When Jewels and Fancy Dresses Collide

Finally getting to share some of the AMAZING photos by Jim Bob!  This was such a fun shoot with a lot of shiny, fancy jewels by Marianna Harutunian out of Los Angeles. The beautiful clothing was designed by Natalyia Meyer, a Kansas City Fashion Designer and owner of the clothing store Lucia's Sarto. Jim Bob is so fun to work with...between his music and jokes, I don't know what I like best!! Ok, so maybe it was the photos he captured!

KC Skyline +The River Market + Running

When Steve Gibson asks you to be a part of a really cool running photo shoot..you say yes!  It was so awesome working with him in the River Market, doing one of the things I love to do, RUN!  And since I live in the River Market area, he suggested we shoot there.  Downtown Kansas City and the KC Streetcar featured in the photos were my favorite part about this shoot!  It took many times running back and forth to get the perfect shot, but I think he pulled it off!!...and I even got my workout in that day!  Besides that, the Kansas weather decided to misbehave that day, so I had to keep moving to stay warm!  This was a photo shoot very different than anything I have ever done, but I love working out and staying in shape, so I felt fortunate to be a part of it!
Here are just a few of the photos he captured.

Those views make me love Kansas City even more than I already do!

It was my first time participating in KCFW and it was a dream!  I had the pleasure of walking for Barbara Bultman and her designs are absolutely amazing! The outfit I wore...there are no words to describe it, other than perfection!  I met so many amazing people; from hair and makeup to photographers, made many new friends and shared this exciting night with old friends too. This was an experience I will never forget!  Thank you to everyone who made this night one for the books! Stephanie Rohr, you are the bomb!

Fashion by Elda Doamekpo for Afielda

Designs -  High Fashion - Photography

High Fashion. The two words I think of when I describe a photo shoot I did for designer Elda Doamekpo of Afielda from Nebraska.  Her designs are incredible and so fun to wear!  My absolute favorite was the first look I had...the leather collar was to die for! Besides being to able to wear her designs and meet her in the flesh, I met some other amazing people too...models, hair and makeup and let's not forget the eyes behind the cameras...and there were a lot of cameras!

The location -  Unity Village in Missouri.  This place is gorgeous and the photographers at this shoot took the opportunity to utilize the most incredible spots for snapping these amazing photos.  I guess thats why they do what they do, they have an incredible eye for this.  Let's get to the photos! I am obsessed with everything about this shoot! Thanks to Tiffany Manson, Jonny Hackett, Ken Schmidt and Jim Bob for the amazing shots! This shoot was Fall 2016...I am a bit behind on this one!

Until the camera shoots again...
