Bokeh Story Photos – Publications

Bokeh Story is the portrait studio I run alongside my design career, and its event photography has landed in print five times: full-spread fashion and runway coverage of the Adorn Style Show and Brunch in both North Magazine and HerLife Magazine across the 2015 and 2016 shows, plus a HerLife ad titled Timeless Beauty. Adorn is an annual runway fundraiser for the Harvest Ball Society held at Bartle Hall in Kansas City.
