The S Family [Solon, IA Family and Child Photography]

I met the gorgeous S Family out at Lake MacBride a couple of weeks ago where we got to spend a beautiful fall evening taking photos, hunting for bugs, and throwing rocks in the water. Ayden and Cole are so darn cute, and their parents Kelli and Eric are so fun and sweet. We love these guys!

Nora: 2 Years [North Liberty, IA Child and Family Photography]

I truly cannot believe Nora is 2 already! I've known this family for 7 years now, and have been photographing Nora since before she was born (starting with Stacy's maternity photos!). She is such a cutie, I just love that curly hair! It's crazy how much she's changed in the last year, but so fun to get to watch my clients grow.

Kristen + Lawrence [Lake MacBride Engagement Photography]

Kristen and Lawrence are planning a July wedding, and because of the crazy late spring we had, this was actually a reschedule but they ended up with a perfectly gorgeous day. These two live in Kansas City, though they are getting married at Celebration Farm here in Iowa City (Kristen is from Cedar Rapids originally).

I love how sweet these two are together! Kristen has a beautiful smile, and as I'm sure you can see by the photos, Lawrence just adores her. They both love to laugh, and also clearly love each other very much. I can't wait until these two tie the knot, and I'm thankful to be a part of their day!

Holly + Elliot [Mother & Daughter Series #3 - Coralville, IA Family and Child Photography]

On Friday, Coelle and I met up with the gorgeous Holly and her sweet Elliot girl at Lake MacBride for Coelle's 3rd practice session and another in the series of Mother/Daughter sessions. The photos below are a mix of Coelle's and mine, we had such a beautiful night and so much fun with these two.

Again, Coelle continues to impress and amaze me. This girl has talent and I'm lucky to have her on my team! :)

Holly and Elliot, thank you so much for giving your time on Friday and modeling for us. You two are beautiful, and I hope you love this sneak peek.

My fave I think!

Emily + Connor [Iowa City, IA Engagement Photography]

The week of Emily and Connor's engagement session, we got to spend some time getting to know each other over drinks and good food, which made their session even more fun. Emily is as sweet as can be, and I adore her style (she sells Stella & Dot, so she's always perfectly accessorized) and Connor's sense of humor is the best (as you will see in the photos, he makes Emily laugh constantly).

Emily and Connor are planning a May 2014 wedding at Celebration Farm, and I am very much looking forward to hanging out with these two on their big day. For their engagement session, we ended up with gorgeous weather and started out downtown and ended at Lake MacBride with their pup Bounce. Emily and Connor wanted to stop at the Sports Column, a place where their relationship began, and where they spent time together.

Emily and Connor - thank you so much for a fun and hilarious session. I am so excited to be a part of your wedding, and it's been a lot of fun getting to know you both better! I hope you like this sneak peek...
