2017 Fall Family & Mini Sessions!
|
With school starting any day now, fall family photos are just around the corner! This is my stepdaughter's senior year of high school, and commitments with her marching band are quickly filling up my calendar. In order to accommodate all of my amazing clients, I've set up 3 dates in October for family and mini-sessions. These 25 minute mini-sessions include unlimited poses (whole family, kids only, mom and kids, etc.) with high resolution digital files ready the following day! Whether you're planning for holiday cards or updated photos of the kids; this is the perfect time to cross it off your to do list! These sessions will be held outdoors at a scenic location to be announced. You can also book your 1 hour family session online! The one hour session includes all of the above, plus a $50 print credit! Reserve your time for October 2nd, 22nd, or 28th today! |

Brandon and Kimmi planned such a beautiful day, starting at the gorgeous Plymouth Church in Des Moines. We took advantage of the magnificent grounds for their first look and informal photos before formal portraits in the sanctuary. Their union was celebrated with a quick ceremony before they were sent off with cheers for a quick stop at Johnny's Hall of Fame before the reception. When the bridal party arrived at Embassy Club West out at West Glen, we took advantage of the gorgeous surroundings for photos around the pond and pedestrian path that was helpfully scouted by the moms!
Enjoy these photos from their lovely day!
Congrats, Brandon & Kimmi!

While the big day also brought a big rainstorm, the gorgeous Common's building on University of Northern Iowa's campus provided a perfect setting, and even allowed Callie to join a few photos with her moms! Stephanie and Christy exchanged vows in the Georgian Lounge - a vaulted ceiling library, followed by a cocktail hour on the enclosed south terrace before dinner and dancing in the ballroom. The couple was toasted by loved ones and there was a common theme - they were perfectly paired for each other, and both families have been waiting for this day for a long time! As they shared their first dance as wives, the sun broke through the clouds, shining light on such a romantic and special day! Thank you for including me on such a beautiful day, CJ & Stephanie! Wishing you both the absolute best!

Thanks for a great time with our shoot, Clare! It was awesome getting to know you better! Best of luck on the year ahead!
When your parents have such great friends when you're growing up, you end up with friends that are more like family; Brandon's mom and mine fall in that category, making Brandon more like my cousin than anything else. I can't even tell you how long I've known Brandon, but we were overjoyed when he introduced us to Kimmi a few years ago. So it probably goes without saying that I was thrilled when they asked if I would photograph their big day! We took some time this week to capture engagement photos - check out this adorable couple!
Congrats, Brandon & Kimmi!
Congrats, Stella! Thanks for making time for me on your busy trip to Iowa!

We knew we wanted photos that reflected Annie's style; including her love of coffee, Des Moines, and good music. I mean, with a name like HeyGiud Communications, you know there has to be a music reference! We started our shoot at the lovely Smokey Row coffee shop before hitting up Court Avenue and ending our day with the gorgeous Des Moines skyline from the capital. The incredibly talented TJ Vance also joined us, making this shoot even more fun!
We focused on creating images that Annie could use across all social media platforms and her website that are consistent with her brand identity. Obviously, with her certification in social media from Northwestern, Annie is well aware of the importance of quality visuals to represent her brand, and her clients as well. Annie is now well-stocked for blog posts, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and more! Thanks, Annie! And congrats on HeyGiud!
