Chris [Iowa City, IA Editorial Photography]

I've been dabbling with some editorial type photography lately, it's so much fun for me to do something purely for myself. I've mentioned in previous posts, it inspires me in ways I didn't expect and ultimately makes me a happier person and better photographer. I think it's pretty common as a photographer to get to a point where you are busy (which is AWESOME) but stop picking up a camera just for fun, so getting back to shooting in my free time has been a breath of fresh air for me.

Huge thank you to Chris for spending his Sunday morning modeling for me, I appreciate it so much!!

Tru Salon Winter 2014 Editorial Shoot [Coralville, IA Editorial Photography]

These sessions I get to do with Tru Salon are so much fun, and this one with Chika modeling are some of my favorites. We got a little creative with the fan action and love how it turned out! Hair by Holly, makeup by Kayla (and Kayla did a fabulous job adding the "wind"). Love!!

The F Family [Coralville, IA Family and Child Photography]

The F family chose the gorgeous Fossil Gorge for their family photos and I had a great time photographing them, especially Oliver and Solomon - such cuties!! Oliver and I discussed all kinds of stuff, turkey buzzards, frogs, snakes... all things little boys love and grown women are terrified of, right?!

Huge thanks to the F Family for an amazing session, and for Ashley for assisting!
