What to Wear: Winter Engagement Session

Living in Iowa, with it's 40 degrees one day and -17 the next, planning a winter engagement session can be a little tricky. However, when a client is up for it and the weather works in our favor, winter sessions are some of my favorite. Everything is so beautiful, and peaceful - and who doesn't like the chance to cozy up with their fiancé for warmth? ;)

Coelle came up with a couple inspiration boards for those who might consider a winter engagement post. There is a way to click on the items beneath both sets, (except the cream sweater in the second set and the men's plaid shirt) but these looks would be so easy to recreate with similar items you already own. Don't forget some tights for the skirt outfit, might be a little chilly to go without!

Kaley + Patrick [North Liberty, IA Maternity Photography]

Kaley and Patrick are expecting their first little one in mid February, and I am so excited to share their maternity photos with you all! Their session took place last Saturday, on a cold windy day, but the snow made for a beautiful background so I'm glad they braved the cold.

My favorite thing about this session is the way that Kaley and Patrick look at each other, they are just so cute!! I'm pretty sure I said that about 8 million times during their session, but it's true. This little one will be very loved, and I can't wait to meet him OR her (they are waiting to find out) very soon.

Kaley and Patrick - thank you so much for the opportunity to photograph this time in your lives! It was great getting to know you better, and I look forward to the newborn session soon!

Happy Holidays!

This will be my last post of 2013, and I just wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very happy holiday and a fabulous 2014!! Thank you all for your unwavering support - I couldn't ask for better clients and friends (and clients who have become friends). See you next year! :)
