Emily + Connor [Iowa City, IA Engagement Photography]

The week of Emily and Connor's engagement session, we got to spend some time getting to know each other over drinks and good food, which made their session even more fun. Emily is as sweet as can be, and I adore her style (she sells Stella & Dot, so she's always perfectly accessorized) and Connor's sense of humor is the best (as you will see in the photos, he makes Emily laugh constantly).

Emily and Connor are planning a May 2014 wedding at Celebration Farm, and I am very much looking forward to hanging out with these two on their big day. For their engagement session, we ended up with gorgeous weather and started out downtown and ended at Lake MacBride with their pup Bounce. Emily and Connor wanted to stop at the Sports Column, a place where their relationship began, and where they spent time together.

Emily and Connor - thank you so much for a fun and hilarious session. I am so excited to be a part of your wedding, and it's been a lot of fun getting to know you both better! I hope you like this sneak peek...

Laine: 1 Year [Iowa City, IA Child and Family Photography]

I can't believe it's been nearly a year since I photographed sweet Laine and her family - Eric, Stacy, and of course, Harvey. This little lady just turned one a couple of days before our session, and despite the early morning time and cool temps, Laine was awesome. She's crawling all over the place now, and I learned that she loves her "brother" Harvey, books, Cheerios, and soft, fuzzy blankets. Laine is also a big fan of nap-time, but who isn't?

Eric and Stacy - Thank you so much for choosing me to photograph Laine's one year session! It was wonderful seeing you all again, you guys are so great and I appreciate you very much. I hope you like this sneak peek of your little family! :)

Cheryl + Tyler [Iowa City, IA Engagement Photography]

I say this constantly, but I truly wouldn't if it weren't true...I have THE BEST clients. Cheryl and Tyler are absolutely no exception - I totally want to hang out with these two! They had a cold, windy day for their session but were such good sports about the whole thing and we had a fabulous time wandering around Kent Park.

Cheryl and Tyler met while working at the University of Iowa hospital, and now they are planning an August 2014 wedding at the First United Methodist Church and Hotel Vetro. I'm so thrilled to be photographing their day - they are so cute together, and we all had a ton of fun hanging out.

Cheryl and Tyler - thank you again for a fabulous session, you guys are awesome!! :) I hope you like this sneak peek - can't wait for August!

Ashley + Brad [Solon, IA Lake MacBride Engagement Photography]

Ashley and Brad met when they just so happened to live next to each other one summer while they were in college. The rest, as they say, is history - now they are planning a September 2014 wedding in Williamsburg.

I am pretty sure we all laughed for the entire session, and my abs were aching the next day (though that was possibly from my bendy, and very impressive, yoga moves haha). I'm guessing their wedding day will be a blast as well, and I'm looking forward to it now more than ever.

Ashley and Brad - You two are hilarious, adorable, and SO much fun to be around. I am so grateful to have met you and can't wait to be a part of your wedding day!! I hope you like this sneak peek!
