Because every journey to motherhood tells a story and yours is worth telling beautifully.

Kansas City luxury newborn, family & maternity photographer.

LET’S GET STARTED

Stories are a stunning thing. No two are alike and yet each one detailed with threads of beauty and pages of a journey that led every woman reading this to motherhood. 

Whether it's written with twins, unexpected or expected positive tests, whether it's your first pregnancy or your last…it's stunning because it's yours and life is stunning.

People are my heartbeat. Connection and creation breathe life to my soul. Beauty and organic moments are everywhere, just waiting to be seen & stopped.

If you're reading this, and haven't heard it in a while...your story is beautiful & I believe your photos should be too.

GET TO KNOW ME

Life is this incredible journey.
This journey made up of moments and stories and feelings and memories all intertwined to create this breathtaking experience you call your own. And what I've come to find is that the dreams you imagined would take place often have a way of surprising you.

I graduated with a graphic design degree but photography captured my heart. I thought I'd meet my husband at college but instead I spotted him at my sisters wedding. I never imagined...

Meet Lacey Rene.
