Willow [North Liberty, IA Pet Photography]

It's no secret that I love dogs, so when Dr. Streeter from the Eastern Iowa Veterinary Specialty Center contacted me about photographing her beloved Willow, I jumped at the chance. I adored this session, meeting and hanging out with this sweet old pup, and I hope to do more sessions like this in the future. :) I hope these photos bring a smile to your face today too!

One thing Willow loves? Having something in her mouth, constantly. She is a retriever after all. ;)

The J Family + Ellie: Age 2 [Coralville, IA Maternity, Child, and Family Photography]

I've been photographing this family since Elizabeth and Eric were expecting Ellie, and now she's 2! Seems like time just flies by, and now they are expecting their second child. Photographing a family as they grow is one of my favorite things about this job, and these guys are some of the best people I know. I can't wait to meet their new addition, but until then, check out these adorable photos!

Sloane: Newborn, Part Two [North Liberty, IA Lifestyle Newborn and Family Photography]

Sloane's lifestyle newborn session took place when she was just 8 days old, and this little sweetie was a perfect model. Big brother Colin also made his photo debut, and had a great time laughing at all of Coelle's animal impressions (which I still haven't seen but apparently they are hilarious, maybe someday...). I loved every single part of this session, and Shelby looked AMAZING - seriously, can you believe she had a baby 8 days prior?

Shelby and Joe - thank you so much for inviting us into your home and for the opportunity to photograph your growing family. It was a pleasure!!

Shelby's hair and makeup by Kayla Jones, styling by Coelle.
