Toni + Dustin

   

I had the honor of photographing Toni & Dustin's engagement session this last Sunday in Charles City. We had to reschedule a few months ago due to weather & although it was sunny, it was very cold during their session. I enjoyed getting to know both of them & they were defiantly a fun couple to photograph! They did great considering the temperature outside & since I had never been to Charles City before, they had some great locations picked out. I can't wait to photograph their wedding this summer, congratulations again Toni & Dustin! Thanks for letting me share this special moment in your lives.

Eric + Danielle

 

 I had the honor of photographing Danielle & Eric's engagement session last Sunday in Cedar Falls, IA. We were originally going to do the photo session in Ames, IA a few weekends ago, however the weather was rainy & last Sunday turned out to be perfect weather! I forgot how much I love photographing around Main Street Cedar Falls, there are so many great opportunities.
Danielle & Eric looked great, I loved their clothing. I know this time of year can be difficult to decide what is appropriate, but they did a wonderful job with colors & layers.
I loved photographing their session, as I worked with both of them while I was attending Hawkeye Community College at Fareway in Waterloo. I enjoyed catching up and learning about what they are both doing now. They were so easy to photograph as they were up for anything & had such great chemistry that showed through the photographs, they made my job easy! I had such a hard time just picking a few to show for their sneak peak, eeeek I love so many!
Congratulations Danielle & Eric, I can't wait to photograph your wedding in June!

Pilling Fall 2013 Sneak Peak

 I had the honor of photographing Nick & Jessica again this Fall. This has been my fourth session with them & I always look forward to the time I get to spend with them! Nick & Jessica are always outgoing, funny & willing to try new locations or ideas. Jessica always has amazing ideas & great clothing selections for the sessions, she is awesome! The first date got rained out, which turned into a blessing as the trees turned so much more over the weeks and were absolutely beautiful, I couldn't have asked for a better Fall day. Boston their adorable dog has even become more photogenic over the years, or it could be the doggy treats ;) Nick even got into this Fall Session by scouting out an awesome trail near their home for some amazing photographs as well. I had such a hard time picking just a few photographs to share for their Sneak Peak as there were so many amazing photographs, so enjoy! Thanks again for letting me photograph your family over the past couple years Nick & Jessica!

Reed's Senior Sneak Peak

 

I had the honor of getting to know Reed & photograph his Senior Session when I was in Humboldt a few weekends ago. Reed is very energetic young man who stays busy with school, sports, FFA & Bow Hunting. Reed has traveled to several places of North America and is well known for his Bow Hunting. I had the honor of re-creating a photograph with Reed, that was originally of his father on a cover of a hunting magazine. Thanks again Reed for letting me photograph your Senior Session.

Brayden's Newborn Sneak Peak

 

 

 

I had the honor of photographing my friend/co-workers newborn boy awhile back, can you say adorable!?! One thing I like to do when photographing newborns is to actually travel to the clients home so the baby can be in his/her natural surroundings. I was excited to photograph his Newborn Session & to photograph some house divided photographs as Vanessa is an Iowa fan & Doug is an Iowa State fan. I got some adorable photographs with hats on, but look at all that dark hair!
I was able to visit Vanessa, Doug & Brayden the day he was born and have seen him grow so much already. Congratulations again Vanessa & Doug on your handsome baby boy!

Brooklynn's 1 Sneak Peak

 

I had the honor of photographing little miss Brooklynn who just turned 1 this October. I have had the opportunity to photograph Nick & Jessica Pilling's family session at least once a year for a few years now & have now gotten to photograph Jessica's adorable niece Brooklynn! I was glad we were able to get some family photographs with Jeff & Michelle as well, Jessica was prepared & had some great ideas!  I was lucky once again with some awesome fall weather. Thank you for letting me photograph your adorable little girl & family Jeff & Michelle!

Sarah's Senior Sneak Peak

 

 

 I had the honor of photographing Sarah's Senior Session a few weekends ago when I was in Humboldt. I had photographed her brother's senior session a few years ago & her sister's wedding this past August, so I was really looking forward to getting to know Sarah better. Sarah came to the session prepared with ideas & all of her sporting equipment, which made for some awesome photographs! I have been very lucky with this amazing weather, perfect temperature & a nice overcast so we weren't restricted to any outdoor locations. Thanks for letting me photograph your senior session Sarah!
