RIVERSIDE FAMILY SESSION | KOENIG

Family

When the weather is nice, it is a necessity to take advantage of it! The Koenig’s snuck down to the Island in Prairie for a few quick family photos for their Christmas card in between my two other sessions that day. And I have to say, while hanging out with family is always fun, my […]

THE PERFECT FALL NIGHT | THE LANGE’S

Family

Man oh man! The Lange’s had me running all over Pikes Peak last week, but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t having a blast the entire time. From throwing leaves to an impromptu race, it was a night I will never forget! We just happened to pick the what seemed like the […]

SEED SAVERS SESSION | VENS FAMILY

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 […]

WAUKON SUNSET SESSION | STUBBS FAMILY

Family

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 […]

IS THIS HEAVEN? NO IT’S IOWA

Family

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 […]
