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!

Like I said, is she not stunning?!

Porter [Iowa City, IA Lifestyle Newborn Photography]

This cute little guy was so much fun to photograph, and wow does he look just like his mama! Ciarra and John welcomed their son Porter on June 26th and I had the pleasure of photographing their little family a few weeks later. These three are so photogenic, and Ciarra & John are hilarious, making the session super fun.

Make sure you take a good look at Porter's adorable nursery that Ciarra designed - I think a new career could be in her future!?! I know if I ever have a baby, she's at the top of my list of people to call for nursery decor help!

Enjoy the sneak peek! Huge thanks to Ciarra and John for choosing me to photograph such a special time in their lives!

Kristen + Lawrence [Iowa City, IA Celebration Farm Timber Frame Wedding Photography]

Kristen and Lawrence's wedding was held at the gorgeous Celebration Farm, with the ceremony and reception both held in the Timber Frame barn. Decorated with lights (by Travis at Unique Events) and yellow flowers, this rustic but elegant wedding couldn't have been more lovely!

Kristen, as you can see, was stunning in her customized ball gown and long veil which she paired with cowboy boots similar to her bridesmaids as a nod to the barn setting. Lawrence looked handsome as well in his grey suit with turquoise accessories, and I love the way he looks at Kristen like she's the only woman in the entire world.

We had some incredibly beautiful weather, and the day began with the two exchanging handwritten letters they wrote on either side of the barn walls so that they wouldn't see each other prior to the ceremony. Later, we were able to take advantage of the beautiful light at sunset.

Thanks to Kristen and Lawrence for choosing us to document their day - it was so fun getting to know you both and we wish you all of the happiness in the world. Congratulations!
