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...
