Jill & Wayne 05.16.09

Ceremony: Wakonda Christian Church, Des Moines, IA

Reception: Echo Valley Country Club , Norwalk, IA

Jill and Wayne were such a fabulous couple. It's funny to see trates of you and your hubby in an other couple and I defiantly did with Jill and Wayne! Jill and her family are so close and I felt privileged to be able to even witness it!! Jill was absoluetly break taking and I loved her dress it reminded me of Marilyn Monroe! I wish nothing but the best for the both of you! Here are just a few of my favorites!!

2 down 14 to go!!

Wendi & Adam 05.09.09

So I realize I need to start playing catch BIG TIME!! It's amazing how having a child changes not only your concept of time but completely reschedules your life!! So here I am playing catch up hoping I can get most of the way caught up!!

Wendi & Adam 05.09.09

Ceremony: Lutheran Church of Hope, West Des Moines, IA
Reception: Marriott, West Des Moines, IA

I had the privilege of meeting Wendi and Adam last Nov. for a portrait session. Since then they have moved out of Iowa. It's sad when the state losing such great people. They are truly one of the most caring people I've had the opportunity to meet and capture!! The sun was shining and it was an fabulous day to get married!! One of the little boys (Eric) had some rocking Rainbow socks on. He insisted I take a picture of them and I was more than happy to oblige!!

Enjoy some of my favorites!!!

1 down 15 to go to be caught up on weddings!!!!

Tabatha & Kenny 04.25.09

Tabatha & Kenny are such a fun couple! Every time I was with Tabatha we ended up laughing about the most unexpected things! Unfortunately It rained on their wedding day; the good news is that it is suppose to bring good luck and it gave Tabatha and Kenny an excuse to play dress up!! Kenny (who is a meteorologist) must have made a deal with the man upstairs because the dress-up day was beyond breathtaking! Here are a few (OK a lot) of my favorite images!! It was hard for me to choose!!!


Funny story about the photo above. Kenny's family got these classes and during the toasts all of their family members stood up and put these on!! Not only was it unique but it was absolutely hilarious!! You can imagine the fun everyone had with these fun glasses once the dancing started!!

Now that you've seen them I'm sure you can understand my dilemma in trying to limit the amount to put in this blog....OH Well!!

Erin & Will 04.18.09 (& 05.02.09)

So far this wedding season has been fabulous I finally have a week to maybe start posting some of my favorites from each wedding.

Erin & Will are both phenomenal people! As always I felt completely honored to be apart of their wedding day. They had a small wedding and a longer reception 2 weeks later I had the priveledge to shoot both and here are a few favorites from those two days! Enjoy!

The last three shots were taken with my new "LensBaby" It was the first time I got to use it on something other than still photos. It was difficult to get use to but I got a few shoots that I was really happy with....

Winter Special!!

A Christmas Presant that can't be topped!

Wow how the last year has flown by! Seems like just yesterday I was telling family I was going to have a baby, when in reality it was May '08. Now I'm sitting in the rocking chair in my little man's room just enjoying the moment. I'M A MOMMY!! I love it. Does that surprise anyone? I love kids and now I have my own to spoil!! Motherhood is defiantly more than I could have hoped for I find myself just looking down at him wondering how it's possible that I could have created something so prefect. It blows my mind.

Now you know I have photos to share.

Santa's Early Delivery....

One of my new favorite Pastimes.... Giving Eskimo Kisses

A photo that will bring me to tears a few years from now... or days

I hope your holiday season was at least half as good as mine, if so it was FABULOUS!!

Alex Class of 09

Today was a busy day and even though I'm exhausted I had to give a little sneak peak of what I was up to. Alex was a lot of fun and we did some different things. Here are a few of my "first glance" favorites.
