Finnley [North Liberty, IA Newborn Lifestyle Photography]

Sweet Finnley was 14 days old for his photo debut, and I cannot get over how snuggly and sweet he is! He loves his parents, his pacifier, and snuggly blankets and I had the best time photographing him.

It is always so much fun seeing new parents with their babies, especially if they did a maternity session with me. The excitement, wonder, and happiness is palpable and it's just such a fun experience.

Kaley and Patrick - Congratulations again on the birth of Finnley, he is adorable and so so sweet. I thank you again for the opportunity to photograph this time in your lives!

Finnley's nursery was adorable, and I especially loved the book collection, some of which were Patrick and Kaley's as children.

What to Wear: Spring Maternity [Iowa City, IA Maternity Photographer]

Spring is just around the corner (yesterday's weather was so nice, I'm pretty sure everyone on our block was busting out their grills for the season) and that means outdoor sessions! One of my favorite types of sessions to do are maternity, as it's such an exciting time for a couple as they await the arrival of their new little one.

If you are preparing for a spring maternity session, Coelle put together a couple looks to give you inspiration. Links are provided if you like any of the items shown, but as these are just meant to inspire you, check out your own closet to put together similar looks!

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

Tru Salon is one of my favorite places in the area, and I'm always amazed by the gorgeous hair and makeup that the stylists there produce. Not only are they all super talented, but incredibly nice as well and I always look forward to spending time at the salon.

Holly and Kayla have been doing editorial looks for every season for a few years now, and when they asked me to photograph this year's series I was thrilled. The session was definitely something new for me, but I had so much fun stepping outside of my comfort zone. I felt so incredibly inspired by this session, and can't wait to do it again soon!

Holly and Kayla - Thank you so much for choosing me to help you with your editorial shoots, I am so grateful to be a part of it. You guys are the best. Also huge thanks to Savanna for modeling, you are gorgeous girl!!
