The Hemming Family - Marshalltown Family Photographer

Here is a little preview from the family session I had last weekend back in my hometown.  Sarah and I are friends from high school, and I was so excited when she asked me to take pictures of her family.  Whenever I do photo sessions with my friends and their families from my hometown I always have a moment of "who would have ever thought I would be a photographer and doing a photo session with________ (insert name here)"  I LOVE it, I love how wonderful and unexpected life is.  So without further ado....

Lindsey and Dan ~ Engagement Sneak Peak

I can't wait to photograph Lindsey and Dan's Iowa City wedding next June.  We had so much fun together on Sunday during their engagement session.  Lindsey and Dan are so down to earth and easy to be around, I feel like I've known them forever instead of just a few months.  Enjoy your sneak peak and I hope that we see each other again before next June!

Lindsey and Dan's daughter Hayden joined us for a few pictures.  How cute is she! I LOVE her curly hair.

This picture makes me laugh, Hayden was not happy when her mom and dad gave her a kiss.

Lindsey and Dan met while they were students and Iowa, Go Hawks!

 We ended our session at the place where it all began - Bo James

Leslie & Eric ~ Married!

I had SO much fun photographing Leslie and Eric's wedding last weekend in Cedar Rapids.  The bridal party was hilarious, I don't think I've been so entertained at a reception that I was working at.  I met Leslie and Eric through our mutual friends Michelle and Tim, and I feel so lucky to have gotten to know Leslie and Eric and that I can call them my friends.  Leslie and Eric, you are one of the sweetest couples I have ever met.  Your family and friends are just as sweet and wonderful, and I loved spending the day with you guys. Congratulations on becoming Mr. and Mrs.!  Enjoy your sneak peek.

Cutest family picture ever!

Reichert Ott Family Session

My mini session with Jenny and her two boys might just go down in the books as the most exciting and fun family session I've done.  Quincy and Ryan are little fireballs, and have so much energy.  No one could handle these two boys better than Jenny, she was made to be their mom.  After our session we hung out and ate Oreos, what more could this photographer ask for!?  Jenny, thank you so much for letting me spend time with you and your beautiful boys.  I had a blast!

The boys were all about the "funny faces" portion of the shoot.

Helloooo stunning eyes!

While I was taking this series of pictures of Quincy and Ryan, I couldn't help thinking about my two brothers and how close they were growing up and still are.  You guys are in for a lifetime of fun, trouble making, and being best friends.
