Jessie + Andrew [North Liberty, IA Maternity Photography]

I am pretty sure I've said it before, but I'll say it again - I love photographing maternity sessions (and lifestyle newborn). I love how excited and happy the parents are, and it's true that a pregnant woman just glows.

Jessie and Andrew are expecting their first little one in October, and I had a wonderful maternity session with them out at the lake. Jessie is from Minnesota, so she wanted something near the water, and these two had a beautiful night for their session. I loved the field of black eyed susans, in fact, we just pulled off the road to stop and grab some shots there and I'm so glad we did!

Jessie and Andrew - thank you SO much for choosing me to photograph such a special and exciting time in your lives! I hope you love the sneak peek. :)

Mandy + Ben: Coelle Practice Session [Cedar Rapids, IA Engagement Photography]

This was Coelle's last practice session before baby, and we had such a great time photographing Mandy and Ben, who are actually getting married this October (congrats to them!). Coelle did a great job and we had a beautiful evening for photos in the NewBo District. Love that place!

Go ahead and leave Coelle some love on the great work she's done this year, all photos are hers unless otherwise noted!

Samantha + Brian [St Pat's and Brown Deer Wedding Photography, Iowa City]

Samantha and Brian were married on a beautiful August 2nd at St. Pat's in Iowa City, followed by a reception at Brown Deer in Coralville. Their colors of coral and gray were perfect for summer, and what a stunning couple these two are!

These two had such a great first look, and both said later that it was their favorite part of the day. Emotions always run high in anticipation of seeing each other, and after exchanging letters to each other, they met in front of the church for the first time on their wedding day. I also loved the moment Samantha had with her dad, so sweet.

After the ceremony we headed down to the Pentacrest, before heading to Brown Deer for the reception. I can't think of anything prettier than sunset pics on the golf course there, the light is just perfect and those photos are always my favorite of the day.

Congratulations to Sam and Brian, thank you for choosing us to document your day! I hope you like the sneak peek.
