BriAnne & Colby [Iowa City, IA After Session]

This year I gained two new "brothers" as two of my sisters were married this fall. Bri and Colby were married in a small, intimate ceremony in Las Vegas on November 3rd, and so we planned an "after" session to get them some beautiful photos to document their marriage. We were lucky to have a sun soaked Saturday evening for the session, and although I'm probably biased, I thought the images turned out beautifully!!

Bri and Colby - it's wonderful seeing you both so happy! I wish you nothing but happiness now, and always. I love you both.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I feel like this year I have so much to be thankful for - great friends, family, and two little puppies that keep me on my toes. I'm so grateful for incredible clients who allow me to do what I love, thank you all so much for every opportunity you've given me this year. I'm also very thankful for Mindy Myers, who gave me the chance to second shoot with her this year. I learned so much and had such a wonderful time!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving, enjoy every minute with your loved ones!

Jeff, Rena, Blake, and Reese [Oh, and Griz too!] - [North Liberty, IA Family Photography]

Rena recently gave her boyfriend Jeff a gift certificate for photos as a birthday gift, as he had mentioned he had very few photos of him and the kids. (Gift certificates are a great gift idea, I might add!) We did their session on Sunday, November 4th, and although it was a little overcast, for early November the temperatures weren't too bad.

Blake is 11 and Reese is 4, and I really don't think these two kids could get much cuter. Blake was a natural in front of the camera, and once Reese opened up a bit, she did a fabulous job as well (aren't those blue eyes just gorgeous?!?). These two, paired with Rena, Jeff, and of course the professional dog model Griz, made for a great session. Rena, Jeff, Blake, and Reese - thank you for such a wonderful session, I hope you guys enjoy the preview!

Griz, super[model] dog in disguise? Rena warned me that Griz was a little crazy, but honestly he was SO well behaved. I really love when people include their pets in their photos, they are a part of the family after all!

This last set of images was when we had finished and were just playing around, Josh helped Rena and Jeff gather up leaves to throw on the kids. Even Griz got in on the fun!
