Hi, I'm Aubrey!
I’m Aubrey, a documentary wedding, family, and portrait photographer in Kansas City!
I serve couples and families across Kansas City and the greater Kansas City metro and beyond who want their photos to feel natural, warm, and true to real life.​
I photograph weddings, engagement sessions, and family sessions for people who care more about connection than perfection and who want their lives remembered exactly as they felt.​
Not stiffer, louder, or trendier.​
Just real.
Documentary Wedding & Family Photography in Kansas City
I specialize in documentary-style photography for weddings and families. That means I focus on real moments as they unfold rather than overly posed or staged images.
​
From wedding days filled with emotion and movement to family sessions full of laughter, chaos, and quiet connection, my goal is always the same: to tell your story honestly.
​
If you’re looking for a Kansas City wedding photographer or Kansas City family photographer who values authenticity, presence, and storytelling, you’re in the right place.
What I Believe About Photography
I believe the most meaningful moments don’t happen on command.
​
They happen in the in-between - when you’re laughing without realizing it, when your kid reaches for your hand, when your partner squeezes your fingers during the ceremony. Those are the moments that deserve to be remembered, exactly as they are.
You don’t need to perform. You don’t need to be “photogenic.” You don’t need a perfectly curated wedding day or family session.
​
You just need to show up as yourself.
My Approach: Calm, Natural, and People-First
My approach to photography is calm, observant, and connection-first.
As your photographer, I’ll guide you when it’s helpful, step back when it’s not, and my aim is always to create space for things to unfold naturally.
​
When you work with me, I want you to:
​
-
Feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera
-
Stay present instead of worrying about how things look
-
Walk away with images that feel timeless, warm, and honest
Think less posing, more living. I'm just there to capture it!
Who I Work Best With
I work best with couples and families who value connection over perfection.
Couples who actually like each other. Parents who embrace the chaos.
Families who don’t mind movement, noise, or mess if it means the moments are real.
​
If you’re searching for natural family photos in Kansas City or a wedding photographer who captures real moments, we’ll probably be a great fit.
Why This Work Matters to Me
Life moves fast. Seasons change quietly. I often find myself fully immersed in enjoying moments with friends, already starting to miss the moment before it's even over!
​
Photography is my way of slowing things down. Of preserving the feeling of a season before it slips by. Whether it’s your wedding day or a regular Tuesday with your kids, those moments matter.
​
My goal isn’t just to give you beautiful images. It’s to give you photographs that bring you right back to how it felt to be there.
A Little More About Me
I’ve been a professional photographer for over a decade, capturing weddings, families, and real-life moments with the aim of doing so with care and intention.
​
Outside of photography, I love creativity in all forms, music, meaningful conversations, faith, and community. These things shape how I see people and how I tell stories through photographs. I believe every person has value and worth and I really do thrive on discovering the beauty in those around me.
​
When we work together, you don’t just get a photographer, you get someone who is genuinely invested in documenting your story with excellence, warmth, and heart.
