Liam: One Year [Coralville, IA Family and Child Photography]

It's getting to be that time of year again for family photos, and I'm loving getting to see all of my clients from last year again! Jess, Frank, and Liam are clients that have become friends since I photographed their maternity session last spring. I just adore these guys, and their pup Melrose too (who didn't come along for this shoot) and could Liam be any cuter?!? Jess is the owner of Brides by Jessa in the Iowa River Landing - brides, be sure and check it out! They also have prom and homecoming dresses. :)

Without further ado, check out this sneak peek from their Kent Park session!

Sara + Luke [Iowa City, IA St. Patrick's and University Club Wedding Photography]

I had so much fun photographing Sara and Luke last year for their engagement session (these two are just incredibly photogenic - so not fair!! Lol.) and was super excited for their June 27th wedding. After rain all week, I was crossing my fingers for beautiful weather and Mother Nature obliged, giving us a beautiful clear June day.

Sara and Luke are so sweet, and their bridal party was incredibly kind and fun to be around. I love my clients - they make my job so much fun!! Sara did a great job picking out everything as well, everything was flawless (including the reception decor which she and Luke's mom made!) Their reception was held at the University Club and after several amazing toasts and first dances, the bridal party danced to "Gangnam Style" to get the party started. What a great night!

Sara and Luke - thank you so much for such a fun day! We think you guys are fabulous and we wish you the best now and always!
