Whitney + Zach [Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, IA Newman Center and Kirkwood Hotel Wedding]

Whitney and Zach were my last wedding of the year, and what a great day it was! I had a fabulous time at their engagement session last fall and their wedding was even better than I had hoped! The day was rainy but the drizzle cleared away prior to their scheduled first look at the Newman Center, and the sun came out at the perfect time for their photos downtown.

The reception was held at the Kirkwood Hotel in Cedar Rapids, and after several very touching toasts, Herky appeared to dance with Whitney and her Iowa dance team alumni. Such a fun way to end the night, and a great way to end my 2015 wedding season. Congrats again to Whitney and Zach - may every day be as full of love as your wedding day was!

The K Family [North Liberty, IA Family and Child Photography]

Sweet Kinsley, I haven't seen this peanut since her newborn session last fall! She has changed so much, walking all over the place and I love her little smile. We had a great time out at the lake for their family session this year, one of my favorite things is catching up with clients every year! I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from their session. Can you spot the one where we recreated a maternity shot? ;)

The A Family [Ankeny, IA Family and Child Photography]

This session with the A family at their beautiful Ankeny home was definitely a lot warmer than the last session (we had snow!!) and for that I think we were all grateful! It had been 2 years since I photographed Kelly, Jon, Claire, and Jack (and of course, Lucy, that sweet ball of fluff!) so it was great to catch up and see these guys!

Here are a handful of my favorites, and one hilarious outtake that I couldn't help but include in their gallery because it made me laugh so hard!
