Liberty MO Senior Photographer
I’m here to find out what makes you “you,” help you relax in front of my camera, and to work with you to create a genuine collection of photos that you can be proud to share with your family and friends.

When you book me for your senior photos, I'll do everything I can to help you relax and be you. You’ll fill out my “quiz” to share a little about you and your life, your likes and dislikes, passions, hobbies and future plans, and a snapshot of your life, and I’ll study it. Together, we’ll choose the perfect location, and you have full access to all my knowledge about attire, props, and more.
Kansas City Senior Photographer
You need a photographer who puts you at ease…and will tell you where to put your hands.
I’ll give you specific direction to ensure we capture the most flattering photos possible. I’ll tell you how to stand, where to put your hands, and even give you prompts to elicit real smiles and laughs. Trust me, I don’t want fake smiles in your photos any more than you do.

Senior Portraits Kansas City
You need a senior photographer who will give you freedom to have fun.
Your senior photos should be fun! Yes, there are some shots we “have” to get for your parents and family, but I work hard to make sure you have an enjoyable time, too.
In my opinion, there’s nothing worse than “getting through” your senior photos. Ugh. May it never be! I promise that if you open up and engage with me, you will enjoy your senior photo session - and that will translate directly to your photos.
