Last night I had a dream that I went to dinner with all of my wedding couples that we’ve photographed.  I introduced them to one another and was so excited to create new friendships between these people.  I think this should become a reality, don’t you??? Each year I’m amazed at how BLESSED I am […]

Steph’s strikingly gorgeous blue eyes represent Nathan & Steph’s relationship well : chill.  It is obvious they are naturally themselves around each other & complement one other well.  PLUS they  have the cutest pup that is one of the most well-trained dogs we’ve seen (and he has his own ISU jersey!!!).   Steph grew up going […]

Mr. Thielen has a smile that lights up the world!  He also has a crowd of family that love him dearly (that you can’t see behind the camera making him smile)! :p   It is allllllways such an honor to be trusted to take another photographer’s family photos and Brittany is one of the sweetest!  The […]

Courtney & Aaron got married on the perrrrrfect June day!!  72 degrees, sunny, with the slightest breeze to cool you from the sun!  The perfect weather was just a reflection of the perfect love between Aaron & Courtney.  You can tell by the way they look at each other and hold each other that they […]

I have been just terrible at keeping up the blog this winter.  Call it the winter blues or seasonal depression, but I just go into hibernation mode…crawl into a blanket on the couch and drink hot cocoa! But thankfully Toni pulled me out into the snow for some gorgeous maternity photos and OF COURSE I […]

The morning after a January snow storm, Joe & Marcia woke up to their long-awaited wedding day!  The sun sparkled on the newly fallen snow and added to the brightness of their love as they got married in the sweetest, most intimate ceremony.   I met Joe before he had even met Marci – we photographed […]
