Kansas City Wedding and Portrait Photographer


I’m a Kansas City photographer drawn to heartfelt emotion, genuine connection, and creating images that feel like art. I love working with scenes that feel timeless, warm, and beautifully intentional. I photograph love stories, growing families, and meaningful milestones throughout Kansas City and inside my Waldo studio, Linear Bloom Studio. My work blends romantic softness with a modern, editorial touch that keeps every session feeling effortless, comfortable, and elevated from start to finish.


The heart behind the work

I’m a mom to Huxton and Olive, and a wife to Logan. They are the heartbeat behind everything I create. When I’m not photographing families or couples, you can usually find me at my Waldo studio, caring for my plants, or soaking in the simple moments that inspire my work. My own family reminds me how quickly seasons change, which is why I feel so honored to photograph the families who trust me to capture their memories year after year.

Linear Bloom Studio


I am also the owner of Linear Bloom Studio, a natural light creative space in the heart of Waldo - Kansas City. It is where I photograph newborns, families, branding sessions, and the meaningful chapters in between. The studio is warm, clean, and thoughtfully styled with curated backdrops, inviting textures, and a modern yet timeless aesthetic. I also rent the studio to other photographers and creatives who want a beautiful, flexible space to bring their own vision to life. It is a place designed to feel inspiring, effortless, and welcoming for every person who walks through the door.

Studio Wedding Portraits


Linear Bloom Studio is one of my favorite spaces for elevated wedding portraits. The soft, neutral tones and clean architectural lines create an elegant canvas that highlights each meaningful detail. Whether you want timeless veil portraits, modern editorial images, romantic couple’s moments, or refined fashion-inspired shots, the studio gives us the perfect setting to create artwork that feels personal and beautifully intentional. It is a calm, private space where every couple is celebrated and welcomed, and where love in all its forms is honored with warmth and intention.
