about your photographer

When someone entrusts us to be their photographer, it's a job we don't take lightly. I mean, we keep the session light, that's key to photographing real emotions, but we aim to make everything perfect for the outcome you are hoping to achieve.

During our session, expect to enjoy some laughs along the way. So many think of having their photo taken as serious, but I'm here to tell you, it's going to be tons of fun!

As a recent graduate – I'm looking forward to working with clients on a regular basis. I spent many years in college photographing friends, family and cattle to develop my skills behind the lens. There's nothing I love more than a good conversation, traveling around the country and a margarita with my best friends. Here's to building connections and capturing your best moments!

Why hire a professional?

hold your memories tight

No matter the stage in your life, you will think back to this moment, season and year, and sadly not remember all the beautiful details it entails.

Life's journey is funny. It's always changing. We find every excuse not to have our pictures taken, but the time is now! As your photographer, we want to pause this time, creating memories that you can hold tight to for decades to come. Really, it's that good.

Our professional photography team has spent years finding the perfect locations, poses, and lighting techniques that show off our clients naturally and beautifully. A cell phone photo just won't do in preserving memories for generations to come. Our photos of you are promised to be cherished.

Snapping a photo is easy, but directing clients and leading them confidently throughout their shoot is something entirely different. With your loved ones in front of our camera, we will help you relax and feel natural, capturing interactions and expressions in their real state.

We work with our photography clients to create a session they will be proud to show off days as well as years after we are finished photographing! Instead of following trends, we have worked hard to create a style of our own that is chic and timeless. No detail is left to chance.

Our goal is to be there every step of the way as we capture your story. From the initial consultation to handing over the final, printed pieces from your session, we will guide you through an experience that is memorable for years to come.

FOR THE PERFECT SESSION

WHAT TO BRING

In order to make the most of your time, it is helpful to have all of your outfits and accessories ready to go before the shoot! Make sure all clothes are ironed and neatly placed on hangers to give you more time in front of the camera.

EXPRESS YOURSELF

Don't be afraid to let loose and let your personality shine! If you have ideas or a specific theme you'd like to incorporate, let us know so we can help prepare as best as possible. We want to show off the qualities that make you unique!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Once we get to the first location, we'll take a few test shots to get you comfortable in front of the camera. If you bring along any props or accessories, we will take a little extra time to photograph these items as well.

POSING IDEAS

We will guide you through different poses that cater to your unique look. For more ideas, feel free to pick up a copy of your favorite fashion magazine!

Now that you have chosen your location, season, it's time to pick out your clothing! It's important to match the theme of your session and allow the focus to be on your loved ones, letting the clothing compliment your personalities. Be comfortable and confident in your selection. We suggest the women select their clothing first, then move onto the girls, and lastly, the boys and men.

SEASON

How do you visualize yourself in your session? Are you soaking up the summer sun or kicking snow into the air? Nailing down the season, will help finalize the look of the shoot. We suggest avoiding the coldest months, but don't rule out a beautiful winter day. During the heat of the summer, sessions will only be booked just before sunset, to keep you cool and capture those beautiful light glows.

Recently, the team added Faye where she lends a hand with additional photographic efforts.

Cassie is based out of Didsbury, Alberta, Jocelyn in Southwest Missouri and Faye in North central Kansas.

Above all, it's the group's passion for people that serves as the most rewarding part of being a photographer. Seeing the joy on their customers' faces as images are delivered is what keeps the photography team motivated.
