Mary and Ryan ~ engaged!

Posted on April 14, 2010

Mary and Ryan chose to do an engagement session in two locations.  We started at Brookside Park in Ames and then headed to the Main Street District.  The great part about this is that they get such an amazing variety of looks and images and it doesn’t take a whole lot of extra time.  It was a bit chilly when we did these, but they were very cooperative.  I will be doing their wedding photography coming up soon too.  The wedding is in June and will be held at St. Patrick’s in Imogene, Iowa with a reception to follow at the Scottish Rite Masonic Center in Omaha.  After an engagement session like this I can’t wait to do the wedding shoot!  Hope you enjoy the pics.

This was cute, and funny. I told Mary if she was going to grab the tie she had to put some attitude into it. She did...for about 10 seconds and then burst out laughing.

This is a vintage phone booth in the local bar where they shared their first kiss.

A maternity session ~

Posted on April 14, 2010

I recently had the opportunity to capture some images of Genya.  Maternity shoots are such a fabulous thing to do.  So many pregnant women feel bloated and huge and just plain uncomfortable when they get to those last few weeks of a pregnancy.  What better way to document how beautiful, precious and amazing this time is than with a special photo session.  Genya and her husband Dan live here in Ames and are expecting their new arrival any time now.  I am especially excited as they are the newest members of my Little Ones program, so they will be back 5 times over the next year to document all of the changes that their little one goes through.  My Little Ones program is a great way to freeze so many details…and at a great price point too.  Be sure to inquire if you are interested and I can send you some additional information.  And now for some images!
