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! :) 

When you get married, you gain a whole new family! I happen to think my second family is pretty much the greatest. 

Sunil's oldest sister lives in North Carolina and we spent Thanksgiving at their beautiful home with their adorable two children. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do family photos for them!! :)

LOVE those snuggles!

That pony tail!! 

We didn't venture far for their photos, but instead decided to utilize their gorgeous property and the abundant fall leaves. 

Chris and Monica, thank you SO much for letting Sunil and I join your family for Thanksgiving!! I had so much fun doing your photos - I hope you love them! :)
