The K Family [North Liberty, IA Family and Child Photography]

Sweet Kinsley, I haven't seen this peanut since her newborn session last fall! She has changed so much, walking all over the place and I love her little smile. We had a great time out at the lake for their family session this year, one of my favorite things is catching up with clients every year! I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from their session. Can you spot the one where we recreated a maternity shot? ;)

The A Family [Ankeny, IA Family and Child Photography]

This session with the A family at their beautiful Ankeny home was definitely a lot warmer than the last session (we had snow!!) and for that I think we were all grateful! It had been 2 years since I photographed Kelly, Jon, Claire, and Jack (and of course, Lucy, that sweet ball of fluff!) so it was great to catch up and see these guys!

Here are a handful of my favorites, and one hilarious outtake that I couldn't help but include in their gallery because it made me laugh so hard!

Casey + Matt [Iowa City, IA Maternity Photography]

Casey and Matt were one of my wedding couples last year, so when they emailed me to tell me they were expecting and that they would love for me to photograph their maternity + newborn session I was thrilled!! I just adore these guys, their October wedding last year was so gorgeous and we had a great time spending the day with them. I can't wait to meet their new addition!!

Allison + Rob [West Bend, IA Wedding Photography]

Allison and Rob were married on October 3rd, on a beautiful fall day at his parents' farm in West Bend, IA. The ceremony took place beneath a canopy of trees, under an arbor that Rob's dad built and where everyone in his family has been married. Amanda from Memories in the Making Event Planning & Design did a fabulous job with the ceremony decor of hay bales and vintage seating, and the aisle lined with mason jars of flowers on shepard hooks for an eclectic feel.

Allison and Rob are some of the best people I know, and I'm privileged to now call them not only clients, but friends. I definitely shed a tear or two at this one guys!! These two are truly some of the most genuine, kind, and funny people I've ever met. Oh, and every woman should have a man that looks at her the way Rob looks at Allison. It's really something special, and she just lights up when he looks at her.

Ok, I think that's enough gushing for now - this is a REALLY big blog post, so my apologies if it takes forever to load but I promise it's worth it. Allison and Rob - thank you so much for choosing me to be a part of your day, and I'm so glad we have become friends. I wish you guys the best always.
