Whitnie and Brian

This great couple got married yesterday at Central Reformed Church in Oskaloosa, Iowa. They had a lot of great friends and family that were there to support them on their day. They did the reception at Bradbury Hall at Nelson Pioneer Farm and we stopped uptown to do some pictures at the bandstand which was tons of fun!

Hope you guys have a great time on your honeymoon and enjoy the great holiday weekend too.

There was plenty of time between the formals before the wedding and the wedding so we did some neat stuff in in a room at the church.





This is the vehicle they drove around town in. Very cool!




Good friends.. You can tell.








Rings.. I love!

Chunky Monkey

Check out baby S, she is adorable, and has the cutest little rolls! She's 4 months old and was very alert, she was awake for most of the session. Check out that head of hair too! As a typical girl, she had several adorable clothing changes too (she's a hawkeye fan already). I also took pictures of her big brother at their home and at the park by their house. What a cute family.

best friends

Grace is my daughter's best friend (and they share many things including a name!) and her mom is pretty great too--we are friends and neighbors, so our daughters get to see each other a lot. It was an honor to do their pictures today! We took them out at Keomah--can you believe they've never been there?

Baby R

Baby R is in my baby program, so you'll see a lot of him in the next year--he was so adorable and had such personality already. He even "pretends" to sleep. He closes his eyes and coos, and then would open just one eye to peek at me and see if I was still there. Then he'd quickly go back to "sleep" Sometimes a cute smile would happen after he saw that I was still there.. ha ha..

Tiffanie and Brent--you are so blessed!

Almost asleep...


post "peek" yup, she's still there... lol!

Ericksons

This is the Erickson family, aren't they adorable? They have 2 of the most well behaved children I've ever photographed. We took some pictures in downtown Pella in their street clothes, then they changed into the Dutch costumes they are going to wear during Tulip Time.

What a family!

Tulips

Today was overcast and warm so I headed to Pella to photograph the tulips. I have a lot of fun doing this every year. We dodged the rain and got some good pictures to share!

Preston (3 months)

ooooh, you remember Preston, right? I did his infant pictures awhile ago, he has grown soooo much!!

He is absolutely adorable and his mom said he took a 3 hour nap after the shoot. I'm so glad I could help them out with naptime--LOL!



Yes, this is my new favorite picture..!
