Another newborn that I could not help but share and like before this is from November…oh the holidays how they take over my life. I love how squishy and sweet Miss Nora looks in these images. The best part of capturing newborns, you get them in those first days when the parents are so tired and have a hard time to remember to eat let alone pick up their cameras. Thank you Troll family for yet another wonderful photo shoot!

Little Miss Olivia’s one year cake smash, which again is a bit behind since I am WAY behind on my blog entires. She was a blast to watch tackle this cake and completely indulge in it. Thank you Miss Olivia for all the sweet smiles, giggles, and laughs for me and your mama that morning.

Bailey’s High School Senior Photo Shoot Session…Waukee, Johnston, Des Moines, Grimes, Granger, Polk City, Urbandale, Clive, West Des Moines Photographer

Oh Miss Bailey..what can I say…Oh I know you are simply gorgeous and I truly can not believe you are starting your last year of high school. Sincerely where did the years go because I remember meeting you when you were about 18 months old…I know one thing your mom and I have not aged a bit, no way we are that old yet…well you know better than most that we at least don’t act that old! Oh honey you are an amazing girl that is going to take on the world and conquer it and exceed every dream you can imagine! Love you guys and enjoy this year…well not to much because we don’t want to cause gray years for your mama…that is Lauren’s job!

The Manz Family Pictures…Johnston, Des Moines, Grimes, Granger, Polk City, Urbandale, Clive, West Des Moines Photographer

Here is the Manz family who I have been photographing for two years now and every session we get more and more creative how we are going to get the girls to smile…most of the time some sort of wonderful sugary delight (aka candy) works but now that the youngest is two we had to be even more creative. First princess fruit snacks, then delicious giant lollipops, how about some fancy beads, and finally what got us the biggest smiles ever was a vintage children’s book…who would of guessed…but we will take it! Thank you Manz family for always being up for my crazy ideas…enjoy your sneak peek!

Bruck Family Spring Photo Shoot Session….Johnston, Ankeny, Des Moines Photographer

What a fabulous location this session was at! This gorgeous family just happens to be my brother in law and sister and law and their family and we meet in Panora, Iowa for a Father’s Day picnic so we thought what better time to squeeze in a family  session.  I of course will not be able to take my normal clients here since it is so far from my home but it was fun to check the historical town out with my family. I love to show off my niece and my nephew and can not get over how cute they are. Thanks Bruck family and enjoy!

The Koppin Family….Johnston, Ankeny, Des Moines, Iowa Photographer

Really no other word to describe this family beside…CUTE! I have know Shannon the mom since she was in high school and worked with me and now here she is with three little kiddos of her own. I loved the colors and style she decided on for the session and with the location it couldn’t of been any better. Thank you Koppin family for such a  fantastic session and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.
