We set the cake down on the pavement and just hoped and prayed that little Miss Riley would dig into all the sugary pink glory! I have so much fun capturing these one year old milestone sessions, especially when it involves a cake smash, tutus, balloons and the cutest little model a photographer can ever […]
We stampeded out of the starting gate and immediately the sky started to pour. I could feel my shoes filling with water as I splashed through the rain filled streets. The crowd started to spread out as we all hit our stride. Then almost as suddenly as it started, the rain stopped. It was just […]
The light was glowing through the trees from every angle imaginable and the light breeze was keeping the 90 degree heat away as they stood looking over the bluffs at Phelps Park in Decorah. He pulled her in close and gave her a sweet kiss on the forehead. I would be lying if I said […]
