A Gentleman & A Lady At Belvoir Winery!

Belvoir Winery is said to be haunted. But as far as photography purposes — it serves as the perfect backdrop for gentleman and a lady — Kaylee & Konner!

Twice a year, I (Christine) be sure to go back over to Kansas City to photograph my much loved regulars (Tatiana usually covers the Kansas City area!). So, of course, I sent a message over to the Good family to let them know I would be in last weekend.

Kate not only loves photos of her adorable children, but also loves Scentsy — so I always make sure to hook her up with both!

We were originally going to do a photoshoot with the entire family, but Kody is serving in the military (thank you!), and got called out with his unit last weekend. So, we decided to take photos of just the kiddos this round, and then have another mini shoot with the family this Fall!

And my regulars know how important it is to have photos every year! These two photos below were taken only one year apart. And look at how different Konner look already! Kids grow like weeds!

Crazy, right? And it was almost exactly one year apart! And let’s not forget about our beautiful Kaylee:

I am excited to get photos of our high school sweethearts later this year, too! Then, we can compare the family photos from the year before, too! I love watching the Good kiddos grow up!

Kaylee looked like a beautiful princess! Her dress was flowing and long, and just perfect for her! She also had a flower crown around her curly hair.

However, in true princess fashion, we did have to help her from one photo spot to the next. The dress was really long, so we had to keep reminding her to lift it up when she walked!

And now it’s story time for Mr. Konner. My oldest, Lily, is little besties with him. She came with me to this photoshoot. At the end, Konner and Lily raced back to the car. Lily beat him and he goes: “You cheated!”

Kate asked Konner how Lily cheated. He informed her that Lily beat him.

Kate said, “That’s not cheating, she was just faster than you, bud!”

To which Konner said: “No, she won, so she cheated!”

Kate said he got his losing skills from his father. Hahaha!

It was great to see all of you! Excited for our next family shoot.

A Nature Trail Family Photoshoot

Burr Oak Woods in Blue Springs is such a lovely place — it’s full of trails, nature, and perfect photo spots. We love it so much, it made our Top 10 Photoshoot Locations in KC list!

I met with Kody & Kate this Sunday at said nature center. I’ve known Kate for years — it started way back when she came to a Halloween special I was doing in 2012 (I’ve come a long way since then):

But Mr. Konner is much bigger now!

Since that very first photoshoot, Kate discovered I am also a Scentsy consultant and fell in love with the Havana Cabana scent. Now, here we are, years later — still friends, Scentsy companions, and photoshoot pals.

Kate’s family has grown by one since we first met — meet Miss Kaylee.

Kaylee loves “Hello Kitty” and anything musical! She took a tumble off the bed just a few hours before the shoot and had a nice, big bruise under eye. That’s what Photoshop is for, right? Bruise removal. 🙂

Kaylee just loves her big brother. She likes to follow him around and do what he is doing! Konner certainly doesn’t mind!

Konner is so full of energy and fun! He loves to run, climb, find random sticks … 🙂

He informed me at the shoot he’s having a “Harry Potter” birthday party and I’m invited. He also loves “Power Rangers” and dinosaurs.

I wanted to make sure to get some great pictures of Kate and Kody. These high school sweethearts have been together for 10 years this November — Kate’s nickname for him is “pookie.”

Right after the shot above, I yelled, “Quick! Kate! Do something ornery!” She didn’t even skip a beat. BOOM. Tongue by his face. This was Kody’s genuine reaction, it wasn’t posed at all.

Glad to have these two as inspiration in my life — they keep the fun in their marriage, and are so in love!
