Emily and Randon in Love

Emily and Randon are getting married in October, and I had a blast taking their engagement pictures on Wartburg's campus.  Emily and I were communication majors at Wartburg; who would have thought that five years later I'd be her wedding photographer!  Emily and Randon have a fun playful relationship, and this was captured beautifully at the end of our session when they got into a bit of a water fight in a water fountain. 

Have a beautiful week!

Jace is 9 months!

I can hardly believe that my nephew Jace is 9 months.  Sarah, Jace and my mom came to Iowa City on Wednesday for the day, and I of course took some pictures.  I know I'm a little biased, but Jace is seriously the cutest thing EVER!

Mark + Amanda

I had the pleasure of meeting Mark and Amanda in June, and I have enjoyed getting to know them over the last month.  The three of us ventured to downtown Iowa City for their engagement shoot.  It has been a rainy and humid summer so far, and I was happy that we ended up having beautiful weather the day of their session.  It is of course always fun for me to take pictures for my friends and family, but I really love it when I am able to meet couples and learn all about them and their relationship.  I never get tired of hearing about how a couple met and how they got engaged.  Hearing my client's stories and creating a relationship with them is one of my favorite parts of being a photographer.  Thank you Mark and Amanda for letting me be apart of your story.

Tom and Cheryl

I have known Tom and Cheryl for many years. Cheryl was one of my favorite high school teachers.  Tom and Cheryl celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in March and wanted to have some pictures taken in honor of this momentous occasion.  I had a great time during our photo session.  Tom and Cheryl have beautiful loving and fun relationship with each other.  I hope to be so lucky some day.

Italia!

Holy cow it has been awhile since my last blog post! May and June have been filled with photo shoots, moving and trips to Italy! I speant ten days in Italy with three girlfriends, and we had the most AMAZING time. If you haven't been to Italy I would highly reccomend going. We rented a car, which provided us with some pretty funny stories, and went wherever our hearts desired. Tuscany was by far my favorite place. Here are a few pictures from the trip and I will post more soon. If you can't tell I was a little bit obsessed with food, especially the gelato...yum!
