Wee little ones

Can’t help but share a few little cuties with you on this blustery Monday! These are some newborn babies I have photographed at Shawnee Mission through Bella Baby Photography. I will never cease to be amazed by the miracle of newborn babies:)

Allison- These pictures are so great! I love the little one with the wrinkles in the forehead and the twins!

Kansas City Engagement Photographer: Jill & Nathan

Congratulations to Nathan and Jill, who were one of two couples who won an engagement session at the bridal show in September! These two have the best country-chic style, and are just plain adorable together. We worked our way around the Lone Summit Ranch during their session, which has photo opp’s galore!

Kansas City Engagement Photographer: Ryan & Beth

Ryan and Beth = trendy, gorgeous, fun and completely in love!

It was so fun to meet Beth a month or so ago, to learn that we seem to have mirrored lives: she moved to Des Moines from Kansas City about a year and a half ago and still owns a house only a few blocks from where I live now…and I moved to Kansas City from Des Moines and own a condo just south of where she lives! I met Ryan when they arrived at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art for their engagement session, and let me tell you: these two are adorable together. They are so laid back, easy to get to know, and impossibly perfect in front of a camera! If the sun hadn’t set at the end of our session, I could have photographed them for a few more hours. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding this spring!

Ryan custom-designed this ring with canary diamonds because Beth loves to wear gold jewelry. It’s perfect!
