Let me introduce you to the Matthias family, one of my very favorite families to work with. This was the perfect spring session with loads of blooming trees. Thank you Matthias family for always trusting in me to capture your family.
Here is how I kept myself busy through my down time this winter and early spring…friends shoots. Oh my what fun and crazy girls I got to hang out with. The temperature at these sessions ran from 18 degrees on snowy day up to 76 degrees…only in Iowa would this happen. I love to do both these kinds of sessions, both urban and snow sessions so it worked out great to keep myself busy. It was fun capturing the girls doing the serious look..but I think my favorite pictures from all of these sessions are the outtakes when girls are laughing and being goofy, because isn’t that what friendship is all about. I am so glad that the girls not only had fun but also got to make memories with their best friends that will last a life time.
Another one of my favorite families! This is the Troll family who I have photographed at least five times, and ever time it is an adventure (or at least the parents think so…the kids and I have a blast together). We got in on the tale end of the fall foliage in November before it was all gone and before the snow decided to fall. We also squeezed in Miss Nora’s one year cake smash in my studio. Thank you as always Troll family for being so entertaining and one of my favorites!
This is 2015 high school senior Christian who is not only amazing to photograph but a truly nice kid. We started the session downtown Des Moines and wanted to represent his love for skate boarding and his wrestling career which we did both these downtown. Then we headed for Greenwood Park that had gorgeous fall leaves just starting, October is such a great time of year for senior pictures. Good luck Christian in the future!
Let me introduce you to the gorgeous Miss Mikayla! It was so hot this day (104 with heat index) but you would never know that from how stunning the images came out. One of my favorite moments during a senior session was with Mikayla when the sun was setting and she was surrounded by dragonflies, which images is the third image below. Good luck in the future Mikayla you such a bright future ahead of you.
2015 Waukee high school senior Mikaela who is beyond talented as an amazing dancer. So of course when I heard this I wanted to make sure I captured something that is so very important to her. We did part of her session in an urban setting and then headed to a lake for second half of her session. Mikaela you have such a bright future that I look forward to following. Good Luck!
