Hallie + Andrew [Solon, IA Celebration Barn Wedding]

Hallie and Andrew were married at the gorgeous Celebration Barn on Dick Schwab's property, unique in the fact that few weddings are held there since Celebration Farm opened. This property is gorgeous, and the stone arch overlooking the pond was the perfect setting for Hallie and Andrew's wedding on September 14th.

The day was gorgeous, a perfect September day, and began at the Marriott in Coralville where the guys and girls were getting ready and Hallie and Andrew had their first look. The ceremony was stunning, and even their pup Remi got involved as the ringbearer (and he did a fabulous job!). Hallie is so creative, she had so many special touches throughout their wedding, and it made photographing it extra fun! Not to mention they looked absolutely stunning, but I think that's a given. ;)

Hallie and Andrew - Thank you so much for choosing us to be a part of your day. It was so beautiful, I feel lucky to have been a part of it. I hope you have a great rest of your honeymoon, enjoy the sneak peek! Congratulations again!!

Ryker [North Liberty, IA Newborn Life Cycle Photography]

You may remember Kristen and Travis from their maternity session this past June, these two are adorable together, and I was so excited to meet Ryker. His newborn session took place on September 13th (Lucky 13?) and he was a perfect model!! We got a great combination of awake and asleep photos, and of course had to include Will (a sweet border terrier, who I totally wanted to take home with me).

Kristen and Travis - Thank you so much for inviting me into your home to take Ryker's photos. He is so precious, what a wonderful addition to your family. I hope you like this sneak peek!

The H Family [North Liberty, IA Family Photography]

I was so excited when Maria contacted me about doing a session for her family again this year, as Elizabeth and Pete are a ton of fun and I had a great time photographing them last fall (despite the chilly weather we had for their session!). This year they ended up with the opposite, muggy and hot, but were just as much fun as last time. I absolutely adore their pup Harry as well, and I spent the hour laughing and enjoying myself immensely. I even came away with a new joke courtesy of Greg and Pete. ;)

Maria, Greg, Elizabeth, and Pete - it is always wonderful to see your family! You guys are the best, and I am thankful to have you as clients. I hope you enjoy the preview!
