Mac: 1 Year [Coralville, IA Child Photography]

Mac is a new client, but I had so much fun hanging out with him last Saturday evening. He just turned one, and so we documented the occasion out at Squire Point. Although we are still awaiting more green on the trees this spring, Mac brightened up the woods in his adorable outfits. This little guy is curious, and is crawling up a storm. I love his big smile, and those blue eyes...he's going to be a heartbreaker!

Molly, Ezra, and Mac - It was wonderful meeting you all! I had a great time at the session, and I hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

Those boots just kill me! Love...

Kayla + Jae [Mother & Daughter Series #2 - Coralville, IA Family Photography]

This session with the stunning Kayla and cutie pie Jae took place last Friday at the Terry Trueblood Recreation Area. This was Coelle's 2nd practice session and she did the majority of the shooting after her success with Tanya and Avery the week before.

Again, this is part of a Mother/Daughter series I am working on - so I took a handful of photos (more info on this project/Mother's Day special coming very soon!!) but the most of these are Coelle's work. I am SO proud of her, I can't wait to see her continue to progress as a photographer. We have many more practice sessions lined up and I am so excited for each and every one. Coelle's photos are credited below!

Kayla and Jae - thank you again for volunteering your time for Coelle to practice. You guys were wonderful!!

Hands down, my favorite of the session. Photo by Coelle.

Casey + Matt [Kansas City, MO Country Club Plaza + Loose Park Engagement Photography]

A week and a half ago, I had the opportunity to travel to Kansas City to take Casey and Matt's engagement photos. They are getting married this October, in Anamosa, but met (and live) in Kansas City so they wanted to have documentation of the place where they fell in love. We had AMAZING weather for this session, 80 degrees and everything was starting to bloom down there so I was thrilled. I even got to meet their sweet pup Darla. Oh, and for the record - everyone that has warned me of their "crazy puppies" has been soooo wrong! ;) Maybe she is a wild woman normally (like my Clara) but when it came time for her photo debut, Darla was a pro!

One of my favorite things about Casey and Matt is how sweet they are together, and hello - gorgeous!! One of the first things I asked was how they met, and as Casey shared the story of that night, Matt couldn't keep the smile off his face. These two are awesome and I can't thank them enough for bringing us down to KC to do their session.

Casey and Matt (and Darla!) - you guys are awesome and I am so excited for your wedding in October! I hope you love this sneak peek - and thank you again for a fabulous session.

My fave!!
