There’s nothing quite like a creative and edgy couple’s session in the heart of downtown Kansas City! Emily and Nick brought all the fashion-forward energy and playful vibes to this unforgettable shoot.
From the moment we met up, these two were all smiles and totally in sync. She wore a bold white mini dress paired with sheer pearl gloves (obsessed!), and he looked great in a navy suit that popped perfectly against the city’s urban textures. We started in front of a modern, geometric building downtown—adding the perfect architectural edge to their already-cool style.
Their connection was magnetic. Every laugh, every touch, every stolen glance was filled with so much joy. That energy translated into some seriously magical portraits. Whether they were wrapped up in each other’s arms or dancing like no one was watching, this creative and edgy couple’s session felt like a page out of a modern-day love story.
Later, we took things to the rooftop, letting Kansas City’s skyline play backdrop. The city lights, the wind in her hair, and those perfect just-about-to-kiss moments? Pure gold. It was the kind of session that reminded me why I love this work so much! Two people in love, totally present and having fun together.
If you’re dreaming of a couple’s session that steps outside the box, don’t be afraid to show up in something that makes you feel confident and cool. Downtown KC has no shortage of bold backdrops. Moody cityscapes let your style and love shine front and center!
Maris & Maddie had a beautiful Shawnee Mission Park session with me in the Spring. The two of them hadn’t ever had professional photos taken of the two of them, but you wouldn’t have been able to tell based on how natural they were the entire session! They are also such good company and I had some of the friendliest conversations having only met for the first time this day!
They are also so obviously in love, and checked in with one another during their session. We started under the trees while walking the path right at sunset! It had rained earlier in the day but had cleared up just in time for our session! Our night ended at the water walking along one of the piers that had an amazing view of the lake. It was overcast skies but I truly love that lighting because it allows me the flexibility to shoot anywhere in the park.
Thank you so much Maria & Maddie for being such great company for your Shawnee Mission park session! You two are truly two of the sweetest humans!
Jamaica and Aidan booked a session with me during my Spring minis! I hosted the sessions at Shawnee Mission Park! This afternoon was gorgeous, it felt like the sun was somehow extra glow during golden hour. And we couldn’t get enough!
Aidan and Jamaica fit together like puzzle pieces. In the short session I had with them, their love was obvious for one another. You wouldn’t question anything spending 10 minutes with them! This made it so easy to let their love do the work! I gave them fun prompts so they were always moving around and being playful! I love the images we captured!
I found out a month after these Spring minis, Aidan proposed to Jamaica in Amsterdam! She obviously said yes and now they are busy doing all the fun wedding planning! Congrats to you both! This afternoon was a blast and I feel so lucky to have met you both!
