that's now known as The Winslet.
We got married a year to the day later on 8/17/19 at the Barn at Grace Hill. And yes that does mean that I share an anniversary with one of my past brides!
Went full time with weddings and have captured 100+ since.
and we're still going strong

If I could describe Alex in 3 words, it would be genuine, top tier, and a photography expert! I’d pay any amount of money to have this girl as my wedding photographer. From the moment you meet her, you feel like you know her! She is so incredibly warm and welcoming. My fiancé met Alex at our engagement session, and by the time we left he was over the moon that she is the one who will capture our big day. My fiancé isn’t a fan of taking photos but Alex was able to ease his nerves and get some of the most candid photos I’ve ever seen of him.
I don’t feel like I hired a random person to spend my wedding day with to capture our special moment. I feel like I hired a genuine friend who cares about capturing our day as much as we do.

"I just got done looking through our wedding photos and I am sobbing. Thank you so, so much for capturing our day so beautifully and perfectly. I know I will be back there anytime I look at these pictures. For real, you're the best and your work is out of this world."
