Our collections reflect a desire to have custom, quality product that can be passed down for generations. Artistic Photography takes time to discuss your portrait needs.

Our knowledge can help you choose between canvas, framed, or metal and know what sizes and groupings will look best in your personal space.

There’s a difference between taking senior pictures and creating senior portraits that actually mean something.

Beyond the Template is a 4-day, start-to-finish class built around one goal: help you create modern senior work with identity, edge, and emotional honesty—not cookie-cutter trends.

We walk through the full process together:
Consultation → concept → wardrobe/location plan → scouting → shooting → editing → presentation and sale.

KPPS | Wichita Marriott
May 31 – June 3, 2026
Early registration through May 16: $495 (Late: $595)

I am seeking a Class of 2027 senior to model for me during an exclusive teaching event in Wichita, Kansas.

This senior will be part of a live, hands-on educational experience, allowing students to observe the full portrait process from consultation through sales. The consultation will take place in the classroom and will guide the planning of locations, styling, and the overall vision for the session. The senior will then be photographed as part of the live instruction, and the final images will be presented during a live sales session in the classroom as well.

As a thank you for participating, there will be no session fee, and the selected senior will receive 50% off their final order. This is a special opportunity for someone who is comfortable in an educational setting and would love a truly unique senior portrait experience.

*Parent is required to attend *

A personal note to my current and future clients...

There was a pause this last year.
Not because I lost my love for what I do…
but because life asked something different of me.

I stepped away from my camera to care for my grandpa in the final months of his life.

It was heavy. It was sacred. It changed me.
When you sit beside someone you love as time slows down…
you begin to understand what really matters.

Connection and relationship have always mattered deeply to me in my work. This season of life has only made that even more clear.

In a world of AI, highlight reels, and the constant pressure to become like everyone else, I want to create something different with you. Something real. Something intentional. Something uniquely yours.

I’m still here, and I’m stepping back in with more clarity than ever about the work I’m meant to do.

I’m now booking a limited number of summer and fall sessions at home in Springfield, Missouri and surrounding areas, along with select travel dates and a 2027 senior model opportunity.

Two weeks.

That’s it.

In just two weeks, I’ll be in Richmond, Virginia and I’m bringing something far more valuable than perfection.

I’m bringing TRUTH.

Join me, and we will chat about how to fail your way to success. How to take the shots that don’t work. How to push past the awkward. How to survive the moments when you think “ you’re not good enough”.

Because here’s the secret no one posts about:

You have to be willing to suck before you soar.

The magic isn’t in getting it right the first time. The magic is in having the courage to try, adjust, refine, and try again. Every powerful image you admire? It stands on top of a pile of experiments that didn’t quite land.

We’re going to talk about risk.
We’re going to talk about creative guts.
And yes we’re going to talk about how getting it all wrong can actually look pretty incredible when it’s honest, bold and you learn and grow.

Meet me in Richmond and come fail forward with me.
