Tru Salon Winter 2014 Editorial Shoot [Coralville, IA Editorial Photography]

These sessions I get to do with Tru Salon are so much fun, and this one with Chika modeling are some of my favorites. We got a little creative with the fan action and love how it turned out! Hair by Holly, makeup by Kayla (and Kayla did a fabulous job adding the "wind"). Love!!

The B Family [Iowa City, IA Family and Child Photography]

Love this family! Julie, Sean, and their kiddos are always a ton of fun and definitely keep me on my toes. ;) We met this time downtown for their annual family photo, and as always, we had a blast hanging out. I can't believe how much the kids have changed since last year, especially Lauren.

Huge thanks to Ashley for assisting, and I hope you all like this sneak peek!

Allison + Rob [Coralville, IA Engagement Photography]

I was keeping my fingers crossed big time for good weather for this engagement session with Allison and Rob, as Rob is in the Marines and was only home for a brief window before heading back to California. Luckily, we had a beautiful night and ahhhmazing sun flare - so much goodness - for their session at Fossil Gorge.

I had met Allison prior to the session, and adored her, so I wasn't surprised when I met Rob and thought he was fantastic as well! I am SO beyond thrilled they chose us to shoot their October 2015 wedding. :) I hope you guys love this sneak peek!

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

I met up with the Z Family on a beautiful Sunday evening for their family photos, and we had so much fun. Turns out, they know my husband Josh's family, though I had never met them - so it was very nice to finally meet a family I'd heard a lot about!

Amy & Brad - your family is lovely, and I had so much fun photographing you all. I hope you like this sneak peek!!

Kelly + Ryan [Iowa City, IA Engagement Photography]

Kelly and Ryan are planning an August 2015 wedding and I have been looking forward to their engagement session since they booked! Third time was a charm in terms of weather, and we had an absolutely gorgeous fall day for their photos. These two are absolutely adorable together, and we had a blast getting to know them better.

Kelly & Ryan - Thank you SO much for choosing us to photograph your engagement and wedding. We had so much fun with you both and cannot WAIT until your wedding next summer. I hope you love this sneak peek.

Ashley [Iowa City, IA Editorial Photography]

This post features a personal project that was a collaboration alongside Holly Richter from Tru Salon in Coralville (one super talented lady!!). We have been getting together several times this year to do some editorial shoots for Tru, and have been having so much fun and feeling so inspired that we decided to work together to keep our passion for what we do going strong and creative juices flowing.

I love what I do, photographing families, children, etc but there's something very freeing about shooting just for myself. This project has opened up my creativity and reignited my passion for photography in ways I didn't expect. I really love these little projects, and I hope you do too! Thanks to my assistant Ashley for modeling, she did awesome!
