Crystal and Reed are Married!

Crystal and Reed were married on August 6 in Crystal's hometown of Lisbon.  Family and friends  came together to celebrate Reed and Crystal's love and commitment to each other.  Crystal and Reed, I wish you nothing but the best as you begin your life together as husband and wife.  It was an honor to be a part of your day.

Love this picture of the guys, would you believe it was their idea to hold the flowers.

July Family Sessions

I love photographing families.  It is so much fun getting to know each family, their personalities, their quirks, how they interact with each other.  When photographing my clients one of my goals is to capture their personalities.  One of the greatest compliments I can receive from a client is when they tell me they love their pictures, and that I was able to really capture who they are as a family.

Here are the highlights from some of my July family sessions.

The Riley-Adams are good family friends from back home.  There was lots of laughter during our session.

Danica is the most precious six month old and the beautiful daughter of my friends Sarah and Josh..

Check out those eyes!

Hannah and Garrison have two cuter than cute boys.  We had fun playing together at the Train Depot in West Liberty.

Summer Family and Maternity Sessions

WOW! It has been way too long since I last posted.  I have been shooting like crazy and took a much needed vacation/retreat to my favorite place in the whole wide world - Dillon, Colorado.  I have a ton to blog about, so here we go.  I had so much fun with my friends Rebecca and John, and their darling little girl Charlotte who will be two in October.  We started our session just outside of Mount Vernon at Abbe Creek School, and then wrapped things up at their house.  It was a PERFECT June night.  The lighting was do die for!

I photographed Jana and Rick's wedding last September, and in July I had the pleasure of taking some maternity pictures for Jana.  Baby Morgan should be arriving any day now!  Congratulations, I'm so happy and excited for you guys.

 This is one of my favorites from the session
