Christmas in November?

Yep, I'm that girl who buys a Christmas present and gives it in November.  I have no patience.  I hate waiting for things and I can't stand keeping anything a surprise so you can imagine how hard it was not to share these images.  I would have to say that this issue of Her Life is my favorite ever.  First the fashion shoot and now the cover shoot.  I loved 'em both! 

I was so excited when I found out I'd be shooting Emily Baldwin of Standard Style.  Clearly, she's got the style thing down.  In addition to being ridiculously beautiful she's an incredible business woman and we instantly bonded over talk of our children.  With two little boys at home and a rapidly growing business that relies heavily on technology we have a lot in common.  You can read Emily's story (written by my dear friend, Kristen Doyle) in the October issue of Her Life, which is now one year old…can you believe it?

And here are some of my favorite images from our shoot at Mosaic Lounge in the Kansas City Power & Light District.  As soon as I heard we were shooting Emily I knew I wanted to shoot at Mosaic.  It's a gorgeous space filled with vibrant color…a photographer's dream!










Isn't she stunning?


Oh, how I loved this purple wall!


Emily, thanks for giving up an afternoon to shoot with us.  It was such a pleasure to meet you! 

Until next time,
H
