Anne from Starry Eyed Ventures [Iowa City, IA Headshot Photography]

Last night I met up with Anne, the lovely owner of Starry Eyed Ventures, a travel planning service focused on making honeymoon planning an effortless experience for brides and grooms.

We had a beautiful evening at the lake for Anne's headshots, who is launching her first website and needed a few professional photos. It was so great chatting with her and getting to know her a little bit! Turns out, we both treat our dogs like humans and both met our husbands on blind dates! I wish Anne's business had been around when I got married, as her expertise and planning would have been invaluable! Having traveled extensively herself, Anne eventually decided to become a certified travel agent and soon had friends asking her to plan trips for them. From there, she went on to create Starry Eyed Ventures, and now exclusively plans honeymoons for brides and grooms! You can visit Anne's website HERE!

Zeke: 1 Year [Coralville, IA Family and Child Photography]

Zeke just turned 1 and I can't believe it! Seems like just a few months ago I met this little guy and his parents for his newborn session. I'm sure the year went even more ridiculously fast for Stef and Jerrod! It's such a fun part of my job to see the little kiddos grow and change from session to session.

Zeke loves his four legged sister Breckenridge, so she came along for the shoot as well and those big smiles on his face - those were all thanks to her!

Stef and Jerrod - thank you so much for choosing me to photograph Zeke again! It was a blast, and I hope you like this sneak peek. :)

Tru Salon Fall 2014 Editorial Shoot [Coralville, IA Editorial Photography]

This is the third editorial shoot that I've done with the girls at Tru Salon in Coralville, and it seems like I leave the session feeling more inspired than before. Holly did the hair for their Fall 2014 shoot, using L'Oreal Hair Chalk, and I thought it looked amazing!

I am so thankful to have met the girls from Tru, as they are incredible artists and it is a privilege to be able to photograph their work. I love doing sessions like this which stretch my creativity and allow me to branch out with my photography, so THANK YOU to Holly for choosing me to be a part of this!

I know this doesn't show off the beautiful hair color that Holly mixed for the shoot, but I was just playing around and this is one of my personal favorites, in b&w.
