Ben & Carissa: Sneak Peak!

I got to spend this afternoon with this really great couple for their engagement session. We had a blast together and I can’t wait to tell you about it and show you more photos! Here is one of my favorites from the shoot:

I’m dreaming…

of green grass, tank tops, sun dresses, walking barefoot in the grass, sleeping with windows open,  running outside, weddings, outdoor photo shoots, flip flops…SUMMER!

Don’t get me wrong, I love Iowa winters. Yes, I’m one of those crazy ones who actually enjoys snow and chilly weather because with that comes big comfy sweaters, hibernating at coffee shops next to a fireplace, snuggling up in blankets, meaningful conversations, colorful hats, sledding (which I have yet to do this season!), snow shoeing, baking warm cookies…and the list goes on! However, it was been a looonng winter already. It’s been the craziest Iowa winter I’ve experienced, and I find myself dreaming of July! Will this ice and snow ever thaw out?!

I look at these photos of the beautiful Sarah, and I can almost feel the warmth of sunshine from that day! Come, spring, come!

I’m totally with you Allison – once the holidays are over, I’m SO ready for the warm weather again!

New Product

Introducing a fun new product for this year!  I had orignally pictured this product for wedding clients, but I love it for seniors and families as well. This is a 20×20 or 30×30 canvas gallery wrap, designed with 30-40 of your favorite images from your photo session. It’s a great way to showcase  your photos!

This first example is from Erika’s senior portrait session (view her session here):

The gallery wraps are 1 1/2 inches thick:

And one of the best parts about gallery wraps is that they come ready to hang. No need to save up for a very expensive frame, just put a nail in the wall and hang your gorgeous piece of artwork!

Here is the gallery wrap Allison and her family ordered (see the images from their session here). I love the blend of colors and how it speaks their family’s personality to well!
