One of the best locations in Kansas City for couples sessions is The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. The grand stairs, the tall pillars, the quiet gardens, and the beautiful green lawns make for beautiful backdrops that compliment every fun and intimate moment.

Christina and Nick have been dating since February of 2019 so they decided it was time for some professional pics. They’ve captured their relationship through iphone photos and instagram stories but this session was way more than just pictures. It was an afternoon dedicated to spending quality time with each other and capturing their dating stage as their relationship keeps growing.

When Christina was a freshman and Nick was a sophomore they met for the very first time at Missouri State University. Their mutual friends introduced them and as their friendship grew they both started to catch feelings. A ton of Chick-fil-a dates later and they knew this was the real deal.

The minute I met Christina and Nick I could tell how much they love each other. It was obvious through the in between moments that they are the perfect pair. From the subtle glances, to the way Christina’s head fits into Nick’s shoulder – it was a match made in heaven.

Last summer these cuties both spent their break in Orlando, FL. One evening, as the golden sun set in the sky, Nick and Christina shared a meal together overlooking the gorgeous view of the ocean. After dinner they walked hand and hand along the beach. Christina watched the waves crash on the shore and then looked up at Nick’s smiling face, it was in that moment she knew they were meant to spend the rest of their lives together. Thinking about that night still takes Christina’s breath away.

The Nelson-Atkins Museum was the perfect spot for Nick and Christina’s couples session. We had a ton of variety for different backgrounds and the grounds are so big that the creative options are truly endless. I could photograph a couple here every weekend and each session would be unique to the rest. What makes couples sessions so special is giving yourself a moment, or an afternoon, to really spend some quality time together in a new way.

“We may have been out in public in front of lots of people, but it honestly felt like it was just the two of us in that moment” -Christina

Christina and Nick’s advice to you:

“{After seeing the final gallery} Each picture I looked at, I just fell in love with it. It was so sweet to see the both of us together & the way we look at one another. The pictures were truly worth a thousand words. Don’t wait forever to get pictures done – moments fly by SO quick! I’m so glad Natalie was able to capture our dating stage of life as things continue to move forward”
