The days are long...but the years fly by. Every moment, every event can be taken for granted. But you want more than that, for yourself and for your family. You understand what memories you may be missing out on.

 A living archive 

life 

Of your

Intentionally curated for meaningful, cohesive, and enduring artwork and films designed to be held, displayed, and passed down. These are pieces meant to live on walls, rest in albums, and be returned to long after the moment has passed. 

This work begins long before the cameras are raised. 
Families invite me into sacred spaces; birth rooms, living rooms, whispered vows, and work built with care. 

My role is not to direct your life - but to witness it faithfully. 

Honey Works Photo + Film is based in Kansas City and serves families, couples, and brands locally and worldwide. 

Commissions are intentionally limited each year to protect depth, care, and presence in every experience. 

Full- length documentary experiences as life unfolds for those who believe their lives, marriages, and work are worth slowing down for. 

Because life is happening -  quietly, wildly, honestly.

What I Do

For those who value art, storytelling, and legacy. 

I believe your story matters, the legacy you are creating with the ones you value the most.

Starting over 10 years ago, trying to document every day life with my kids, has now transitioned into providing that same thing for others. Leaving each family, each couple with a true representation of their beautiful life. 

My heart has always been in telling the stories of others as authentically as possible. What it means to live life to the fullest, being present, intentional, and deeply understood.

Honey Works experience

This isn't about posing for the camera...this is about creating space for your life to unfold... naturally, intentionally, truthfully. Offering full-length documentary experiences designed to step into the heart of your life, your family, your work, and your legacy. Each commission is highly curated, deeply involved, intentionally guided, and documented with honesty. And at the end of our time together, you will have memories to step back into, heirlooms to hold and pass onto. 

- Psalm 118:24
This is the day the lord has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
