Erin + Blake [Coralville and Marengo, IA Engagement Photography]

Erin and Blake are planning an August 2014 wedding at Celebration Farm's Timber Frame barn, after getting engaged this past July. These two met at work, and since they began hanging out as friends first, they can't officially agree on when they began dating. Erin wanted to take photos at Quinton's in Coralville, where they often went while they were dating, and still frequent. The second part of the plan was based a bit around the movie "Up" as Blake's (and Erin's future) last name is the same as the couple in the movie. I loved this session, meeting Dexter and Rocky, getting to know Erin and Blake a bit better, and hanging out at the farm owned by Blake's family.

Erin and Blake - it was so much fun hanging out with you guys, I wish you the best at your wedding next summer!! I hope you like this sneak peek...

My absolute fave from the session!

Kyle + Mike [Coralville, IA Engagement Photography]

Kyle and Mike are the best...not only are they adorable together, and so kind, but they have allowed me to come out to their home to hang out with Cocoa the goat twice. Truly, they know how to make my day. :)

Kyle and Mike attended City High together, but didn't begin dating until later, when they reconnected via Facebook (I believe Kyle said it best when she said "so Facebook IS good for something!"). They were engaged last Christmas, in the home they share together (along with their dog Duke, love him!). I am so excited for their Bella Sala wedding next June, but until then - enjoy this sneak peek of their engagement session!

Kyle & Mike - thank you guys so much for everything, it has been wonderful getting to know you, and I am thrilled to be a part of your wedding day!!

A unique part of their session was visiting a friend's farm, where Blue the deer was waiting for an evening snack. :)

Cadence [North Liberty, IA Newborn Life Cycle Photography]

Sweet Cadence was welcomed into the world on September 9th, a little earlier than her due date, but arrived as an early birthday present for her mom Sarah. This little lady is such a cutie, and it's very obvious how much David, Sarah, and even Martin and Luther love having her in their lives. As you can see, she's a total girlie girl already, loving her pink!!

Sarah and David, thank you so much for inviting me to photograph such an exciting time in your lives!! You two are such amazing parents already, Cadence is lucky to have you as her mom and dad. :) I hope you like this preview!
