Christy's Story

 

Growing up in Manhattan, KS, I was fascinated by the world of photography, thanks to my father.  He was a hobbyist photographer and I was his little assistant in the darkroom.  My journey continued through my local 4-H group, where my dad served as an instructor, deepening my love and skill for photography. 

​

Life soon took me on a different path into the corporate world, but my heart always yearned for photography.  It was on a honeymoon in Africa that ignited the spark once again.  Armed with a shiny new camera I bought for the trip, I took the leap of faith and founded my own photography business (I had to pay off that new camera somehow!).  I knew if I could do this full time, that I would be a "happy chick".  That was in 2004 and since then, I've been following my passion ever since!  

 

When I'm not behind the lens, I love spending time with my husband, enjoying live music around Kansas City, and embracing the wonders of nature.  Recently, I even discovered the world of beekeeping (again from my father) and even though it comes with a few stings, the awe I have for these special creatures outweighs the occasional "ouch."

 

The beauty of my work lies in the heartfelt connections I create with families like yours.  From tender moments shared between parents and children to the love among siblings, every portrait tells a unique story.  Life's most precious memories deserve to be preserved, and I consider it an honor to capture these moments, leaving you with treasured images that will forever hold the essence of your family's love and joy.
