Ashley [Iowa City, IA Editorial Photography]

This post features a personal project that was a collaboration alongside Holly Richter from Tru Salon in Coralville (one super talented lady!!). We have been getting together several times this year to do some editorial shoots for Tru, and have been having so much fun and feeling so inspired that we decided to work together to keep our passion for what we do going strong and creative juices flowing.

I love what I do, photographing families, children, etc but there's something very freeing about shooting just for myself. This project has opened up my creativity and reignited my passion for photography in ways I didn't expect. I really love these little projects, and I hope you do too! Thanks to my assistant Ashley for modeling, she did awesome!

The S Family [Solon, IA Family and Child Photography]

I met the gorgeous S Family out at Lake MacBride a couple of weeks ago where we got to spend a beautiful fall evening taking photos, hunting for bugs, and throwing rocks in the water. Ayden and Cole are so darn cute, and their parents Kelli and Eric are so fun and sweet. We love these guys!

Rivers [Iowa City, IA Lifestyle Newborn and Family Photography]

Sweet Rivers. I am not sure what to say about this adorable family that I haven't already said many, many times on the blog. Bottom line - I adore this little family. Spending time with them is always full of laughs, and this session was no exception, as you can see in the photos! Julian is an awesome big brother, giving plenty of head rubs to baby Rivers, and these two are going to have so much fun together over the years. Congratulations again to Coelle, Chris, and Julian on their new addition!
