Two families become one

I am so glad I got to be a part of this wedding. They got married at the Rose River Receptions and it was oh so beautiful!! Right on the river, it was breathtaking!! They had the best time the whole day was a party and celebration, just how a wedding should be. It was so fun to shoot in a new location and the glowing bride and groom made it that much easier.

3 month photos

 This happy boy did fantastic during his 3 month photo shoot. His mom wasn't sure we would get any smiles but she started talking to him and he just erupted! Biggest grins and little baby laughs, oh it was so fun. His big sister is having a great time with him and loves helping. I love babies!

The Thatchers

 This is one of my friends from my childhood and her family. I have so many great memories of times spent with her! Her in-laws came up for a visit so they decided to have family pictures done. We had the best time! They were very fun and all of their pictures turned out great. It's always fun to see kids with their grandparents, such happiness! I sure love getting to meet so many neat people.

My dietitian

 This is my dietitian. She is also my neighbor and my friend. She graduated from ISU with her bachelors in dietary sciences. I'm so happy for her she has worked so hard to get through school. These were taken super fast one afternoon so she could get a few announcements sent out to friends and family. I love them I think they are so cute and so fun, a real reflection of her personality! 

Gonna get married

 Engagement photos are always so much fun! The bride and groom to be are just radiant and happy so they are up for anything. These two were no exception! They had so much fun and totally enjoyed all the closeness! They have some amazing plans for the wedding and I can not wait to see it all come together!

My ladies!

These were pictures I took of my young women as we were getting ready for New Beginnings. We have a small group but that doesn't lessen the fun we have. We are lucky that these girls are so sweet and all get along. I know they are so special and I'm grateful that I get to serve them. 

My adopted family

This family has become my family, these girls are my sisters, aunts to my girls but Rochelle IS NOT A GRANDMA!! :) They haven't had family pictures done for almost 4 years so for Christmas I said I'm doing them for you. We went to a pizza place in town (may be one of my new favorite locations) and the train depo. I love how they turned out!Aren't my sisters photogenic?? Trying to get a serious look from CV was a little hilarious! CC can pull it of without any laughter! :) I'm so lucky to have such a fantastic adopted family to love and that loves my family. Oh and by the way this first picture is probably my very favorite of all! And I had to throw the very last picture in, you can see how CP really felt about all the picture taking..haha!
