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!

Imagine walking into a cloud of cotton candy, and then imagine seeing an old fashioned candy shop where the walls are painted pastel pink, baby blue, and cool mint. It's like a dream and then imagine seeing your baby girl's monogram MSC on it all. All the feelings of magic turn to feelings of serendipity. This moment was nothing short of a dream come true! 

What a whirlwind of a vacation and it was pure magic. I had absolutely no idea how much Ryan and I would love Disney World. We went into this trip with the mentality that we were doing this solely for Magnolia. I have friends that are diehard Disney fanatics, but never in my wildest dreams did I think I would love this trip as much as them. Ryan and I even walked into the parks on the first day being secretly pessimistic because the crowds were gawd-awful (and I even like the energy of crowds) and somehow the magic took us over. It was the smell of waffle cones being made and cotton candy being spun, it was glittery fireworks in the sky every hour, the parades and marching bands, princesses surprising us around every corner, the sound of laughter in the air, it was everything magical all at once. Literally, it swept us off our feet! We were having just as much fun as Magnolia.
