Verbeek family

Round 2 of Couch in the Leaves.. It was insanely windy in town--I had even put a hairspray alert on my Facebook page to warn my families about the wind (I looove hairspray-a whole other blog post)... But out where we were, the wind wasn't too terribly bad. Temps were beautiful for November (in the 60's!), the sun was beautiful and hazy. ahhh, I love the hazy look the sun gives off when it's high in the sky..

Look at this wonderful family. I just love their outfit colors. They colors are fantastic. If you're wondering what to wear, take a page out of their book; bright, solid, coordinating colors (you don't all have to wear the same thing!)

Okay, so this isn't a couchy one.. But I still like it :)

Modern technology!!

Couch in a Field Extravaganza II

Couch in a Field this year was interesting.. So we had 93 degree temps on Saturday, which gave me a sunburn during my first session the sun was so strong.. And the poor people that showed up in sweaters--they were troopers though! Sunday wasn't quite so warm, but in the high 80's. Didn't feel like fall at all, but it looked like it which was all we needed!

The Webb family came all the way from Ankeny. Mom's a photographer and we are going to swap services this fall so I can get some pictures of my kids!



Jennifer, Glen, and Cookie came.. I work with Jennifer. She is awesome! And Cookie even smiled for this picture :)

Felicia, Jessy, and the kids came...


Brent, Tiffanie, and Ronin came...


My neighbors Kelli, Doug, Douglas, Jason, Stef, and Grace came... They haven't had a family picture in 25 years.


The DeGeest family came.. Here's one of their girls. Adorable!



April brought her family; Nathan, Brayden, and Jackson.



Thanks for coming out guys, I really appreciate it. It was so good to see everyone. I can't wait until the next bunch of Couch sessions planned in a few weeks.!!!

So....... I promised pictures of the Couch in a Field event and here they are!!

Couch in a Field Extravaganza II

I've been really really bad about blogging lately, but I just wanted to tell everyone that I am super crazy stoked about this year's Couch in a Field Extravaganza. It will be tons of fun and I can't wait to use my super cool red vintage looking couches this weeekend. These couches have taken up residence on my deck aka Margarita Lounge and they are super comfy and uber cool looking. This event is several months in the making and I think we found the perfect location to do pictures. The trees and fall foliage are beautiful too, making it the perfect storm for this great event.!

This year we have 7 families participating!

I promise promise promise, I will post pictures of the event!
