At the beginning of the year I made a list of locations that were on my bucket list. Some of them I knew would be a reach (mountain session anyone), while most of them were a bit more attainable! One of those spots was the Seed Savers Exchange just north of Decorah. It is a […]
Rain, rain, go away! That was the mantra I was telling myself on the entire drive to Decorah on Saturday night. I had checked the radar that morning – no rain. I had checked the radar at noon – 30% chance of scattered showers four hours before our session. I checked the radar at 3:00 […]
As of about twenty minutes ago, I decided that if I could pick my superhero power, I would want to be able to control the weather! This unpredictable weather really has a way of messing with my schedule. We had to reschedule Harrison’s senior photos from last week to this past Friday because of the […]
We met just as the sun was setting at the Waukon Park. The light was glowing, there was a slight breeze and a calm quiet filled the air. I set up the first shot and as I changed one setting on my camera, a loud burst of laughter errupted from in front of me. I […]
I have a confession to make. With how crazy hectic life has been the last few months, and especially the last few weeks, I completely forgot about our anniversary today. Ethan brought it up Monday night and it wasn’t until he pretty much spelled it out for me that I realized it was TODAY! I […]

Pop the champagne, it’s time to celebrate! Momma Howe and I made the trip to Iowa City on Thursday for Nolan and Kate’s engagement session. (Thanks again Mom, the nap and editing time was much needed!) We traveled all over town to buildings with the perfect creamy backgrounds, to a packed brewery with the most […]
The rain may have put a damper on last night’s senior session, but that just meant more time in the office to work on all the magic from this past week. And man oh man was it magical! I have shot in Prairie du Chien more times than I can count and no matter how […]
The light was golden, her eyes were sparkling and she was smiling down at a garbage can. Yep, you read that right! We got images like THIS posing in random alleys lined with garbage cans!!! Don’t get me wrong I LOVE pretty locations (give me all the willows and wild flowers, please and thank you) […]
I was driving along what seemed to be a never ending dead end gravel road just trusting that my GPS knew where it was going when I got that feeling. You know that feeling where you get those butterflies in your stomach not from nerves but because you know in your gut that magic is […]
