Lauren & Taylor – Kansas City wedding photographer by Marco

When I heard that Lauren’s family is from the same region in Italy I come from I did made some assumptions about what food they were going to serve at their wedding. I know, it’s not very professional, but if you have visited Umbria and have tried some of the local specialties you know what I am talking about. Needless to say, it was amazing! But I digress. Of course it’s about a lovely couple and the love they share and the families and friends that gather to celebrate it. And that was all very special as well.

Reception was at the Firestone building, downtown Kansas City.

Please make sure to visit the GALLERY with more images from this wedding.

Olivia – Kansas City senior photographers by Marco

This is a few of my favorite shots from Olivia’s senior session. She came to the studio with here girlfriends Sarah and Jessie and we had a lot of fun. Each one of them had an individual session but then we had time to take few group shots. What a great way to create good memories of good friendship.

Alright, Sarah is Jessie’s cousin and we shot their senior session together. Such a great idea. The both had individual sessions but we also had a chance to take some really cute group shots. I’ll be posting some of those soon. For now enjoy these few favorites from her session.

I shot Jessie with her girlfriends on a special session we organized in a very short notice. I have shot group sessions for high school seniors before, but this was really fun and we got so many good shots. This is just a selection of my favorites.

Liliya & Tony – Kansas City wedding photography by Marco

This is another pretty story, I tend to like those a lot. I shot this two pretty lovers almost 2 years ago, for their engagement session. Then few months ago I’ve got the call: they were getting married! I love it. I wanted to be their photographer so bad because I liked that engagement session and I think they liked the style of photography I have given them through the years as well. So we were bound to work together, no options.

The getting ready was at the Q Hotel, which not only is a lovely spa-hotel but also has some neat areas in the lobby for photography. Which of course we took advantage of. Ceremony and reception were held at Californos.

BTW, this is just a little quick teaser I found myself putting together while downloading cards and organizing files. Hope you guys enjoy it.

I’m with Izzy! by Marco

I was asked to photograph Izzie, Mikki and Chrystal by a fellow photographer. She told me that Izzy is battling leukemia and has already undergone her first round of chemo. When she started the treatments both mom and her big sister shaved their hair so that she could feel less alone in her battle. And she is not. Besides the love from friends and family she has a large group of supporters that do what they can to help.

For this shoot Heavenly Hippos made some cute outfits for the two sisters and photographers and friends from out of state coordinated the day so that we could take some shots of this pretty girl and her family. Here are some of my favorites from this session.

You can read more about her on her FaceBook page.

Layla – Newborn photography in Tulsa by Marco

Not a lot of time to take pictures of 3 weeks old Layla, just few minutes on my way home to Kansas City. But we were lucky enough to catch her just between a nap and a snack so she was just happy and giggly. Mom was getting ready to run some errands and so me and Layla were just goofing around and playing on the couch or with the bear skin. Lots of fun. This are just few of my favorites from this newborn session.

Mila – Kansas City newborn photography by Marco

This is one of those Kansas City newborn photography sessions that have a special meaning not just for the parents of the baby and their families but for the photographer as well; me. I have shot Madilyn’s senior pictures few years ago. I drove up to Excelsior Springs, MO and hung out at her parents geo-house. If you don’t know what that is you may want to Google it, it’s pretty cool actually. The whole house is underground and covered with grass. You cannot see it from the road but if you walk around there is a beautiful patio where the big windows of the house peak from the side of the hill. After Madilyn senior photography session I sat there in a lovely summer evening drinking tea and chatting with her family, feeling pretty darn good about life.

Fast forward to 2013, things have changed quite a bit for Madilyn. She now has a family and the cutes baby ever, Mila. But the kind spirit, loving person I met at the geo-house was the same. They cooked breakfast while I was snapping pictures of the cute little Mila. Then we sat and eat together at the kitchen table, chatting and just enjoying the moments we had in between dippers changes or after bottle burps. So again, on my drive home, I found myself feeling just like I did after her senior session. At peace, happy for no specific reasons and feeling pretty darn good about life.

Penelope – {Kansas City Newborn Photographer} by Marco

As a Kansas City Newborn Photographer I sometimes get the chance to photograph a good friend’s baby. In this case Penelope is the lovely new baby of my good friend and exceptional make up artist Terran. We have been working on boudoir photography sessions and senior photography sessions for a while and become not only good working partners but close friends. When I learned she was pregnant (by the way her pregnancy photography session was to die for but we decided to keep that a private event and only for her and her family to enjoy) I was excited to be asked to be photographing the soon to be born Penelope.
