The B Family [North Liberty, IA Family Photography]

I met the B Family at Kent Park last Wednesday for their session, and these guys are awesome! Coming from a larger family myself (oldest of 6 kids), I felt right at home with this crowd. Sean and Julie's four kiddos kept me on my toes, and I loved every minute of it!! Truly, I had a blast hanging out with the entire family - Julie, Sean, Ethan, Caden, Logan, and Lauren - thanks for making me laugh! :)

Julie and Sean - thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your adorable family! It was so great getting to chat and hang out with you all. I hope you guys like this sneak peek...

Erin + Blake [Coralville and Marengo, IA Engagement Photography]

Erin and Blake are planning an August 2014 wedding at Celebration Farm's Timber Frame barn, after getting engaged this past July. These two met at work, and since they began hanging out as friends first, they can't officially agree on when they began dating. Erin wanted to take photos at Quinton's in Coralville, where they often went while they were dating, and still frequent. The second part of the plan was based a bit around the movie "Up" as Blake's (and Erin's future) last name is the same as the couple in the movie. I loved this session, meeting Dexter and Rocky, getting to know Erin and Blake a bit better, and hanging out at the farm owned by Blake's family.

Erin and Blake - it was so much fun hanging out with you guys, I wish you the best at your wedding next summer!! I hope you like this sneak peek...

My absolute fave from the session!

Kyle + Mike [Coralville, IA Engagement Photography]

Kyle and Mike are the best...not only are they adorable together, and so kind, but they have allowed me to come out to their home to hang out with Cocoa the goat twice. Truly, they know how to make my day. :)

Kyle and Mike attended City High together, but didn't begin dating until later, when they reconnected via Facebook (I believe Kyle said it best when she said "so Facebook IS good for something!"). They were engaged last Christmas, in the home they share together (along with their dog Duke, love him!). I am so excited for their Bella Sala wedding next June, but until then - enjoy this sneak peek of their engagement session!

Kyle & Mike - thank you guys so much for everything, it has been wonderful getting to know you, and I am thrilled to be a part of your wedding day!!

A unique part of their session was visiting a friend's farm, where Blue the deer was waiting for an evening snack. :)
