Natalie & JD E-session

Meet Natalie and JD. You'll be seeing more of them, next month is their wedding. I'm hoping it is a little cooler on their wedding day, but if the day of their session is a trial run, we should be up for anything, it was soooo hot the day of their session. We shot at 7 p.m. to try to avoid the heat, so we got some beautiful light too. We were able to get some great shots :)

Love the sun flair. :) Romantic.


Fun. sparklers :)



love this. I think Natalie looks a little like Nicole Kidman in this one.
it's hard to be serious with the silly glasses on :)


they are avid frisbee golfers. We had fun with this :)



love!


thanks guys for being troopers in this weather. you were awesome!

Ashley and Mike

I can't tell you how much I love photographing friends. Ashley and her daughter have done some modeling for me in the past and now that Ashley is engaged, I am doing her wedding as well. Tonight I got to meet her fiance Mike, who I can't wait to get to know also.

Ashley asked me for romantic pics of her and Mike and she got them! :)





Um.. Favorite!! :)



Be serious, this is a lovey dovey shot... Got the shot..


and it turned into this.. :)


sick sunset light.. Sunflair, I love you! :)


Love this one too!

Ashley and Tom

Ashley and Tom are one of my wedding couples this year, they are getting married in December, so you'll see more of them very soon. They are a great couple and very relaxed in front of the camera. I had a lot of fun with them today at Lake Keomah in the massive windstorm we had today. Ashley was a trooper even though her heels were sinking into the mud and leaves were sticking to the bottom of her shoes. I can already tell it's going to be a great wedding!

Thanks guys!

Sunflair, I have missed you during the cloudy days!! :)

Whitnie and Brian

Whitnie and Brian are one of my 2010 wedding couples, and it was great getting to know them tonight. We hit the Pella area and had a great time. They were up for anything so I tried some new stuff with them, we actually shot a majority of the shoot in the dark, which was great. I found a great phone booth last weekend and they let me do some neat off camera stuff in the booth with them. Thanks Brian for helping me with the flash (I was too short to put it up on the door jam--ha ha) I had a great time taking your pictures, and thanks for not laughing at me when I fell.. ha ha.. I am so clumbsy!

Tricia & Garrett

What a great couple!! These guys are friends of Dana (one of my assistants) and I came along to second shoot with Dana as she did their engagement session. Let me tell you, we had so much fun with them!! We did some very "outside the box" stuff with this couple!

You'll be seeing more of Tricia too, Tricia is doing a trash the dress session with us very soon. As you can see, she's up for just about anything!





A variation of the hand in the back pocket shot.. I like!





Of course a ring shot, I've never done one on a bullet before!


And of course a dip shot! Love it!!

Stephanie and Chris

Stephanie and Chris are one of my wedding couples getting married this fall. Aren't they awesome? We went down to Lake Red Rock near sunset and got some great pics. Even their dog, Diesel, was a great model!

Stephanie and Chris, glad you found a pic to use on your invitation!

I can't wait until the wedding, guys!!

Kate & Kevin

Aren't these two the cutest? I work with Kate at the Hospital, we occasionally eat lunch together and she won the coupon I had put in the United Way Silent Auction, she's been holding on to the coupon for a few months until the weather got nice and low and behold, nice weather is finally..

We got out to Keomah park and the first thing a lady said is that the bugs were really bad, boy was she right. Wow.. I guess summer is here! Even though the bugs were awful, we worked through it, Kevin and Kate were troopers and great models. I got some really good stuff, we took pictures until it got too dark to take any more!

Here's your sneak preview...





I added some neat texture to this picture.


I love this one!!! This was the last picture of the night.

Catherine & Pat

Catherine and Pat are one of my wedding couples this fall, they are such a great looking couple and were very easy to work with. They live in Dyersville and are getting married in Osky, and were back for Tulip Time so it was a great date to get their pictures while they were in town. We wandered around Edmundson park for awhile getting a lot of great shots.

Hey guys, thanks for putting up with the wind in a few shots, Catherine, your hair was perfect for the windy pictures! Okay, Pat, yours was too!

Here are just a few of the great shots I got!


Pat, love the smile here!




Really love this one too.
