Anna rummaged through her mother's closet to find a dress for a Christmas dance. And found a black evening gown with sparkles (thankfully not too much) that Andrea last wore in high school to a homecoming dance.
Anna's also only 13 years old but about the same height as her mother, maybe a little taller. I doubt she'll get much taller still, though, as she's not much taller compared to last year when she turned 12. I'd be very surprised if she ends up as tall as my wife, let alone anywhere near my height or her father's, who is taller than me.
These shots were taken at Kaw Point with downtown Kansas City as the backdrop. I'd been wanting to do a photo shoot there for quite a while but just never had the right opportunity.
And unfortunately, it wasn't much we could get. The biting cold and wind meant we were there for all of about... 20 minutes.
Since first having a shoot with her... 3 years ago (holy hell, has it seriously been that long?!?), I'd been wanting to do another Christmas lights shoot. Unfortunately timing just wasn't working out. But after the Kaw Point shoot, I wanted to get shots of Anna in the evening gown with the Christmas lights as the backdrop.
Still cold, but not anywhere near as bad as when we were at Kaw Point. And I came prepared this time with hot chocolate to help keep her warm.
