family: yuri+dasha+andrey+natasha

It is an honor. Or a blessing I suppose. Either way, I am given the opportunity to watch a beautiful baby grow. To see Natasha every three months and watch her do all the neat things she has learned. And, that to me is something no other job can give me the opportunity to do. Or satisfaction. I get to be a special part of her life and document the big girl she is turning into.

And, while I am at it, I LOVE getting to see Yuri and Dasha and Natasha's big brother, Andrey! Mostly because they are always full of laughter, smiles and energy. What I love most about this family, is how they trust me. As in, I really want to shoot in the most urban location Kansas City has to offer, how about it? Without a second thought, Dasha was on board, and I was so thrilled because if you look below, the photographs do not disappoint. Not even one bit. In fact, this is one of my all-time favorite sessions to date!

Yuri and Dasha, have fun peeking at some of my favorites!!! I just loved them all!

Up first, some of my favorites! I love how the first picture is so real and so fun!



Holy color heaven! For real.



Um, hi beautiful baby girl! With beautiful baby eyes.



Some loving from dad...



and mum.



I love when I find the nittiest and grittiest of places, and it produces a photograph like this one.



I don't know what I said to make him laugh like this, but it must have been funny!



I am obsessed with this picture!



I will end with this awesome building we found. I want to shoot here ALL the time!



Yuri and Dasha, this is hands-down my favorite session of ours to date! Hope you love them as much as I do!!!
