About Me

Meet Chris

Hey there! I'm Chris, and I’m here to help you capture the moments that matter most.

As a dad and grandpa, I get it—life moves fast, and between school drop-offs, sports practices, and everything in between, it can be easy to miss the magic in the everyday. That’s why I’m passionate about photography, which isn’t just about pictures; it’s about preserving the fleeting moments of family that often go unnoticed.

Though I wasn’t born in Missouri, this is where I’ve built my life with my incredible wife of over 22 years. We’ve raised five kids and now have the joy of chasing after eight grandkids! So trust me when I say I know the wonderful chaos that comes with family life—whether it’s the energy of a full house or the quiet moments of connection.

Why photography? Because I believe in giving your family the chance to see the beauty in your story. We all get caught up in the whirlwind of everyday life, and sometimes, it’s hard to slow down and appreciate the little moments. But those are the ones that matter the most. I want to help you freeze those smiles, giggles, and hugs in time—so when the kids grow up, you’ll have those memories to look back on.

My goal is to make your photography experience stress-free and fun. I get it—family photos can feel overwhelming. But my sessions are all about capturing your family as they truly are—full of life, love, and laughter. I want to show the real you and the connections that make your family special. Whether we’re chasing golden light outdoors or catching the playful chaos at home, my approach is laid-back, and I promise to make it a good time for everyone, including the kiddos!

More than just photos, I’m here to make real connections—to understand what’s important to you and capture those moments you’ll cherish forever. As a lifestyle family photographer based near Columbia, Missouri, I love working with families who want to hold onto the genuine, unfiltered moments that make life such an incredible journey. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed family shoot or need someone to capture the candid energy of your kid’s sports game, I’m your guy!

Let’s face it—time flies, and kids grow up so fast. Let’s work together to create beautiful memories that you’ll treasure for a lifetime. I can’t wait to meet you and your family!
