Here is how I kept myself busy through my down time this winter and early spring…friends shoots. Oh my what fun and crazy girls I got to hang out with. The temperature at these sessions ran from 18 degrees on snowy day up to 76 degrees…only in Iowa would this happen. I love to do both these kinds of sessions, both urban and snow sessions so it worked out great to keep myself busy. It was fun capturing the girls doing the serious look..but I think my favorite pictures from all of these sessions are the outtakes when girls are laughing and being goofy, because isn’t that what friendship is all about. I am so glad that the girls not only had fun but also got to make memories with their best friends that will last a life time.

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!

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!

Here is the Metz family that wanted fall foliage family pictures and mid October is perfect time of year to get this type of session. We meet at Big Creek so we not only got fall foliage we also got wild flowers and water as backdrops. Thank you Metz family.

Let me introduce you to this sweet family the Sullivan’s. I meet the family on a early October day down at Vally Junction which is full of amazing character from brick walls, fire escapes, painted doorways, even a metal wall. Thank you Sullivan family for being such great family to capture.

Here is the Beach family that meet me on a freezing cold Saturday morning in early October up at Big Creek Lake, and when I say freezing it was 34 degrees. We could see our breath and the kids shivered through the session but we still ended up with some amazing images for this family.

We and amazing lighting right before sunset and some very cute kiddos to work with. Thank you Sorensen family and I hope you enjoy your images.
