Sunil and I met Mark and Melissa over a year ago when they started coming to our church, and I was SO happy when they asked me to do photos for them! They're in the middle of selling their property and requested that we do photos on the land they've come to love. 

We were gearing up for a full-out winter shoot... scarves, hats, gloves, and big coats. It IS December after all. Well, the day of our shoot arrived and it was a balmy 65 degrees outside! Boy, do I love living in Kansas City. :) 

Mark and Melissa are both HUGE self described dorks, and were convinced that they would be super awkward in front of the camera. 

That couldn't be further from the truth!! :)

We had so much fun exploring their beautiful property, and they had lots of stories to tell of the different memories they've made there. 

So sweet!!

Mark and Melissa, seriously, you guys could NOT get much cuter!! Thanks so much for allowing me to photograph your beautiful selves and for a lovely evening together. Love you guys! :) 

I had the privilege of photographing Chris and Alexa's destination Maine wedding several years ago, and I was SO excited when Chris asked me to do maternity photos as they excitedly wait for their first child! :) 

We've worked together several times, and it's so fun to photograph clients that you've gotten to know as friends! 

We started out by photographing some details in their nursery, and quickly moved outdoors because we wanted to take advantage of the beautiful fall colors! 

Then the gorgeous sun decided to make an appearance and we soaked in the beautiful fall evening! 

Alexa, you look AMAZING!! 

So sweet!! :) 

Love seeing you laugh together! 

Chris and Alexa, thank you so much for allowing me to photograph you guys again!! I'm so so excited for you guys - you're going to be amazing parents! :)
