I was super excited to get out and shoot Kelly and Jordan’s engagement session last week. Let’s face it, there isn’t as much opportunity to photograph during the winter months – and the weather has been so gorgeous. I’m very thankful for the weather that has allowed a bit busier of a winter schedule than usual! Me? I LOVE shooting during the winter. The light is just…different (in a very good way). I love the golden and beige hues of the landscape. I don’t mind that the trees are bare at all. Jordan and Kelly’s session at Shawnee Mission Park was no exception to the wonderful opportunities that winter presents – Kelly lives in the eastern US and was only in town for a few days – so we had a narrow window in which to shoot their engagement session. It worked out in a wonderful way with a near 60 degree day and a gorgeous winter sunset. I really enjoyed working with these two and they were so easy to photograph. They truly had a lot of fun and I love it when a session not only serves to document an important time in life but is an enjoyable experience in the process!
These two are SO cute together and believe it or not, given the time of year I don’t have much opportunity to shoot engagement sessions during Kansas City’s famous Plaza Lights season – I love shooting at night! With the help of FANTASTIC assistant Kelly Knetter, we got some gorgeous holiday shots of these two at the latter part of the shoot. Congratulations to these two, who are getting married in Pittsburg, KS next June!! And Happy Holidays everyone!
