Welcome to 

I first met Lauren when she was a bridesmaid in Mitch and Angela’s New Years Eve Wedding a few months prior and I knew right away she was going to be a blast to work with. Her bubbly personality and radiant smile quickly fills the room! 

Sweet Emalyn’s arrival was an anticipated one! Her parents are friends of ours and I was so excited for them to welcome a baby girl after having twin boys! She was just the sweetest thing for her Fresh 48 session just 4 hours after her birth! <3

Another amazing style shoot in the books! This shoot was a blast! When Kari and I were dreaming up a theme for this style shoot we wanted to combine the soft vintage look of dusty blues, champagne pinks, grays, and white with the upcoming modern trend of copper accents. Tucker Hill Vineyard’s barn made a gorgeous venue for the shoot and worked so well with our vision. 

Sweet baby Vada Marie! I couldn’t get over all her chunk! I loved seeing how much she had changed in just the few days since her Fresh 48 session!

As parents we can’t wait to meet our babies once they are born. We spend hours dreaming about what they are going to look like. Will they have Mom’s eyes or Dad’s nose, Dark hair or no hair, the list goes on and on! 

This chunky little man was in the studio recently for his 6 month photos! It’s hard to believe he is already a sitting, 6 month old baby! It seems like he was just in the studio for his newborn pictures! He is such a little ham! 

It’s been on my to-do list for quite some time now to sit down and write out Kohen’s birth story. I knew I wanted to write it out so I had it documented while it was still fresh in my mind. So here it goes, Kohen James’ birth story. 

When sweet baby Leah’s momma contacted me to book her session I was a bit in denial that she was old enough to be having babies since I knew her older sister in high school. I’m officially getting older than I think folks! Leah made a surprise entrance when she made her arrival 3 weeks before her due date! She weighed in at just 5lbs 13oz and 20 inches long but she still had some chunk on her! Such a cute little honey, she was so good for her session! Congratulations Sarah and Adam, she is beautiful!

I don’t know about all of you but I am sick and tired of all this rain we’ve been having lately! I’m just dying to shoot some outdoor sessions again, especially families! I decided to share one of my favorite family sessions from last year with you! Meet the Kelderman family! We had the most gorgeous night for their session and I’m pretty sure their family couldn’t have been cuter! I am so excited for them to welcome another little one into their family later this year! 

These two braved some cold temps and frigid wind for some great wedding day shots! Kendra booked me to cover their day starting with her getting ready at The North Place near Hull, IA. This adorable little farmhouse has the perfect bed and breakfast feel and makes the perfect bridal suite! Kendra got ready in the loft bedroom upstairs and we got some gorgeous images.
