Hi! I'm Dynae
Your Confidence Boosting Southwest, MO Photographer
Hey guys! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you for being here! It's been my dream since I was a kid to own my own business and become a photographer. And as a high achieving Enneagram 3w4... you know I'd be making it happen!
Professionally, I actually went to school for graphic design & have a Bachelors degree in Fine Art, as well as a background in marketing + branding, so I have a unique take on how to make clients stand out and feel confident + empowered. My style is bold and modern, but I still want you to feel & look like YOU. Just the rockstar version of you ;) The ultimate compliment I get, is when I hear a client go "Wow, I look awesome!" Because you totally are!
I actually geek out a bit when it comes to psychology and getting to know people, so my biggest goal is to make my clients feel comfortable and confident in themselves. I know it can be scary for some to get their photos done, so I try to make it as easy going and fun as possible, and that starts with getting to know you! So contact me for a free consult, I'd love to get to know you, and how we can make your session the best experience ever!
As a Mom, I'm also really passionate about helping women, particularly entrepreneurial moms create a life of purpose + passion on their own terms. I know the beautiful mess of motherhood all too well. My blog as well as our Podcast Happily Ever Laughter, focuses on the unique challenges of raising kids AND a business with humor, heart, and real life.

What is up everybody! Dynae told me I had to come here and tell you a little bit about myself...
While I help on sessions and am the behind the scenes guy around here, I'm also a full time professional entertainer, comedian, and musician with my traveling comedy show Buckets N Boards. My buddy Gareth and I have been lucky enough to travel the world performing and over the last 10 years, even becoming one of the top requested headlining acts for Disney Cruise Line. Making people happy is why I feel like I was put on earth!
I also just started dipping my toes into the world of Voice Over acting, which is SUPER FUN and has been a great creative outlet for me. In a world..... duh duh duh!!!
Because of these experiences as an entertainer, and doing video + editing with my own business, we felt it was natural to bring my talents into Dynae's business as well. I've been assisting on sessions for years, and it's been awesome to get to work with her in so many creative ways.
one of my favorite parts Of my job is getting to be a goof ball, connecting with clients and making them laugh. We have 3 kids of our own and know how crazy stressful sessions can be! So making people comfortable and laughing (especially the kids) is my forte. We aim to make sessions as stress free and fun as possible!

My Style
My portrait style is clean, bold & modern. I love to connect with our clients early in the process, and get to know them on a personal level because when you're comfortable with your photographer, it's so much easier to be yourself. And when you feel comfortable in your own skin, your most confident self shines through.
BOLD, Clean & Modern Portraits. Making YOU the Art.
My favorite part of being in the VIP Program was the growth that came from it. I've grown to not only just accept myself, but to love myself and be confident in myself. I'm really thankful for this experience helping me do that.
