Elizabeth and Eric [Iowa City, IA Maternity Photography]

I feel as though I've gotten extremely lucky this year, not only with amazing clients but beautiful weather for sessions even into the week of Thanksgiving! Elizabeth and Eric's session took place on an absolutely gorgeous Wednesday afternoon in downtown Iowa City.

I had such a great time chatting with and getting to know these two, who are somewhat new arrivals to the Iowa City area from Chicago. Elizabeth and I share a love for delicious food, and puppies (of course) - and Josh chatted Eric's ear off about cars. I truly didn't want this session to end, but lucky for me I get to photograph their little one once he or she arrives in early January.

Elizabeth and Eric - Thank you so much for an amazing session, and for trusting me to document such an important time in your lives! You two are so much fun, and I look forward to seeing you guys again soon!

Seriously, is Elizabeth not the most gorgeous pregnant woman ever?  

















Elizabeth and Eric love to go to Molly's Cupcakes, and so we stopped by for a quick treat as well as a photo. This is definitely one of my faves as well, so cute!

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!
