Jennifer + Pedro [Iowa City, IA Engagement Photography]

Jennifer and Pedro are planning an August wedding this year at Sugar Grove Vineyards in Newton, and we met for their engagement session shortly after Christmas. These guys were troopers, for sure, as they live in Las Vegas so this cold Iowa weather was a bit of a cold slap (even to me, and I'm used to it on a daily basis this time of year!). We met out at the lake, and went to some of my favorite spots, and even managed to capture Iowa's version of a waterfall. My favorite thing about these two is how much they love to laugh, and enjoy being playful with each other which made them incredibly easy to photograph and get to know them better! Here are some of my personal favorites, as well as many that they chose for themselves. I hope you enjoy!

Jennifer and Pedro, I can't wait to photograph you both again in August! :)

The M Family [Iowa City, IA Family and Child Photography]

I adore this family! Wendy and Brandon are so sweet, and their kids are just the cutest. I photographed them on one of the coldest days in 2014 and they were amazing troopers, so this year we definitely lucked out in the weather department. Here are a handful of my favorites from their session, and looking at these makes me long for warmer weather (I think this weekend it's supposed to be in the 50's, break out the short sleeves people!!). Anyways, huge thanks to Wendy and Brandon for choosing me to photograph their family again, it's always such a pleasure!

Oliver [Olathe, KS Newborn Photography]

Casey and Matt were one of the sweetest, most genuine couples I've ever met, and I have adored them since the day we did their engagement photos in Kansas City. Their wedding was an incredible day, and I was honored to be invited to do their maternity and newborn photos when they found out they were expecting. Oliver was just the cutest little guy, and he did a great job for his first official photo session. It was so wonderful to see these guys, and of course Darla, again! I hope you enjoy this handful of my favorites from their session.
