Courtney + Corbin [Iowa City, IA Engagement Photography]

You know when you meet people and just hit it off immediately? That's how I feel about Courtney and Corbin. Not only are they gorgeous, they are so kind and fun to be around. I am beyond excited for their July wedding in downtown Iowa City, and if their engagement session was any indication, it's going to be a blast. For their engagement, we wandered around town - hung out in some alleys, got heckled by a bicyclist, and balanced precariously on a broken swing. Typical Iowa City, right? ;) Here are some of my favorites from their session!

The W Family: Day in the Life [Naperville Lifestyle Photographer]

I will never, ever get sick of photographing these Day in the Life sessions! A couple of weeks ago I spent the morning at the W family's home, with their two sweet little boys. Lawrence was feeling under the weather, but perked up after a treatment to help his wheezing and coughing. We had a very relaxed session, just letting it unfold as we went along. My favorite part was how excited Lawrence was about his shark head, so darn cute.

I can't resist pointing out that these are the perfect type of session for the upcoming winter season! You can hang out inside where it's warm and cozy, but if the kids want to play outdoors, you just bundle them up and send them (and me) out to play in the snow! Easy peasy, and very chill -- one thing Kaitlin mentioned is that her and Kyle used to get photos every year around their anniversary before they had kiddos. Now, she is terrified of the thought of a traditional photo session with two littles - making sure everyone looks great, diapers are clean, no one is in a bad mood, everyone has full bellies...yikes! If you feel the same way, this type of session is for you!

*I chose all black and white for this post because I loved how they turned out, but all Day in the Life sessions get the option of color or black and white in their galleries. :)

The K Family [Naperville Family and Maternity Photography]

This family is so fun to photograph every year - Kinsley is so full of personality and I just love how sassy she is! Jessie and Andrew are expecting baby #2, so this was a combo family and maternity shoot, two of my faves. It was truly the perfect fall day, and the location we used had gorgeous leaves everywhere. Here are some of my favorites from their session, enjoy!
