Michael Family | Cedar Falls, Iowa | Family Photography

I don't know if I realized, way back, when I shot Rob & Leslie's wedding (seen here) that I would have the privileged to watch their family grow and grow up. I'm always impressed with how wonderful these 6 kids are, Rob & Leslie should be proud. They are always glad to see me (which is just a bonus for me!) and are fun and relaxed. I enjoy visiting with them as much as I enjoy actually getting the images. The older kids are always easy but Reese can be her own girl (which is one of the things i LOVE about her) but this time she was a right there with the big girls. Drake is the youngest and I've worked with him the most and he was my buddy on this day. He was more interested in standing with me, behind the camera, than being with his family, in front of the camera. Now really, i can't complain about that! What an absolutely beautiful family. 

Soska Family | Hudson, Iowa |

I had a great time working with the Soska family. I met them at their family farm in rural Hudson and I could see Jaci's touches all around.  She did a great job of creating a really beautiful backdrop for her family's photos. I've known Jaci for a long time and I've been fortunate to work with Nicole's family before so it was nice to meet the rest of the family.
