Back in 2017, I picked up a camera and fell head over heels for photography. What started as a hobby quickly became my calling - there's nothing like seeing a family's joy or new mom's glow through my lens. Over the Years, I've built OneShot Photography into a thriving studio in Branson, MO, specializing in outdoor family sessions, studio maternity portraits, and delicate Newborn shoots. Every session fuels my creativity, and I'm obsessed with helping new photographers like you discover that same spark. My Mission? To make learning fun, approachable, and inspiring, so you can chase your photography dreams with confidence!

My objective is to ignite the spark in beginner photographers through 1-2 transformative yearly retreats and personalized outdoor family 1-on-1 sessions. I aim to inspire confidence, hone skills, and fuel creativity, guiding you to a vibrant photography career with passion and purpose.
