Home Sweet Home

Meet Wes, Jamie, Sy, & Fynn. Seriously, one of theee most adorable families on the planet. :) Wes and Jamie were just blessed with their second child, Miss Fynn Marie, and man is she a cutie patootie! She was a little dream baby for me, not even making a peep the whole time I visited. Wes and Jamie also welcomed me into their AMAZING home for their session, and I made a complete mess of it with all my props, blankets, & goodies!! Lol! But we did have fun, and I can tell Mr. Sy will be an awesome big brother! This family is just as sweet as they come, and I enjoyed photographing them! Enjoy the sneak-peek!

Did I mention I love fall yet??

I feel like I have said it a million times over, but fall is, hands down, my favorite time of year! {As well as my favorite time to shoot!} And this right here is why. Just LOOK at all the fall color bursting out of these photographs!!! I LOOOOVVEE it! :) AND, I love my seniors too. Miss Hannah had a portion of her senior images taken during the peak of color, and I am just dying over here because of the beauty in these shots! She wore the cutest outfit, and her eyes were so amazingly blue-- isn't she gorgeous! We had so much fun during the session, she let me play out some ideas I had, & she even threw some leaves! What a blast! I hope everyone has been enjoying fall as much as I have! Enjoy~

Family, football, & off-roading fun!

I am NEVER disappointed when the Lewin family comes to visit! They are one of my favorites-- I have been photographing their lil man Noxx since he was born. :) And now they are having another little bundle of fun!! {BTW Kasey, you look amazing!!} They always look amazing, have the best ideas for Noxx, and Noxx models for the camera like a pro! What more could a girl ask for?! They had some of the best fall color photos yet-- I just LOVE this time of year! I had a blast working with them as usual, and had fun throwing the football with Noxx & rocking out some seriously awesome dirt-bike images down on an old dirt road. He handles the 'serious face' with the best of 'em, and gave us some good chuckles along the way as well! Enjoy--

Feels Like Home

Meet the Kramer family ~ Keith, Sherry, Nate, Jordan & Luke. Living in a house full of boys -- what fun!! I have a lot of respect for Sherry (not sure how she did it, & I only have 2 boys in my house!) Haha! But in all reality, these guys were fantastic to work with! So easy-going :) Everyone was more than willing to go along with all my ideas and oh my gosh, these guys live surrounded by the most amazing setting! A long tree-lined lane, gorgeous timber in every direction - - endless possibilities! So why not take their family portraits in a setting so personal? I love when my clients home offers up such a beautiful location for portraits! It makes their portraits just that more personal. :) I thoroughly enjoyed their session & hope that they love their sneak-peek! Enjoy~

Country Boy

Meet Beau. He rocks. :) And so do his senior images! Some of my fave of all time! We took all of these images on and around his family farm! I am so thrilled when people invite me to shoot where they are most comfortable, and where there are LOTS of cool unique spots to shoot! I am so happy with these photos! I had a blast running around with Beau and his family! And of course we had to take a few with his most prized possessions... the truck & tractor! I just love it when families invite me back-- I shot Beau's sister Brooke's killer senior images as well! Was great working with ya Beau! Enjoy the sneak peek!

Love in the air

What a GORGEOUS day these two lovebirds had! :) Rebecca & Brian were married in small town Iowa, and so when Becca emailed me a while back about photos, I knew her ideas would be right up my alley! All she had in mind was a small, simple wedding. She wanted photos to be on her parent's farm. In some of her own words -- "In my mind, the pictures that mean the most are the ones with the people you love. I don't want pictures of everyone lined up in front of the alter... honestly, it would mean more to me to have a picture with my family in a place we all love." I just LOVED this idea & couldn't wait to capture it. They were blessed with a beautiful fall day, and I absolutely LOVE these images!! So enjoy!
