The Troll Family…Johnston Waukee Des Moines Ankeny Urbandale Grimes Photographer Iowa

Troll_7_of_16_

Another one of my favorite families! This is the Troll family who I have photographed at least five times, and ever time it is an adventure (or at least the parents think so…the kids and I have a blast together). We got in on the tale end of the fall foliage in November before it was all gone and before the snow decided to fall. We also squeezed in Miss Nora’s one year cake smash in my studio. Thank you as always Troll family for being so entertaining and one of my favorites!

The Miller Family…Johnston Waukee Des Moines Ankeny Urbandale Grimes Photographer Iowa

Here is another wonderful family, the Miller’s, who are so funny and riot to work with. This was another family fall session but we also did Miss Eve’s one year cake smash…now there may or may not have been wipes to clean her up with after the fact and she might have had to ride home all the way to Grinnell in just a diaper and lots of cake smashed everywhere..but I am sure she had a great time doing it. Thank you Miller family for the laughs and amazing pictures!

This is 2015 high school senior Christian who is not only amazing to photograph but a truly nice kid. We started the session downtown Des Moines and wanted to represent his love for skate boarding and his wrestling career which we did both these downtown. Then we headed for Greenwood Park that had gorgeous fall leaves just starting, October is such a great time of year for senior pictures. Good luck Christian in the future!
