Welcome, I am so glad you’re here! I was born in Maryland, raised in Branson, Missouri, and now call Springfield home. I’m married to my best friend, Bryce! We tied the knot in my parents’ backyard, right where I grew up, which made the day incredibly meaningful and full of joy. You might even see Bryce at your wedding; he’s one of my trusted second photographers and a vital part of my team.
Before photography, I was on a path to become a trauma surgeon. I spent years working in the medical field, both in the emergency department and operating room. I loved the work, but I felt God calling me to full-time ministry. Going into my senior year of college, I changed my major, I left the medical field, and said yes to God. After being an intern at my church, I fell in love with people and the Lord’s love for people. After months of praying and waiting for God to open up a door to ministry, I stumbled upon a cheap camera on Facebook in August of 2022. Intrigued, I bought it, not knowing anything about photography. I began teaching myself and very quickly (and unexpectedly) grew. What started as a curiosity quickly became a passion. Within four months, I quit my 9-5, went full-time in wedding photography, and never looked back. But this isn’t just a job; it’s the ministry God was calling me to all along.
I believe ministry isn’t a vocation confined to a church building; it’s found in the everyday moments of life - how we love and serve others. Every couple, every family, every session is an opportunity to reflect the heart of God. He delights in people, in their love, their joy, and even sympathizes in their weakness and struggles. Through photography, I get to participate in that - bearing witness to His work in their lives, reminding them of their value, and serving them with care, intention, and prayer. I do this because I love people deeply, and I see them as the Lord sees a sunset or a majestic mountain: full of beauty, design, and intention. My goal is to help them see that same beauty within themselves. I want to love people well, to glorify Him, and to honor the sacred moments He has designed in their lives. This business is simply a vessel - a way for me to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
Bryce and I love hosting game nights, going to the movies, attending concerts, trying new restaurants, and saying yes to spontaneous adventures whenever we can but more than anything, we love spending time with our two mini Aussies, Moose and Nova. I love coffee… but I literally never finish it because I’m a sipper, not a chugger, and I hate watered-down drinks. If someone says they want to go on a trip, I’ll have it planned in approximately fifteen minutes. I don’t do year-long hobbies; my hobbies are seasonal.. if the vibe isn’t right, I won’t do it. Biggest fear? Whales. I will not be capturing your elopement on a boat if we’re whale watching. I’d be closing my eyes and crying. I’m all about adventures and having fun (apart from whales), turning clients into friends, and creating moments that feel real, relaxed, and full of laughter.

An associate photographer is a skilled and trusted professional who steps in to photograph your wedding if I am already booked on your date. Both associates have their own photography business and have undergone collaboration and training with me to ensure they meet the high standards of my brand (and trust me, I have very high expectations). Both of my associates actually photographed my own wedding, which shows just how much I trust them to capture moments exactly as I would. They know how I shoot and what to look for, ensuring your day is documented beautifully. I personally edit every photo, so your gallery will look consistent with my work. By choosing an associate photographer, you can be confident you’ll receive stunning, high-quality images that capture the essence of your special day.
HEY FRIENDS! My name is Hannah + I am your personal hype gal. I am from Tulsa, OK; it’s not as cool as it sounds but I will admit, I do love it here. I am a full time wedding photographer and photography studio owner, + I would not change a thing! A few fun facts about me: I have the best little family with my husband and our two German shepherds. My husband and my best friend are both named Sam (girl Sam + boy Sam). And last but not least, I am a black belt in taekwondo (watch out). On a more serious note, God has truly blessed me with this little business I have and I’m grateful I get to share the love of Christ while doing it. I’m over the moon and so thankful I am where I am today. With that being said, let's be friends !!!!
HI FRIENDS! I’m Zoe and I’m from Springfield, MO! A little bit about me - I got married a year ago to my best friend! I’m a soda lover, dinner and a movie enthusiast, and behind the camera I am all about capturing joyful, authentic, real-life moments that people will treasure forever. Faith is the foundation of everything I do. I’m so grateful God has blessed me with this business, and I strive to honor Him in every frame. I love to laugh, have fun, and make people feel seen and celebrated. I can’t wait to meet you
Yes! I understand that it is important to know who you will be collaborating with, so I will set up either an in-person meeting or a phone call where you can meet them. During this meeting, you will be able to express any wants or needs for the wedding day and ask them any questions.
The associate team’s only responsibility is to show up to your wedding and take the photos. They are my hands and feet on the day of your wedding. I handle all the communication, planning, editing, etc.
Absolutely. I have personally worked with both of them (they both photographed my wedding!) and can confidently send them to photograph any wedding at a moment's notice. They know how I shoot and what I look for. I do not take having an associate team lightly. I know it can be scary having someone else at your wedding that you didn't hire. Rest assured that you are in good hands, and they will take amazing care of you.
