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!
