Julia & Grant experienced a warm, muddy, gorgeous spring wedding at First Christian Reformed Church in Hull, Iowa with a reception to follow at the Terrace View Event Center in Sioux Center, Iowa.
With spring and Iowa combined, you never know what you’re going to get weather wise. The morning of their wedding, it was cool and rainy. But doing what Iowa does best, the weather did a 180 on us and by the time portraits arrived the sun was in full bloom! And so were the muddy puddles..

They countlessly have Aria and I over for dinner, mow my lawn when I don’t get a chance to and love on Aria like their own! I know a lot of people talk about how they don’t like living in a small town, but I for one love it. I love knowing who I live by, I love the tight-knit community.
Read MoreOh my goodness. This Family. Big sister Jayde is a spunky BUSY girl and I couldn’t love it more. She knows how to make us work for her smiles. Her little brother Kyan has the sweetest blue eyes and a little bald head. Jayde loved holding ‘baby Ky’ and was just patting his back and rocking him. So sweet.

Read MoreLindsey is 16! When I heard her mom was throwing her a surprise party I immediately got to thinking about how FUN it would be to have a surprise photo shoot! They were planning on having Lindsey’s mom take a few photos of them before they went out to eat, and instead, I was creepily in the tall grass waiting for them. Some of the girls even spotted me while waiting for the rest of the crew wondering who was in the middle of the prairie.. I tried not to laugh to hard.
Read MoreThe Huismans have two ADORABLE daughters who could make anyone smile. Especially watching them feed each other their suckers. :)
Read MoreI was so excited when this family asked me to go out to their farm to take their photos! I absolutely LOVE farms. Secretly I always envy farm homes because I think it would be so much fun to live on one. Probably because then I could have as many cats as I wanted. :) And a golden lab of course!
Read MoreTravis and Mikayla were married at Prairie Winds Event Center in
Orange City, IA, with the reception immediately following indoors.
You never know about the weather in Iowa, and we were surprised it was
so cold for this September wedding!! But everybody made the best of it
and we had a really great time and captured some beautiful memories!!
HELLO GORGEOUS! This family, right here. When I saw their outfit choices I admittedly geeked out the whole time. I LOVE when families decide to get all dressed up for something special and spend the hour having fun. My goal is to make your photo session a fun memory. Even if the kiddos decide to throw rocks and run in the mud. :)
