molly and dan

molly and dan are getting married this year in council bluffs. I am not able to photograph this wedding either, but was thrilled to be able to do something for them. We met up downtown for a short session and once again lucked out with the weather. These two had me rolling in laughter on a number of occasions. I would ask them to cuddle up and get close and molly would be all over it but dan wasn't too sure about it. It was adorable to watch unfold. I've had the privilege of hanging out with these two outside of a photo sitting and they are bound to have a fantastic wedding. I also hear they just sold their house out in west des moines so I'm secretly hoping for them to move closer to beaverdale so they can join in on all the summer fun!

christine and Kolby

Christine and Kolby were married on march 14th. This was the first wedding I ever attended at the Des Moines Zoo! We met up with Christine and her entourage at her hotel then headed off to the zoo for the main event. The weather cooperated wonderfully allowing us to get some photos outside. Everything went very smooth from start to finish and Christine was stunning!
Best of luck to the two of you, may all your years be filled with joy and love!

dylan at 7 months

here are a few from my quick session with my youngest niece, Dylan. She could possibly be the happiest and calmest baby I've ever known. I guess it could have something to do with her two older sisters and how wild and fun they can be. Dylan usually just sits and watches the fun unfold in front of her. And if you can get her laughing, you would swear it comes from the deepest part of her belly and you can't help but laugh too. When we did these photos she was still in the stage of babbling lots, arms swinging and lots of little giggles. I just love my nieces to pieces, I am such a lucky person to be an aunt to three amazing little girls!

heather & scott

I've been second shooting for Amy Allen this year until my wedding season kicks off in May. Our first wedding together was for Heather and Scott, even though it rained most of the day we all had a wonderful time. Heather was quite the trooper, she braved the chilly air so we could get some photos outside under the large awning at the church. Here are a few from that day. I hope you guys have had a fantastic first few weeks of marriage, and remember to always show your children the video of Scott dancing with his favorite cardboard box!
congrats!!

sweet little annabelle

Meet sweet annabelle, she was born friday morning after another marathon labor of 28 hours! She is very sweet, and very tiny at just over 6 lbs. She has the cutest little face and tiny little legs and is very, very alert! Meredith made the best comment, she said now she understands the immediate love you get for a child the second you see it. I haven't experienced that feeling yet, but seeing her and JR with their new daughter nearly had me in tears. I swear I'm turning into my mother more every day, I cried after leaving the hospital this day and at the wedding I did yesterday!

Congrats you two on your new daughter, I can't wait to watch her grow up. You two are both amazing, such wonderful friends, and will be such loving parents. That said, here is a sneak peak at a few from the hospital. She is gorgeous.

Lily Jean

Its baby mania here in Des Moines right now. I had three friends give birth in three days! Meet little Lily. She is gorgeous with a full head of dark black hair, just like her mom. I arrived at the hospital the day after Lily was born for a few hospital photos and Emily was all ready to go. She was bouncing around the room, chatting up a storm, and as beautiful as ever. One would hardly believe she just had a baby the day before, not to mention the 27 hour process! Jesse was as calm as ever, you could tell he was so proud, and so amazed with both baby and mom. Here are a few of my favorites from the hospital. We meet again in a few weeks to do some newborn stuff so I'll be sure to post some of those as well.
Enjoy your new baby girl and all the blessings she is sure to bring!!
we all love you guys very much.
