beautiful fall, beautiful family…

i have been photographing this wonderful family since i started by business three years ago…i always look so forward to my time with them and wish i could bring their three kiddo’s home with me every now and again.  i just adore them…so kind hearted and well mannered. and, they tell great jokes too.  🙂 and, well, their parents are pretty awsome too!  🙂  our session always ends with hugs which is the best…this is what makes my job so rewarding.  the relationships i have been blessed with due to my work is so gratifying and keeps me going.  thank you zielinski family…your family has a very special bond and i love seeing it through my lens.

miss ellie…

we had the most beautiful fall day for miss ellie’s one year shoot…her big brown eyes sparkled in the sunlight and she was a perfect little model for our photo session.  i enjoyed meeting her parents who are also fellow iowans.  🙂  thank you angie and jason…it was great to meet you three.  ellie is very sweet and so so darling.  oh, and i cannot forget your other furry baby who was so well behaved during our session.

gummy smiles…nils

i heart this age…nils was the sweetest.  full of smiles and rolls.  and, his parents were just as sweet.  watching the two of them interact with their baby boy melted my heart.  i really love it when a photo speaks words and emotion to me…and, the photos below of nils and his parents do just that…you can just feel the love.  what a beautiful family…thank you so much bryan and katie.  it was such a joy to meet you three.

fun in the sun…

it was the most beautiful summer afternoon and i got to spend it with olivia and paige…two little blondes who were adorable and sweet.  we had fun playing and i even got a few kisses during our shoot.  it doesn’t get it any better than that.  🙂  it was nice to meet you jen and matt…thank you!

little miss adrienne…

this little 19 month old was busy busy busy.  full of lively, sweet energy and easily amused by her daddy’s tickles.  🙂  she was having such a joyous time running “away” from us most of our shoot.  ha!  so fun to see you chris and tracy.  your adrienne is pretty darn cute.  🙂  🙂
