Haylie turns a year old today!

Wow, it's hard to believe how quickly a year goes by.

Thanks for letting me be a part of Haylie's first one Seth & Amy!

Be sure to check out the slideshow at the bottom of this post...

November

It is November again and here in Iowa that means cold. Although this past Saturday it was pretty close to 70 degrees outside so I really can't complain (that is not normal for Iowa, this year has been odd). This morning however it was not even close to 70 outside closer to 20 something - that's not very technical I know but I am not a weather person. On Saturday I sat outside with capris and a t shirt, today however I had to motivate myself to bundle up. By bundle up I mean hat, gloves, the whole nine yards. I think it was worth it though because I got to capture some pretty images of the frost still on the ground. All these photographs were taken in my front yard, so I didn't have to go far, my hands were happy when I did come in though.

I love the color of this last one. Hopefully when we get our first snow I will be motivated enough to get a few images to share on the blog. Check back in a few weeks!

Smith Family Slideshow

Here are a few more of my favorites from your session...

...and here is the slideshow of all the images. 

I hope you love your images, & remember I love your comments!

Meet the Smiths

Well, this is what I have been up to lately...

I had a fun afternoon with this family, how could I not when all 10 of them were willing to jump in the air at their session? 

Thanks for letting me get to know your family a little bit better!

More photos to come, but for now enjoy this preview.

Barb, you are stunning!

Monica's Save the Date's

Save the date's are a fun way to let people know that 

YOUR GETTING MARRIED!

Here is a design that I edited & designed for my sister in law, Gygy.

Her sister, Monica, is from Washington & is getting married next year. 

Monica had a friend do the photography & she did a really nice job!

Here is the design that I came up with...

Monica did a great job of personalizing her session, I love that she made the sign with her date to use as a prop in her photographs, she also saw an image like the one with the hands making the shape of a heart & wanted a photograph like it. Monica also knew that she liked the vintage coloring, so we incorporated that.

If you are a bride, decide what style you like & want to show in your engagement session. There are so many directions that you can go, so try to make it personal & YOU! Add little touches that mean something to you & your fiance. Then you can look back at that special time in your life for years to come!

Allyn's Collage

I have been saving this image for this very purpose...

Hope you had a wonderful day, we were thinking of you!

Family Session

Frank & Andrea

This last set makes me laugh! You two are too funny. I hope you like your images... hopefully I will be able to post more from your family session later on today!

Miss Payton

Here is a little teaser of what is yet to come on the blog for Payton's Senior Session.

Payton this image is ridiculous! Let me tell you, your model face ROCKS! When I was going through your images for the first time this one really stood out. This is my favorite image from your session, I like it so much that I couldn't decide if it is better in color or black & white. Let me know what you think!

Something Pretty for a Tuesday

Here is a quick post of a session that I did a few days ago.

All the images turned out so well, I was thrilled.

Andrea & Frank, Thank you so much, I had a great time with you & your family!

Little Ones

Here is a session I did recently over in Elma IA.

Grandma had gotten matching outfits for these 3 cousins & wanted a few photos taken. Sadly, it was an icky  rainy day. We decided to make the best of it though & play inside.

I hope you like your images, thank you for letting me spend some time getting to know the kids!

Here is your slid show!
