Coelle, Chris, and Julian [Iowa City, IA Maternity and Family Photography]

This family....I don't even know where to begin. I met them when Julian was a newborn, and their session changed the direction of my business. When we got together again for Julian's 6 month session, we all went out for dinner after and have been friends ever since! My favorite thing about these three is how funny they are and how much they love to laugh.

Over the past year, Coelle has become such a great friend to me and also started working with me as an assistant/stylist. We've had so much fun working together, and she's become a fabulous photographer along the way - I can't wait to see what next year will bring!

Coelle and Chris are expecting baby #2 in mid-September (does she not look completely amazing?! I mean...) and I am personally dying to know if it's a boy or girl! Julian will be such a great big brother, and baby #2 is so very lucky to have such wonderful parents.

Speaking of Julian - this kid is my absolute favorite person on the planet. For real.

To sum it up - these three are gorgeous, funny, and some of the best people I know. I am so lucky to call them friends, and it was an honor to photograph this time in their lives! I hope you enjoy this preview...

Meredith + Andrew [Iowa City, IA Engagement Photography]

Meredith and Andrew are planning a July 2015 wedding, and I am so excited to be photographing these two. Their engagement session was so much fun, I can only imagine what their big day will be like!

Despite the massive amounts of bugs, these two had a beautiful evening for their engagement photos in Iowa City. One of their favorite things to do together is play games, so they also brought along cards to incorporate into their session.

Meredith and Andrew - thank you so much for an awesome session and I can't wait until July! I hope you love this sneak peek.

Cassidy + Travis [North Liberty, IA Maternity Photography]

Cassidy and Travis are expecting their first little one in August, and they were kind enough to volunteer to be subjects for Coelle to do some more practicing on a gorgeous Monday evening at Lake MacBride. Coelle and I photographed this session together, as I couldn't resist - is Cassidy not the most beautiful pregnant woman you've ever seen?

Cassidy and Travis - thank you so much for giving your time and we hope you like this sneak peek! We wish you the best with your new little one when he or she arrives, and good luck in TX!
