I first photographed this adorable little girl last year, and now she has a new little brother for a playmate! These two are precious, the little girl is ALL GIRL, and the little boy is ALL BOY.






I love my daughter with my whole heart, I also love Target, bubble baths, My Husband's smile, Sunday afternoons when I'm not working, the spa, autumn, Greece, old chairs, my amazingly selfless mother, mac n cheese, dancing alone in my home, Hawkeye basketball, Drake University, my daughter's giggle, christmas lights, Counting Crows, new sheets, starbucks, wine, reading a good book, magazines, "The Bachelor", people that take risks, candles, my ipod, Need to Breathe, sleeping in, dangly earrings, pedicures, scarves, FroYo, kittens, vespas, Kate Hudson and Josh Hartnett, chai tea, new stationary, holding hands, Estes Park, cobblestone streets, checking things off of my to do list, slipper socks, chips and salsa make me smile, jesus christ my lord and savior, kindness, classic beauty, happy people, antique stores, little towns, cafes, old cameras, listening to people's stories,genuine smiles, a good hug, my friends and family, sunshine, and being excited about going to my "job" each day. Capturing all that emotion with the click of the shutter, doesn't feel like work at all. It's absolutely perfect.

I loved working with this family. They were full of smiles, and full of love. How fun would it be to have three little girls!









Look what my Valentinie surprised me with this weekend. Proof that he knows his lover through and through. He always surprises me with my favorite things. This time: the new Brandi Carlile album, Starbucks card and two necklaces custom made with turquoise (my fav) from an art gallery in town. I’m convinced he is the best gift giver known to man.
Thank you my love! You didn’t have to…but you did.
On a side note, love your babe today…but show your love everyday. Because they are the ones that make your life oh so much sweeter.
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

My wedding couple from last summer, Natalie and Danny Wagener were chosen as a featured wedding in this weeks Juice publication. Here is the link:

For starters, this is the happiest little baby you will ever lay eyes on. She has the biggest little grin, and smiles from ear to ear. I LOVE that.
I first met Lauren’s mum crystal mat a wedding this fall. She was one of the bridesmaids. She later asked me to capture her daughter Lauren. And boy was it a treat. Enjoy!





This was such a fun and different session. Blake’s mom wanted some wrestling photos of blake since it’s his last year! , so here they are:







This young woman is absolutely gorgeous and sweet to boot. Here are some shots she had taken for her proud hubby!






Mom and Dad, definitely have their hands full. They are blessed with a two year old delight named Rowan, and three adorable little boys, whom happen to be triplets! Mom is definitely out-numbered here, a lot of testosterone in this household
The babies were so good, they are truly blessed to have such great babies. They hardly fussed during out whole shoot. Happy Holidays, it was a pleasure meeting you.
