I had the honor of photographing my nephew Draven again this Fall. It was different from all my other sessions with him, because Jess wanted to try doing some outdoor photographs. They also wanted a family photograph so we tried some outdoors, but weren't able to indoors due to Josh having a EMT call. It was defiantly a challenge with this little guy, he was all over the place and didn't want to sit still for a photograph. We let him play and run around while I just took the photographs that I could when I got the chance. I got quite a few good photographs of Draven outdoors before we decided to head inside and do some more in the studio. Draven did an excellent job indoors thanks to Scooby-snacks, and a little extra work. I always have a blast spending time with him, and especially photographing him as he keeps on growing!
I had the honor of getting to know Sarah and photograping her Senior Session this fall. I really enjoyed this photo shoot because of the perfect fall weather we had do the outdoor portion of the session. Sarah was up for any ideas I had, and suggestions, which led to some great images! We went around Humboldt, to a park where the leaves had fallen already, and to an abandon house which turned out to be my personal favorite photographs from the session. Thanks for letting me be a part of your Senior Year Sarah. Congratulations & Good Luck!
I had the pleasure of photographing the Rose children in Ames. I had a great time 1st photographing them in their Iowa State apparel and than traveled Downtown for some outdoor photographs. I had found a really neat little area down an alley. They were a little shy at first but quickly warmed up to me, as these 2 children had more energy than any other children I have photographed so it was defiantly an upbeat and fast photo shoot. I really enjoyed every moment of the photo shoot as you never know what faces children will make in front of a camera It has been a long time since both of them have had their pictures taken, so I'm very pleased with the images I got & knew it was important to capture who they are at this age. Thanks again Krista & Mike, I enjoyed spending the time with your beautiful family!
