Can you even imagine a family photo on your wall w Can you even imagine a family photo on your wall where everyone is looking at each other instead of at the camera?? Is that allowed? Well, we actually think the BEST family photos are the ones where you're not looking at the camera. We think this is the perfect family photo and that it deserves some serious real estate on your walls. What we love about this image: 1️⃣ This was the first shot of the day. You just know this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful relationship when THIS is the first image you capture. 2️⃣ Nothing about this image was staged. This is 100% them, no coaching or guidance. Aren't they PERFECTLY WONDERFUL????? We're so glad we've gotten to know this sincere and joy-filled family and that we had our cameras on em for the most fun hour ever ❤️ 3️⃣ That gorgeous sunset light. We would absolutely love to get your family in front of our cameras this year. But, only contact us if you're tired of the boring same old stuff you've been getting for years. That's not what we do around here! #weLOVEtellingyourstory #sayNOtoboringphotos #kansascityfamilyphotographer
JOY to the WORLD! "Oh sing to the Lord a new song JOY to the WORLD! "Oh sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done marvelous things!" -Psalm 98:1 We sincerely hope the truth of Christmas settles over each and every person reading this post today. Jesus, the Savior of the world, has come! Blessings, Mike and Julie

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RYANN!! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RYANN!!
As the weather turns to cooler and cooler days, yo As the weather turns to cooler and cooler days, your best bet for a warm outdoor session is that late afternoon time. The shorter the days get, the earlier and earlier that time is. Daylight Savings Time ends on 11/6, so that means even earlier start times for an evening session. If weeknights are tricky for you, now is the time to snag a weekend spot. We only have TWO primo Saturday evening spots left in October. Are YOU on our calendar this Fall?

Use the link in our bio to see if our style is a good fit for you and hurry, before it gets chilly, y’all. #kcphotographer #kansascityphotographer #kcfamilyphotographer #kansascityfamilyphotographer #fallphotos #familyphotos #sayNOtoboringphotos #reels #whydoesinstagramdislikehorizontalphotos
