Senior Photos in Springfield, MO | Chariot's Session

10/13/2025

Chariot's senior session at the park was the perfect combination of subject, location, season, and weather and everything lined up just perfectly. Senior Photos have become an absolute favorite of mine over the last few years. I love what each teenager brings to the shoot whether that's ideas, outfits, locations, or just their openness to being photographed and collaborating to create something they and their loved ones can look back on fondly for decades to come!

99x 2025 Event Photography | Springfield Art Museum

10/13/2025

If you've never been to the Springfield Art Museum's 99x Party, you are seriously missing you. This annual event is always a highlight of my year. 

About the event, from the Springfield Art Museum:
"99x is the Springfield Art Museum’s signature fundraising event, combining art, fashion, music, and spectacle into one unforgettable evening. Each year, the theme draws inspiration from a piece in the Museum’s 10,000-piece permanent collection—reimagining it through living art installations, bold creative design, and immersive experiences. All proceeds benefit the Museum’s exhibitions, educational programs, and community outreach efforts."

This year's theme was inspired by George Tooker’s Un Ballo in Maschera and the bold spirit of the 1920s. It just so happens the the 1920's have been a muse of mine for a long time, and this year's 99x has been my favorite! Since the museum is closed for exciting renovations  and expansions, the event was held at The Shrine Mosque which perfectly suited the theme. A life band, bustling casino, and the flagship artist tableau's (of which I was honored to be asked to create one again - more on that in a bit) and fashion show, all combined to create an unforgettable night!

Here are some of my favorite photos I captured that night (full album available on Springfield Art Museum's Facebook Album):

As mentioned above, I was honored to be asked back to create another artist tableau. My inspiration was a lesbian bar in Paris in the 1920's called Le Monocle + Salvador Dali (played by Jonathan Stratman) and the photo Philippe Halsman took of him with a chair and black cat suspended in air. Since I was photographing the 99x Event, Nikki Jordan photographed guests in my tableau with lighting assistance by Randa Jordan. All photos edited by me. Here are some of my favorites from my tableau:

Brady's Mom reached out to me looking for senior pictures in Springfield, MO for her son. I had shot her daughter Jane's senior pictures a few years back and was delighted to capture another member of their family. 

For Brady's session we talked through what kind of things he likes and some options for locations. We settled on one look at Lake Springfield, and did two urban/downtown looks. Which look is your favorite?

Senior Photos Springfield MO | Sydney's Portrait Session

This past weekend I shot senior photos in Springfield, MO for Sydney at Nathanial Greene. What I love about that park is that every season it's like a completely different park as the landscape shifts through the seasons. There are also tons of places to take pictures there. Sydney choose a 3 look photoshoot and wanted them all shot at the park. The park was in full bloom and an excellent background for her.
