Isaiah is 6 months old!

You may remember this little man from his newborn photoshoot, boy oh boy is he a changing boy!

Matt and I had SO MUCH FUN doing this shoot. Jackee showed up and right away said she was worried, Isaiah wasn't in the best mood. You could have never guessed it by the way that he acted with us. He was a PERFECT little boy. Smiled, laughed, and did everything perfectly for us.

Isn't he just a stinking cutie?!


I think he's wishing they would let go so he could walk on his own... not quite little man, maybe for your 1 year session! =)


What a perfect smile!!!



So in love with mom and dad!

Duncan Maternity Session

I've been holding out on posting Anne and Travis' maternity shoot pictures because less than 24 hours after we took these pictures about 5 weeks ago, Anne went into premature labor. Now that their precious twin boys are here, and just moved out of the NICU, here are their awesome photos. (Newborn pictures of the twins to come soon!)

How beautiful is her TWIN belly?! I'm pretty sure my belly right now, at only 4 months pregnant, already looks worse than this! =)



One last picture of peace and calmness between just Anne and Travis before the boys arrive.

Hudson - Newborn photography

Last weekend Matt and I traveled to Omaha to photograph this beautiful babe and his awesome parents Jonathan and Krissy.

Isn't he gorgeous?!




I love the bond that can be seen in a photograph between a brand new mom and her precious newborn!



A little daddy love!

A beautiful new family.






And looked who got to come hang out for the day, grandpa and grandma!


Thanks for a wonderful day, we had so much fun with you guys. And a final picture because we've never had a picture taken of us taking pictures, I love this one, thanks Jane!

Isaiah 3 months {cedar falls/waterloo, IA children's photographer}

Last fall Matt and I had a blast hanging out with Jackee and Shane during their maternity shoot. THen in late December Matt and I got to shoot Isaiah's precious newborn pictures . A week ago we got the pleasure of hanging out with this little man again!


Jackee & Shane love this little boy to pieces!


Isaiah has the cutest little lady-killer smile!


How cute was this hat that Jackee had picked up for Isaiah to wear?!



This is why I can't wait for 6 month pictures!

An Olympic Gold Medalist!

Last week a very famous Olympian was in town speaking about the 6 pillars or character for a huge crowd of girl scouts and people from the community. Matt and I were asked by the girl scouts to take photographs of Shawn Johnson with each of the VIP groups after the presentation. We were definitely thrilled to have the opportunity to meet a gymnast who has won an Olympic gold medal!

She was very kind, humble, and sweet. She took time to sign each and every picture, leotard, and paper that was handed to her. We had a blast hanging out with her for a while.

**Funny side story- She had finished her press conference and had some extra time before her talk so she was looking out through the glass at all of the people entering the arena. As she was standing there there were about 15 adults in the room that all stood 20 feet away staring (myself included). I felt bad that no one was really talking to her so I took it upon myself to walk up to her, and ask her what she thought of this years Dancing with the Stars competitors (since she won last year, I figured she had an opinion). So we began a ten minute conversation about all of the stars and what she thought of them. She was super kind and it was weird to be having such a "normal" conversation with her.

Anyway, what you really came to see were the pictures, so here are just a few.
(Please ignore the fact that we look like mammoths!)

Children's Photography - Grace & Olivia

About a week ago I was able to photograph some very sweet little girls, Grace and Olivia. Her mom and I had quite the time keeping Olivia happy, but it was well worth it! I'm never afraid to make a fool of myself for a good laugh, so yes... I danced. Something not many people have had to see, but these two girls did.



Love how sweet they look in this picture, and they totally are sweeties!


Olivia just turned a year old and is definitely on the move these days!


Grace just turned 4 years old, what a cutie!


How can you not love two girls in tutus?!




And last but not least, if people sent Easter cards out this would definitely be my favorite one to receieve:

Happy Easter - Enjoy Your Candy Before Someone Steals it!



Still to come this week:
1) Someone =) got to take this girl's VIP pictures last week.


2) Baby Isaiah's very adorable 3 month pictures.

A cool photograph lunchbox!

Looking for an awesome way to be able to see your photographs each day?! Then this is the perfect solution for you. After your photo session pick out a few of your favorite, fun photographs and they will come back on a lunchbox! I love this idea. I think it is so fun, allows you to "show" off your family, and will bring a smile to your face every day at lunch. Make sure you let me know if this is something that you are interested in, if you have already had your photo shoot with Matt and I we can order these (in 3 sizes) for you now, or if you are looking forward to a photo shoot with us we can order one for you after. Happy lunching!
