Think your pet can’t be photographed or you’re worried they’ll need to stay on leash? Removing leashes is something I offer standard with all photo sessions, even mini sessions. With 18 years’ experience I’ve literally seen it all! Rosy the pug had an evergreen mini session at Shawnee Mission Park in 20 degree windchill but […]

Born and raised in Kansas City all my life and what fun it’s been to be a Chiefs fan the past few years. We can’t wait for the Super Bowl this weekend! In honor of the exciting upcoming Super Bowl, I am offering DIGITAL football themed edits! Dress up your pet in their best football […]

Happy February! In the mood for love and some adorable photos? Well, look no further! I can digitally add your pet to various seasonal backgrounds. This is perfect for pets who are difficult to photograph professionally or are too anxious in a public setting. Please send a photo of your pet (sitting works best and […]

Happy Birthday to my first “baby”! I still remember bringing Remington home at 3 months old. I was in my late 20s, no clue how to care for any living creature and long before I had kids of my own. Every year I am a little more nostalgic and emotional about his birthday because I […]

I am so excited to see my work in print again! Modern Dog magazine, a national publication featured Going with Grace in their Summer 2021 issue. The issue will be in stores around June 8 and online shortly after. I’ve always felt called to focus on this particular service within my photography business. I’m so […]

I am SO thrilled to launch my redesigned website, dedicated to Going with Grace. My heart has pulled me in this direction for so many years.

I have a few weekend sessions left on Saturday, November 2 only. All sessions for the remainder of the year […]

Here we are for log #3!  I feel I am super close to the end – I went into labor at 38 weeks with my first, but I feel this time will be even sooner. This boy is running out of room (or womb!) for sure. Cravings: My red grapes craving has subsided and been […]

Many of you saw my recent post about Micalla Rettinger and how her life was tragically taken when a stray bullet shot through her car window on a highway near Waterloo. The family’s beloved dog Charlie (pictured in this photo) crossed the rainbow bridge to join Micalla yesterday.  It’s clear that Micalla needed Charlie with […]
