Simply Splendid Images

Some scenes don’t need color to tell the story.
Spent a little time at the Missouri Botanical Garden recently, and honestly… these irises felt timeless in black and white. Soft light, delicate textures, and just enough movement to make them feel alive.

Color or monochrome, flowers always find a way to stop me in my tracks.

Spent some time at the Missouri Botanical Garden yesterday just to see the irises… and wow, they did not disappoint.
Sometimes you just need to slow down and let the beauty do its thing.

Twirling into the new year like… why not?
Life doesn’t have to be loud to be beautiful. Sometimes it’s soft, flowing, and exactly enough.

This week’s 52 Frames challenge was a self-portrait. It is a reminder that growth often asks us to step just beyond what feels comfortable. Instead of overthinking it, I chose movement, grace, and a little joy.

Here’s to living fine, finding balance, and allowing ourselves the freedom to become — one gentle twirl at a time.

This cute little house went on the market last week, and I had the chance to photograph it beforehand.

I don’t shoot a ton of real estate, but every once in a while a home comes along that’s just really fun to capture — great light, thoughtful updates, and a cozy, welcoming feel throughout. This one definitely fit the bill.

This flip came together thanks to Mindy Kimler, who put in a lot of hard work and care to bring it all to life. The design was done by Victoria at Inspired House, beautiful style and attention to detail that really made the space shine.

Grateful for the opportunity and always happy to help a space show off its best side when the moment is right.
