ryan + annie

i knew i liked this darling couple from the moment i met them. 

not only are they sweet as can be, 

they are adventurous.

and crazy about each other.

and just downright fun to be around.

they share a contagious love & excitement for downtown kansas city 

so we definitely wanted to use the city as a backdrop for their photographs.

We enjoyed a gorgeous morning of exploring the city...

both the traditional KC sites

and a few hidden treasures.

ryan & annie: you guys were a blast to work with. i loved getting to know you and wish you all of life's richest blessing on your life together! 

  

todd & leigh: engagement pics {sneak peek}

So apparently I just can't help myself with this sneak peek. I have to say that it is definitely one of my most favorite sessions to date. 

Gorgeous couple, fantastic weather, amazing location...

and a vintage leather chair.

Not just any chair, but the soon to be groom's great grandad's chair from his office.

So cool!

Todd & Leigh are a beautiful couple who met at summer camp. They are just as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. 

{and I'm pretty sure they could moonlight as supermodels if they needed to...}

And how do I know these intimate details? 

Todd is Mat's cousin. And Leigh is my soon to be cousin - in - law. 

Or something like that:)

When they talked to me about some pictures last March I don't know if  they had

 chigger bites, allergy attacks & a 9 year old translator in mind...

But hey, what's a photographer to do when she unintentionally discovers an amazing location?!

Anyways, I couldn't choose just a "few" so enjoy. 

Todd & Leigh - we love you guys and can't wait for you to begin the most incredible adventure that life has to hold...

PS: And the last one? Definitely one of my faves

 Hilarious if you know Todd or his family. 

His dad and grandad (and great grandad) have owned a local lumber company/store for many years. 

So it was just fitting.

I'll leave it at that=)
