Hi. I’m Laura and I have an addiction to family photos. It drives Aaron almost completely crazy – but after spending a couple of years snapping photos for happy families all over Kansas City, I am a firm believer in having moments captured.
Sure – I usually follow through in the form of snapping photos all over the farm and documenting the stories that go along with them. But every once in awhile, I like to fork over the cash to have someone exceptionally talented snap photos that actually include me. It’s fun. And always worth it.
This time around, we had Danielle Garza from Danielle Garza Photography in Valley Falls, Kansas, come out to the farm to capture us in our own space.
I know Danielle from when we used to play each other in sports and things as kids. We went to neighboring schools and – as is usual in small towns – everybody knows everybody. I’ve followed her photography journey for years. She’s insanely skilled at capturing natural, playful moments with great lighting – and I knew she’d be a perfect fit for highlighting the more romantic and dreamy aspects of our rustic farm.
Boy, did she.
I’m head over heels for the warm sun, chippy barn paint and giggly baby she captured from every angle. Bonus points – we were just one day away from Isai’s 1st birthday – so these will forever commemorate our little guy growing up a little.
All too often, I write that I love this place and these people. Really, though, I do.
