Oh this session was so much fun and we lucked out on a gorgeous 60+ degree day in early February! Eastin was a dream to photograph and our two hour Gold session flew right by. Our two main areas we focused on were in the Crossroads and then up here at Liberty Memorial. Getting the cityscape shot in the background can be hit or miss depending on the sunlight (since it faces south) but again, we completely lucked out as clouds rolled in just as we headed up there allowing the city to say hello!
Eastin’s blue dress proves that it truly is best to dress for the location. It worked beautifully here at Liberty Memorial with the assorted blue tiles on the building and then added that pop of color needed to make her stand out in the other portraits with the stone and the tall golden grass, bringing the eye’s attention directly to her.
Switching it back to the beginning of our session, we started on the Freight House Bridge attached to Union Station, accessing it from the crossroads side. The black top and jeans were perfect for this spot as it complimented the steel of the bridge and the lines brought the focus directly to Eastin’s beautiful smile.
After we left the bridge, we went for a walk around the area and stumbled upon this cute KC mural which happily worked great with her outfit and sunglasses. We didn’t have a set location in mind but rather enjoyed finding little nooks and crannies as we (Eastin, myself, and her mom) walked and chatted, we really had such a great time!
I have used this building before with my family mini sessions and I absolutely love the lines bringing the focus to the middle, which was perfect for Eastin’s outfit.
And a little pop of green, which was so nice to find in February!
And our last image of the night to round out the blog post. I truly had a blast and love how these turned out! Check out her mom’s Google review below, thank you so much!!
