Craving Crimson - Kelly is Captivating | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

Hello November - Glad to see you! An underrated month in my opinion! I am always happy and excited to welcome a new month! A new month means new opportunities and new goals to smash! October and December usually steal the spotlight for being the beginning of Fall and Christmas, and both unfairly upstage November! 

Speaking of stealing the spotlight, Kelly completely shines in these images! Why are redheads so forever stunning!

These green hues look striking on her; from emerald to teal, any shade of green is stunning when paired with red hair!! 

Boudie Fact Check- It has been scientifically proven that seeing the color red increases a viewers metabolism, heart rate and respiration. Wow, so being a redhead is a powerful fucking thing indeed! 

The crimson sunsets, parting birds, crisp autumn air, and crunchy leaves are a vibe.. I am so here for all of the above! You can find me daily in the studio - cozy in chunky sweaters, editing images, with a hot coffee in hand!
