Documentary photography for people who care more about how it felt than how it looked.
Preserving honest, emotive moments for weddings and families.
Photography as memory, not performance.
You don’t need perfectly posed photos.
You need honest ones.
The way your partner squeezed your hand during the vows.
The way your child curls into your chest at the end of the day.
The people. The relationships. The quiet moments you didn’t realize mattered.
I document life as it unfolds, with intention, artistry, and heart.
So years from now, you don’t just remember what it looked like.
You remember what it felt like.
Two seasons of life. One storytelling approach.
Families:
For parents who value art, connection, and preserving childhood honestly.
Documentary family photography that captures your real rhythms, relationships, and everyday magic.
Weddings:
For people-loving couples who value their guests’ experience over perfection.
A documentary approach to wedding photography that prioritizes connection, emotion, and real moments — not staged performances.
Meet Jamie
I've spent nearly a decade learning how to disappear.
Since 2016, I've built my career on being trusted with people's most intimate moments—the ones that can't be staged or repeated. What began as documenting the unfiltered beauty of family life has evolved into my true calling: preserving wedding days exactly as they unfold.
I don't direct. I don't interrupt. I observe, anticipate, and capture the moments that make your story yours. Based in Manhattan, Kansas, I work primarily with couples throughout Kansas City who are planning weddings that prioritize authenticity over perfection.
What does “documentary” actually mean?
No forced posing
No fake moments
No content creation pressure
Just real life, beautifully observed
Whether it’s your wedding day or a slow Sunday at home, I step in quietly and document what’s already there — so your story stays true to you.
Your story deserves more than a digital folder.
Your photographs are designed to live beyond your screen.
Every experience includes custom-designed heirloom albums and museum-quality framed prints — because these moments deserve to be held, displayed, and passed down.
This is photography as legacy, not content.
Let’s tell your story.
