Adam + Angela

  

  

I had the honor of photographing Adam & Angela's Engagement Session last weekend in Humboldt & Gold Field. I have been friends with the couple so it made it a lot more fun! It was defiantly a cold Fall day but they did great, and I enjoyed spending the day with them. We were able to enjoy lunch together and talk about a lot of their Wedding Plans before heading to Gold Field to end the session. It was defiantly an entertaining session with Adams personality if you know Adam at all. Thanks Adam & Angela for letting me photograph your Engagement Session!

Kenzie's Senior Sneak Peak

I had the honor of photographing Kenzie's Senior Session this Fall, which turned out to be a beautiful afternoon. The wind was a slight issue during the session, but I was able to find some great locations without wind. The session was very relaxed & fun, as she was up for anything I had in mind. Kenzie had several amazing photographs which made choosing just a few to share difficult. Thanks for letting me photograph your Senior Session

Pilling Fall Session 2012 Sneak Peak

I had the honor of photographing Nick, Jessica & Boston again this Fall. This would be my third time photographing this couple, and Jessica always has some great ideas she wants to try, which always turn out amazing! I always enjoy photographing this couple because they are so fun & relaxed. Nick & Jessica always do a great job with their clothing selections, as they always look great. This was my first time photographing them in Clive instead of Ames which was a nice scenery change. They had picked out some great locations around the Des Moines Area. Thanks again for letting me photograph your family, &I am hoping for some snow this year for a Winter Session!

Dave + Abby

   

I had the honor of photographing Abby & Dave's Engagement Session a couple weekends ago. I got to know the two of them & spend time with them earlier in September while on a vacation in Las Vegas, so I was excited when Abby had asked me to photograph their Engagement Session. I enjoyed this session as it was a beautiful Fall morning, & the location they picked was great! It was a little brisk, but I couldn't have asked for a better morning this time of year. I was excited that they wanted to have Whiskey in their session as he is an adorable dog & was obedient as well. Abby & Dave were a fun & easy going couple which made the session relaxed. Congratulations Abby & Dave!

Eric + Melanie

  

 

I had the honor of photographing Melanie & Eric's Engagement Session this Fall.  I have been close friends with the couple for a couple years now, & was excited to share this moment with them.  We traveled to Clear Lake for session since Eric is from there, & Melanie lives close.  During the session I had learned that their first date was by the lake, which made it all the more meaningful.  Melanie &Eric were so much fun to photograph as they were so natural in front of the camera and had fun throughout the session.  They have recently asked me to photograph their Destination Wedding in May which I am excited about! Congratulations Melanie & Eric.

Weets Wedding Sneak Peak

  

 

I had the honor of photographing Kristin & Darren after their Wedding Ceremony for a few hours. It was my first time only photographing after the Ceremony and before the Reception which put a time limit, but it was very relaxed with this couple which made it great.  They wanted to keep things simple and it worked for them.  It was a beautiful Fall day which was nice so I was able to get some great photographs of the couple outside the church as well. Congratulations Kristin & Darren

Potts Wedding Sneak Peak

 

I had known Laura through working at Fareway the past couple years,& was honored when she had asked me to photograph her wedding. This wedding was different from any other wedding I have photographed as, Laura & Joey didn't see each other until Laura walked down the isle. It was a challenge, but it made that moment all the more special for the couple! It was one of the most beautiful and touching ceremonies I have photographed, as Joey is in the Service and was gone through all of the planning. Congratulations again Laura & Joey!

Doug+Vanessa

I had the honor of photographing a close friends Engagement Session in Boone, IA. I met Vanessa through work, where we became close friends. I have enjoyed getting to know Vanessa as well as Doug, as they are a fun couple to hang out with. I was honored when Vanessa asked me to be a Bridesmaid in their upcoming wedding in June 2013, as well as photographing their Engagement Session. It was a beautiful day, & the locations they chose were amazing! They were a fun couple to photograph which made choosing the Sneak Peak Photographs difficult as there are so many great photographs from the session. Congratulations Doug & Vanessa, can't wait for the BIG day!

Bri's Senior Sneak Peak

I had the honor of photographing Bri's Senior Session this summer.  I had a great time photographing Bri, as she was up for anything and any location.  It was nice to photograph in my hometown again, and I know several locations.  Bri was nervous at the beginning but 10 minutes in she was excited and ready for the morning.  I was excited to use my new chair as a prop that I had received from my grandparents.  The chair worked great with her clothing selection & location I had chosen. Thanks Bri for letting me photograph your Senior Session!

Draven's 3 year Old Sneak Peak

I had the honor of photographing my nephew Draven's 3 Year Old Session this summer.  I have always enjoyed photographing Draven, especially because of all of his interesting facial expressions I will get on camera throughout the session. This was defiantly a difficult session as he hadn't had a nap and wasn't in the mood to get his photograph taken, but I still managed to get some great photographs!

Ryan + Emily Sneak Peak

I had the honor of photographing Ryan & Emily's Engagement session.  It was a perfect beautiful day in Ames which made for a great session.  I always love  photographing around Iowa State's Campus, because there are so many great locations.  I know this couple through my roommate & friend Krysta, as Ryan is her brother & Emily is one of her best friends.   Krysta was able to join us during the session and help me out, which she enjoyed a lot!  Ryan & Emily were a lot of fun to photograph as they have great personalities and were ready for anything.  They are a great couple and I enjoyed photographing this special moment in their life.  Congratulations Ryan & Emily!

Nick & Jessica Spring Sneak Peak

I had the honor of photographing Nick & Jessica this Spring.  They had originally scheduled a Winter Session after their Fall Session, but due to little or no snow we did a Spring Session which  happened to be a beautiful day.  We were able to walk around Iowa State's Campus, which always makes for some great photographs.  I always enjoy photographing clients who I have previously, because you have already gotten to know them and their likes.  Thanks again Nick & Jessica for letting me photograph your family again this Spring.

Cryder Wedding Sneak Peak

I had the honor of photographing one of my best friends wedding this April, as well as being the Maid Of Honor.  I have known Michelle for over 15 years, and I was excited to be a part of the Wedding Party as well as be the photographer.  She looked absolutely beautiful, and the rain held off until the reception which made it possible to take a few outdoor photographs before the ceremony.  I have known the couple for several years, and lived with them for a year in Ames.  Congratulations again Christian & Michelle!

Kinnick's 1 Year Old Sneak Peak

I had the honor of photographing Kinnick's 1 Year Old Session this January. I apologize as I thought I had blogged about this session much earlier. Kinnick was fun to photograph in his little Hawkeye jersey. He made the session a challenge when he was more interested in everything else than having his photograph taken. He did a great job though and it was nice to get a couple family photographs in during the session as well. Thanks Eric & Tiffany!
