Luke and Amanda Moore

Luke and Amanda got married October 9th in LeMars, Iowa. They added their own personal touches to the day, which made it extra special. DC shoes for the guys unique bouquets for the girls, and their reception was one we'll never forget! Congratulations you two!

Grayson - 6 months!

This cute little guy was as happy as could be! We photographed him in his nursery and in the sunroom at his house. The bright decor of the home made for the perfect backdrop! And we couldn't help but love that he is already a Vikings fan :)

Danielle and Cody's Engagement Party!

Recently I had the pleasure of throwing one of my coworkers and friends, Danielle, and her fiance Cody an engagement party! It was so much fun! The theme was black and white.. so naturally we set up our studio to take some photo booth shots (this is a popular trend at weddings right now). In addition we made a special "white" cocktail with a blackberry garnish and served food that also supported the theme. It was a blast. I wish the two of them much happiness in the future!

Kathleen & Doug Engaged!

Kathleen and Doug's shoot took place down at the Sonoita Wineries.. and it was so much fun!! The rolling hills make you feel like you are in a different state. The scenery is just beautiful and inspiring! It was fun to hop from one winery to the next to get a new look. Doug and Kathleen are such a great couple who are totally caught up in their love for one another. We are so excited to shoot their wedding in March!

The O'Connor Family- Allison & Emmily's One Year Photographs!

This has got to be one of my all time favorite families.. should I be saying that? Oh well, it's true! Craig and Renee are sweet, laid back, and easy going which makes for 2 very happy babies! Allison and Emmily were in our cutest baby contest back in May and we were thrilled to be able to shoot their one year pictures (11 month if you want to get technical). The shoot was a lot of fun. We started off in the studio and then headed out to a nearby park. I have to say, it's hard to only be posting 3 pictures.. but I guess it's called a sneak peek for a reason :).

Danielle & Matt Engaged!

Danielle and Matt were so fun to work with! We had a blast in rural Minnesota finding unique spots with lots of character. One of which was an old stone barn.. it was absolutely beautiful! And in the land of 10,000 lakes it only made sense to end our engagement session at Toqua lake in Graceville at sunset. We can't wait to shoot their wedding over Thanksgiving weekend! It will be here before we know it!

Luke and Amanda Engaged!

I had the privilege of taking Luke and Amanda's engagement pictures. Luke is one of my good friends from college who loves to have a good time. The past couple of years have been rough for him though as he battled cancer. Luckily he is doing much better! Through it all Amanda was by his side taking care of him.. what a blessing! They also have a baby girl, Lily, who is quite the doll. This session was so much fun to incorporate the whole family and get some great photographs of the two of them caught up in their love for one another. We were able to do the shoot in my hometown of Sioux City, IA and since Lou was unable to tag along on the trip, my mom thankfully agreed to be my assistant. Thanks mom! I am looking forward to their wedding in October. I know it will be a blast.. and even better.. a future that will be full of love, laughter, and fun!
