Hi blog readers! It has been a little while, hasn’t it? I am hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas and were able to see family & friends. This time of year is always busy and hectic and crazy for so many people and I am not the exception. The rush of Christmas, usually a casual birthday celebration (turned 27 yesterday) and then the rush for prepping the end of the year and the beginning of another. Whew!

Well, this one is long overdue, but with the holiday break, I was unable to get them all edited and posted!

I had a wonderful time with Hannah, (accompanied by her mom and sister!). We met out in Blue Springs on a very cold day at Burr Oak Woods nature center. It ended up being a great place to shoot at. Lots of fun hanging out in God’s creation.

Enjoy!

I’m a sucker for teasing hair, laughing at trees, and native prairie grasses (which can grow to be 8 feet tall)!

Hanging next to a cool observation fence right off the trail.

Loving the flair of the sun mixed with bench…I saw spots for quite a while after accidentally looking at the sun. Whoops!

Sorry Hannah, for making you get comfy on a log. I know you thought you were going to have fun, but at least the bugs and bears were hibernating!

I loved her layered look with the scarves and coat and all the layered tops. Take notes, ladies!

Pretty smile!

Yeah, I have an affinity for dumpsters. I’m weird, I know.

The setting sun rocks for beautiful light. So warm and fuzzy, even on a cold day.

Color!

More color!

Pretty tops and cool shoes make for fashion, no? Wee.

There we went with the tall grasses again.

Look, it’s a deer…okay, it’s really mom & sis, who were dears, but not the kind with antlers.

Aaaahhh! Crazy people!
