First Comes Love

I wanted to get a few more images posted from this session. I think Rich is marrying a model. I mean look at her. *Gygy your beautiful* Congrats again you two!

Thursday Teaser

I did some engagement photographs of my brother in law & his fiance yesterday. It was fun, although it was ridiculously hot out. I live in Iowa - it shouldn't get that hot even if it is July. That is my opinion at least.

Despite the temperature we got some beautiful images. This one was taken a little after 7:30 p.m. How pretty is that light?

I would love to hear your comments!

Photo Challenge: Water

When I found out that this weeks challenge was water, I had to use this image. This is one of the many senior photographs that I took of my little sister. There was no way she wasn't going to sit right in the middle of this waterfall (even though the water was frigid).

Check out iheartfaces for more water pics!

Emily ~ Class of 2011

So here are some more images from Emily's session. We were able to incorporate alot of things that were meaningful to Emily & I think it showed in her photographs.

These next two photographs were taken in loving memory of Emily's best friend Maddie who died in 2006.

Sneak Peek - Meet Emily

This is EMILY. She is pretty much just awesome. We had so much fun running around today & getting a crazy amount of pictures. I think we hit it off so well that you never would have guessed that we just met for the first time!

Check back in a couple days for some more!

Wall Art

I have recently become aware that I only have photographs of people up on my walls. Don't get me wrong, I love photographing people - that's why I am a photographer. So I challenged myself to come up with something fun & fresh. Here is one of the options I came up with. It is still a photograph but a fun twist on tulips in a vase, so if you come over for a session you just might see this hanging on my wall!

Happy Monday!

A pretty picture...

This week has been a long & difficult one, so what better to post than a pretty picture.

This from a wedding I did back in April, and this alley was really gross.

I mean dirty, darkish, trash on the ground gross.

It also had graffiti - but I don't classify that as gross.

I hope you liked this pic as much as me, have a good Tuesday!

What to wear for a mommy-to-be session...

I don't know if you have noticed this but it seems like everyone is having babies right now. Things like that usually come in spurts. I happen to love maternity photographs. It is a fun way to celebrate this little miracle. I think this is probably one of the hardest sessions to figure out what to wear so here are some ideas that would photograph well.

Hope this helps!

Favorite Thing (for now)...

Ok so my new favorite thing is squares with rounded corners.

I don't know why. Maybe because they are fun & playful yet still sophisticated.

I wanted to come up with some fun designs using my new favorite thing, & here is what I came up with. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment if you would like to :)
