Kelsey & Jared [Solon, IA Lake MacBride Engagement Photography]

Kelsey and Jared are not only completely adorable, but sweet and so much fun as well. When Kelsey emailed me to discuss locations and had envisioned something including a boat, I was super excited because I'd been wanting to do a session like this for awhile. We had the perfect evening for it last Saturday, though we had to improvise with a canoe instead of a rowboat as Kelsey originally had in mind. Either way, the sunset lit lake provided a stunning backdrop, and I loved the colorful paddle boats lining the old wooden dock.

Kelsey and Jared - I cannot WAIT for your wedding in May, it is going to be beautiful and so much fun. Thank you for choosing us to document such an important time in your lives, we are so honored and thrilled. I hope you like this sneak peek!! Thanks for a wonderful evening.

My favorite! (Well, one of them at least...)

Madera Linen Albums [North Liberty, IA Wedding Photography]

Let me start off by saying, I am obsessed with these linen albums! I love the leather ones as well (see one HERE), but I love the luxurious but still casual feel of the linen on these Madera albums.

I recently began offering these linen albums as parent albums, which are included in my top wedding collection for 2013/2014, but so many couples have loved them (and wanted the linen for their own album), I'm also offering the option of exchanging a leather cover for linen on any of the wedding albums as well.

These albums, like the leather, feature lay flat pages, custom layouts, cover imprinting (not shown), and inset photo on the cover. The linen comes in several color options, including yellow, red, tan, black, grey (shown), navy, and more.

Alicia + Nick [North Liberty, IA Maternity Photography]

After a couple reschedules due to this crazy weather, we finally got a nice day for Alicia and Nick's maternity session. These two are due with their first child, a little girl, in mid-August. We had a great time wandering around Kent Park, and all that rain that put a damper on our earlier sessions has made everything incredibly lush and green. These two are so sweet together, Josh and I had a great time getting to know them both.

Alicia and Nick - thank you for an amazing session! I am so excited to meet your little girl when she arrives. I hope you enjoy the preview!

My favorite!

Alicia, you are stunning!!

I adore these next two images, so sweet.
