This sweet little thing is going to be a senior at Western Christian. She loves volleyball & track and is the youngest with 4 older brothers. I guarantee this girl is protected beyond belief!
Spending the evening with Olivia and her mom was so fun. We braved the bugs, deep slopes and many people staring. Which as a photographer I am so used to!

Isaac and Olivia were married at Seeds of Faith in Lester, IA with reception to follow at Grand Falls Casino in Larchwood, IA.
I knew it was going to be a fantastic day when Lauren and I walked into the bridal suite. So many girls laughing and eating, cause that’s what us ladies do best. Olivia screeched with excitement and that is what I love. She was SO HAPPY. Which is exactly how all brides should be on their wedding day.

Meet the Obbink family. A calm, sweet relaxed crew. We all know that most boys aren’t big fans of having their photos taken, but these 3 (or 4) were great sports. I like to think we even had some fun and made great memories they’ll all cherish! Their outfits were on point and we actually had beautiful non humid weather!! Does that ever happen in July? Enjoy!

Taylor & Dulce were married in Orange City, Iowa at Trinity Reformed Church, with a reception to follow at the Crossroads Pavilion in Sheldon, Iowa.
When I think of this wedding, the word ‘joy’ comes to mind. The whole day everyone seemed so happy. When we were just a tad behind schedule, everyone was happy. Taylor hurt his leg and needed some stitches, (his dad ended up super gluing it shut for the time being) he smiled through it all. You’d never know he had an injury!

It was obvious when I did Luke and Christa's engagement pictures that they were meant to be together. They are the kind of couple that make photographing weddings so much fun! From an incredibly sweet and touching first look to the first dance at the end of the night, this day was full of memorable moment

Give me two sisters in twinning outfits and it will make any photographer happy. I had a fun, energetic morning with Landry & Claire. They love their mama as much as they love their Cheerios. ) Sometimes you just need some Cheerios and a soft blanket to be happy, right?? That did the trick, These sisters ate, shared kisses and plenty of waves. So adorable! Enjoy!

The Van Roekels are a stinkin’ wonderful family. I have been working with these guys for about 2 years now! Over those 2 years, I have formed relationships with all of them. Their daughter Peyton and my daughter Aria have had a play date which consumed of categorizing Beanie Babies by animal type and then throwing them down the steps. :) The next one to come is going to be a pizza picnic in the park! Cannot wait. :)

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..

Winter is always a slower time of the year for me as a photographer. It gives me time to work on the business end of things. Templates, website and continuing education.

Another year being blessed by these guys. For those of you who don’t know, these are my neighbors and friends. 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.
