The H Family [Odebolt, IA Family and Baby Lifestyle Photography]

My niece Bristol first appeared on the blog at only four days old, and I returned to Odebolt to photograph her along with her parents - my sister BriAnne and her husband Colby. This little peanut has changed so much since I took her photos the last time, she is smiling and wide eyed, which is so fun to see! I adore this little girl, and I hope you all like this sneak peek!

Bristol has a sweet cousin, on Colby's side - named Lyncon. They were born 3 weeks apart and Grandma wanted a holiday pic of these two cuties! Love their little outfits. bristol-blog-14

Josie: 6 Months [Iowa City, IA Child and Family Lifestyle Photography]

It was SO great to see Josie, and her parents Pattie & Benton recently for her 6 month session. This little girl is such a cutie pie, and it is always fun to see how my newborns have grown since I photographed them last!

Josie's cousins were in town, so we got a couple photos of them as well...and we can't forget Ruby (one of my favorite pups!!). This little family is the sweetest, and I can't wait to see Josie again at her 1 year session!

Pattie and Benton - Thank you both so much for a wonderful session and for inviting me back into your home for Josie's 6 month milestone. It is always great to see you guys, I hope you love the sneak peek!

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

I photographed the A Family a little over a week ago at their gorgeous home in Ankeny, on a very cold, snow covered Sunday. This family was so sweet and so much fun to be around. Claire is not only beautiful but also a very accomplished gymnest (I even got to see her handstand) and Jack is just so funny and sweet, I seriously considered just taking him home. Ha. And then of course, there is Lucy - their Wheaten Terrier puppy who is just an adorable ball of fluff (those eyes kill me!!). Kelly and Jon were gracious, kind, and just some of the most lovely people I've met this year.

We took several photos indoors, but did manage to get a few photos outside in their backyard next to a creek that Kelly loves. Again, I can't say enough good things about this family - they are so fantastic!!

Kelly and Jon - Thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your family - it was so wonderful getting to know you all. I hope you like this sneak peek!
