Jordan, Jenny, Elijah & Timothy

Jordan and Jenny contacted us a while back to see if we could take some family photos of them while they were back in town for a weekend visit. We of course said yes, look at this family, how could we say no?! =)








Jenny and Jordan had the fabulous idea of taking some pictures inside the UNI Dome where Jordan played football in high school and in college... I think their destined for another football player in the family.









I about died when I saw how cute Timothy looked in his little dinosaur hoodie!







Jenny's love for her two little boys was so apparent, I just loved watching them interact.



Elijah will be two pretty soon and I think he takes the cake for being the longest cooperating 2 year old we've had- thanks Elijah!











We had a great morning with you guys, (even if the sun decided not to show up) thanks for being so much fun!

Kevin + Amanda, Cedar Falls, IA Engagement Photographs

Kevin & Amanda are getting married next July, and we couldn't be more excited! (Especially after we finished this session- they were SO easy to work with, they truly made our job easy!)



Kevin drives a corvette and Amanda had emailed me a few weeks before their session to see if they could bring the car- absolutely! I LOVE when clients have fun props, ideas, locations that they want to use to make their pictures unique. This is one of my favorite pictures! And, this is what they will be driving after the ceremony, I can't wait to get this picture on the wedding day!



We headed to a prairie area just as the sun was setting and as Amanda got out of the car I knew that this was going to be on of my favorite outfit-location combos, see what I mean?!


I think these two may be the best "serious" faces we've seen in a while, love it!




Too cute, and so in love!


Kevin and Amanda, we can't wait to spend your wedding day with you in July!

Corinne & Belief

Corinne's mom contacted me this summer about taking her two oldest daughters pictures. Each daughter was able to choose what she wanted to do for her pictures. That's where Belief comes in. Corinne has been taking horse back riding lessons for a while now and wanted her pictures with the horse that she rides, how fun is that?!

Meet Corinne & Belief (Could she be any cuter?!)


So a few Saturdays ago Matt and I got to meet up with Corinne and Belief for a late afternoon photoshoot. The weather and light were awesome!


Corinne is just about the sweetest 2nd grader you could ever meet. As you can see by these pictures her smile is amazing, and she is obviously in love with Belief.


We get the pleasure of hanging out with Corinne's older sister and family in just a few weeks. Check back to see the cool spot her sister picked for pictures!

An Awesome 60th Birthday Present

I was contacted by this family because all their mother wanted for her 60th birthday was a family photo shoot, how cool is that?! We knew we were going to have our hands full with lots of kids under 4 years old, but I think we were able to accomplish exactly what "grandma", as I called her for the day, wanted. Thanks for a great morning Barnett gang!

Meet the Barnett's!





Grandma & Grandpa with all of their grandchildren:


Happy Birthday "grandma"!

Wagoner Family

How cute is this family?!?




Matt and I had the joy of hanging out with the 6 family members of the Wagoner family recently. Between Bridgette and Chas making us laugh as much as we were trying to make their kids laugh, it was hard not to enjoy this session.

Mom love!

Matt climbed behind some fallen trees to get this photo, I love the simplicity of it.


These guys were up for anything, even laying on the ground in the middle of a busy sidewalk, thanks for being daring!


So in love!

Would this not be the most beautiful canvas?!


Thanks for a wonderful (but incredibly sweaty) afternoon! =)

Ali, Class of 2011 Waverly-Shellrock Senior

Matt and I met up with our first senior of the year, Ali, just as it was starting to storm right where we were going to take her pictures. The storms never even phased Ali. She was such a trooper! We headed off to an alley to start while we still had some dry ground.



How beautiful are her eyes?!


Love your serious face Ali!





We then dodged some rain drops and ended up by this awesome bridge.


Finally we were able to find this great tree JUST as the storm was starting.


We had so much fun running around town with you Ali! We hope you have an awesome senior year and enjoy Arizona next year!

Duncan Twins' Newborn Photo Shoot, Cedar Falls, Iowa

I recently had the opportunity to spend the afternoon with Anne, Travis, Leyton & Riley. These two babies were perfect! They slept like champs and none of even got peed on, now that's amazing with a naked baby boy, let alone TWO of them!

The beautiful new family of four:
