Ames Wedding Photography~Erica and Jon…engaged!

Posted on February 18, 2010

Erica and Jon are brave souls…I suppose they have to be as they are both members of the Iowa National Guard.  They were great sports toughing it out in the cold and snowy conditions that we had to deal with for their engagement session.  The results are fabulous though!  I can’t wait to shoot their wedding, which is just around the corner in May.  It will be here before I know it.  We are all just hoping that we don’t still have to wade through this much snow by then.

Des Moines Wedding Photography~Liz and Daryl…engaged!

Posted on February 18, 2010

Liz and Daryl weren’t sure they really wanted to do a studio engagement session, but they weren’t real sure they wanted to brave the frigid Iowa weather for the sake of their engagement session either.  So, we (ok, I) decided to shoot their session at the Jordan Creek Town Center Mall in Des Moines.  It took a little convincing…Liz was a bit nervous about shooting in the mall.  However, we got some great shots and had a lot of fun in the process.  We did get kicked out after about 40 minutes (I now know that I need to ask FIRST next time).  Daryl did a great job of pretending to be disappointed in the short session, LOL.  I hope you enjoy these engagement photos.  It was nice to try out some things a little different than the standard stuff.

A huge thank you to Liz and Daryl for putting up with me and my slightly crazy ideas!

Looking for senior models…

Posted on February 11, 2010

It is that time of year already!  Time to be thinking ahead to the upcoming senior portrait season.  If you are a current junior in high school and are looking for a central Iowa photographer to do your portait session please consider me.  I am currently looking for senior representatives for next season.  So what is a senior rep you might ask?  My senior reps are clients that get complimentary sessions (aka free stuff) for doing the session early so that I can use their images in marketing materials for next year.  In a sense, my senior reps are models

Please contact me today if you are interested in being a rep for next year.

Makenna

As I am going through some of my work from the last year I am going to be putting up some of my favorites from past sessions.  Makenna did a senior portrait session with me this past fall and she was a blast to work with.  She is very easy going and we had a lot of fun going to several different locations around town including Brookside Park and the downtown area, as well as a few in the studio.
