Colby + Ashlee

I had the honor of photographing Ashlee & Colby's engagement session in West Des Moines. Ashlee had a lot of great ideas that were fun to photograph! They were such a great couple to photograph, as they have so much chemistry that it really shows in their photographs. It was a warm afternoon, but a beautiful day & some great locations. I got a lot of photographs that were just "in the moment" and turned out great! I had a hard time just picking a few photographs to post for their sneak peak, as there were so many great & fun ones to choose from! Congratulations again Ashlee & Colby, I can't wait to photograph your wedding day!

Brian's Senior Sneak Peak

I had the honor of photographing part of Brian's Senior Session this past Winter which was a lot of fun since it was a change for me. I had the opportunity to photograph the rest of his session a couple weekends ago which was just as fun. I was worried about the weather as it was raining first thing in the morning, but it stopped just in time for us to get some great photographs outside! I wish you the best of luck in your future & thanks again for letting me photograph your Senior Session!

Frehse Wedding Sneak Peak

I had the honor of photographing Kyla & Chris's wedding a couple weekends ago in Humboldt, IA. They had such a beautiful day which made for some great outdoor photographs. Kyla & Chris had a very fun & energetic wedding party that kept me busy & on my toes the whole day (especially the groomsmen). Debbie Zeimet did an amazing job with Kyla & all of the bridesmaids make up! This was a perfect ending to my wedding season 2013. Congratulations Chris & Kyla, thanks again for letting me photograph your wedding day!

Asbe Wedding Sneak Peak

Eric & Melanie had asked me to photograph their wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico May 31, 2013. I was so honored that they had asked me to share this experience with them & photograph their wedding day! It was my first destination wedding & I hope to get the chance to photograph more in the future. It was such a beautiful day, I couldn't have asked for better weather, although it was very warm. The sky was so blue and a white beach! Congratulations Eric & Melanie, thanks again for asking me to photograph your wedding day!

Fletcher Wedding Sneak Peak

I had the honor of photographing Abby & Dave's wedding over Memorial weekend. I enjoyed photographing their wedding day, even though it was a rainy morning, they always say rain on your wedding day is good luck & we were able to make the best out of it. They had one of the largest wedding parties I have photographed but they were all so much fun to work with & easy going. I enjoyed photographing such a special day for the two of them. Congratulations Abby & Dave!

Chris + Kyla

I had the honor of photographing Kyla & Chris's engagement session in Ames. We had to reschedule numerous times due to this crazy weather we have been having this spring. Although this morning was beautiful & sunny, it had to sprinkle/rain on us in the afternoon during the session, however I was still able to get some great photographs of these high school sweet hearts. The rain didn't ruin their moods or mine, we were still able to make the best out of the time we had! Late June we will be getting together to have another mini session & I can't wait :)

Humboldt Community Photo Exhibit- Europe Trip

August 9th-20th I traveled to Europe with my friend Jaimie Reetz. This Trip had several "firsts" for me such as, applying for a passport, flying on an airplane, photographing such a beautiful country, & having a once in a lifetime experience with such a close friend. When Jaimie first asked me to go on this trip, I don't think she was expecting an answer so fast, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity & what perfect timing in my life. Traveling to Paris has always been a dream of mine, & I was glad we were able to fit that into our schedule. This trip was a great way to spend time with Jaimie before she went back to Africa for 2 years, & I would do it all over again!

I had the opportunity of displaying 4 photographs for the Humboldt Community Photo Exhibit this March & asked for your help by "liking" the photograph of your choice on facebook.  The Exhibit's opening night was March 14th with over 150 photographs!  These were the 4 photographs I printed to be displayed.
