2026 - No. 4

Shelby starts us off this time with a very elegant, full-length blue plaid dress, along with a great smile to go with her great figure. She was in the area waiting on friends, one of whom was celebrating a birthday that night. I did get photos of the birthday girl, but decided to keep them for her eyes only.

Next up is Riley in a tight black tank and miniskirt showing off amazing legs. Later you'll find Kristine also looking hot in a tight black tank, but with blue denim shorts instead of a miniskirt.

And alongside Kristine are Paige and Darian, two hot nurses and both in hot pink. Paige in scrubs - I think she'd just gotten off shift - and Darian in a dress for an event that evening.

And speaking of pink, it isn't often that I'm photographing someone while talking to them. The info desk girl at the City Market back in 2024 was one significant opportunity for that. And the adorable Kaely near Union Station was another, wearing a pink crop top and denim shorts riding a little low. She'd tell me it was also her first time in downtown Kansas City.

Also near Union Station was Emily with an adorable styling in her hair. Not intentional, too, she'd tell me, as her hair tie had broken so she had to improvise.

With the World Cup in town this year, that leaves open the opportunity to photograph foreign nationals visiting the US for that. Antonella from Argentina was the first I was able to photograph.

And I'm not entirely sure, but I think this issue's cover feature, Pear, is also a foreign national. I do know that she is adorable. Black tank and denim shorts with glasses. But how she had her hair tied... that's what... tied it all together. (I'll grab my coat...)
