Adam & Dayna: Engagement

Adam and Dayna are one of the sweetest couples I’ve worked with! I met them through some friends at Valley Church in Des Moines, and they are getting married on November 7th – coming right up! Dayna has a smile that is so contagious! Here are some of my favorites:

So sweet. I love these. Not a hard task for them to “get close” on this day as it was COLD!!

I love how they can’t seem to contain the joy of their love for each other!

This is where Adam proposed to Dayna! He made her a photo album that incorporated a poem he wrote her, and the poem ended with his proposal! How sweet is that?!

Erika: Senior Session

Erika was so fun to work with!! It was a dynamic session, plus we had a lot of fun! =) Erika is such a beautiful woman, inside and out! She has incredible eyes and skin, which made her so fun photograph! Plus, she has such great style - with every new outfit she put on I exclaimed, “AH! Look at you! SO cute!!”

So, from our session I learned that Erika LOVES shoes. I mean, this girl has a major shoe fetish! So I thought it would be really fun to do a “shoe session” with all her shoes to create a collage with all her shoes…so here’s the final product!

The George Family Photos

Meet the George’s! I met Allison (the Mom) at Toad Valley Golf Course (she and her husband are the owners of the golf course) when I photographed Brendan & Ashley’s reception there. It was a joy to meet her family, and it was the most energetic session I’ve done yet!! Her kiddos are adorable, and little Sophia sure loves to pose and be the center of attention! They certainly are a good-looking family; enjoy their photos!

Carson sat on Sophia’s lap, and she immediately declared, “I AM NOT SANTA!!!!!” So cute! It was a great moment!
