Elsie [Iowa City, IA Newborn Lifestyle Photography]

So many babies, I'm in photography heaven!! Elsie was born on February 22nd, making her just a couple weeks old when she made her photography debut. :) She's such a tiny little peanut!! She was a great baby, and it was a pleasure photographing her and her parents. Kayla Jones did a fabulous job with hair and makeup for Sarah, and Coelle did the styling for the session. I hope you guys enjoy this sneak peek!

Sarah and Dennis - thank you so much for inviting me into your home and trusting me to photograph such an exciting and special time for your family. xo - Jen

Rachel [Coralville, IA Maternity Photography]

My younger sister Rachel is expecting baby number two in just about 4 more weeks, and so last Sunday we had a quick session to document her pregnancy. It was such a beautiful day at the lake, and she looked so beautiful. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek! :)

Tru Salon Spring 2015 Editorial [Coralville, IA Editorial Photography]

Every season Tru Salon plans an inspirational, editorial photo shoot to show off one of the trends of the season. They choose one image from the session and it becomes art in the salon. This is such a fun, different thing for me to do as an artist, and I always have a great time working with the ladies from Tru. Kayla Jones did the hair, and Justin Kahler was the male model - showing off the "man bun" trend. Enjoy!

Willow [North Liberty, IA Pet Photography]

It's no secret that I love dogs, so when Dr. Streeter from the Eastern Iowa Veterinary Specialty Center contacted me about photographing her beloved Willow, I jumped at the chance. I adored this session, meeting and hanging out with this sweet old pup, and I hope to do more sessions like this in the future. :) I hope these photos bring a smile to your face today too!

One thing Willow loves? Having something in her mouth, constantly. She is a retriever after all. ;)

The J Family + Ellie: Age 2 [Coralville, IA Maternity, Child, and Family Photography]

I've been photographing this family since Elizabeth and Eric were expecting Ellie, and now she's 2! Seems like time just flies by, and now they are expecting their second child. Photographing a family as they grow is one of my favorite things about this job, and these guys are some of the best people I know. I can't wait to meet their new addition, but until then, check out these adorable photos!

Sloane: Newborn, Part Two [North Liberty, IA Lifestyle Newborn and Family Photography]

Sloane's lifestyle newborn session took place when she was just 8 days old, and this little sweetie was a perfect model. Big brother Colin also made his photo debut, and had a great time laughing at all of Coelle's animal impressions (which I still haven't seen but apparently they are hilarious, maybe someday...). I loved every single part of this session, and Shelby looked AMAZING - seriously, can you believe she had a baby 8 days prior?

Shelby and Joe - thank you so much for inviting us into your home and for the opportunity to photograph your growing family. It was a pleasure!!

Shelby's hair and makeup by Kayla Jones, styling by Coelle.
