Taylor and Evan's KC Elopement

Taylor and Evan wanted an intimate affair for their wedding day, so they chose to elope at the Silver Heart Inn in Independence, Missouri.

They were married inside a charming gazebo on the grounds of the inn. It was a beautiful day; the sun shone brightly as they exchanged handwritten vows among the trees and lush greenery.

Thank you for including me in your day, Taylor and Evan! It was so sweet and beautiful, just like you!

Dawn Higgins | Kansas City Photographer and Creative Powerhouse

A little while ago, I was lucky enough to take branding portraits for Dawn Higgins, a local Kansas City photographer and creative. Dawn has been hugely influential to me in my own photography journey, and I know I’m not the only photographer who feels that way! Dawn is generous with her time, energy, and knowledge, and spreads positivity around through the Kansas City creative community. When it comes to photoshoots, she is daring and detail-oriented, making gorgeous and unique sets in her studio.
