Magnolia turned SIX years old on the third. She had a Ballerina Bath Bomb birthday party at Buff City Soap with her cousins and dance + neighbor friends. It was the most fun party we have ever had. On her actual birthday she wanted to control the day, basically a YES DAY, and from the moment she woke up until bedtime she was in charge. It was a blast for me too and I made a reel on Instagram if you want to see little pieces of our day. I feel like so much has happened in this month of February. She went with me to almost all of my IVF appointments and we are so grateful to have one frozen embryo. Her very first tooth fell out! All three of her dances took first place at her very first dance competition of the season. It's been a very fun and blessed month!!!

Magnolia shares my love for VALENTINE'S DAY! The night before our photos with Shelby Lynn we were at dinner, and she said "we need to hurry home and get to bed" because she had to get up early and get ready! And she woke up at 4:30 am, we definitely did not need to get up that early, but she's an early bird and was excited to start the day. She had so much fun at the studio and loves the camera, she also adores Shelby! Doing mini sessions with Shelby is always the best time because she can work her magic in 15 minutes or less and the kids stay excited and into it the whole time. If your local to Kansas City, you just have to do a session with her. Photos to CHERISH FOREVER! See other photos we did with Shelby here, here, here, here, and here. Every single time I open an email with photos from her it will literally take my breath away. Talent, passion, magic, love, timely, creative - you name it - she's got it!
