We had a fun shoot several weeks ago.  It was a gorgeous evening and Hannah is a lovely person - inside and out.  We started at Crown Center...

Hannah had some amazing cowboy boots with her, so we headed to the Kansas City Crossroads Art District to find both some old red brick and greenery.  By this time, Hannah and I had established a good photographer-client connection and she really started coming out of her shell.  :)
