Jordan + Bret [Iowa City, IA Engagement Photography]

Bret and Jordan met while they were both attending the University of Iowa, and after noticing this gorgeous girl on Facebook, sent her a message that said something like "Hey Jordan, tell me again the story of how we met. It gets me every time." Humor, as you may know, is always the key to winning a lady's heart (at least in my opinion). Now these two are planning a September 2014 wedding in Cedar Rapids, crazy how life works sometimes! :)

Jordan and Bret's session took place on a very chilly morning a couple of weeks ago, and despite the cold, I had a great time hanging out with these two. Not only are they gorgeous, but I'm seriously considering asking Jordan to just be my personal shopper - these two have amazing style. I am sure their wedding will be equally fabulous, and I cannot wait.

Jordan and Bret - Thank you so much for a fantastic session, you two are so much fun and I am thrilled to be a part of your day.

Emily + Connor [Iowa City, IA Engagement Photography]

The week of Emily and Connor's engagement session, we got to spend some time getting to know each other over drinks and good food, which made their session even more fun. Emily is as sweet as can be, and I adore her style (she sells Stella & Dot, so she's always perfectly accessorized) and Connor's sense of humor is the best (as you will see in the photos, he makes Emily laugh constantly).

Emily and Connor are planning a May 2014 wedding at Celebration Farm, and I am very much looking forward to hanging out with these two on their big day. For their engagement session, we ended up with gorgeous weather and started out downtown and ended at Lake MacBride with their pup Bounce. Emily and Connor wanted to stop at the Sports Column, a place where their relationship began, and where they spent time together.

Emily and Connor - thank you so much for a fun and hilarious session. I am so excited to be a part of your wedding, and it's been a lot of fun getting to know you both better! I hope you like this sneak peek...

Laine: 1 Year [Iowa City, IA Child and Family Photography]

I can't believe it's been nearly a year since I photographed sweet Laine and her family - Eric, Stacy, and of course, Harvey. This little lady just turned one a couple of days before our session, and despite the early morning time and cool temps, Laine was awesome. She's crawling all over the place now, and I learned that she loves her "brother" Harvey, books, Cheerios, and soft, fuzzy blankets. Laine is also a big fan of nap-time, but who isn't?

Eric and Stacy - Thank you so much for choosing me to photograph Laine's one year session! It was wonderful seeing you all again, you guys are so great and I appreciate you very much. I hope you like this sneak peek of your little family! :)
