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.

Luck Family | Waterloo, Iowa | Family photograpy

The Luck family has a special place in my heart. I've known them for a few years now (as you can see here, and here, and here ...well you get the idea) and I always enjoy catching up when we get together. Isabelle couldn't be any cuter and she is so smart and witty! And of course i love having Carlos & Sadie along!

Tuck & Paige | Couples | Reinbeck, Iowa

Tuck & Paige (and Trevor and Monique) came to see me awhile back. We had to work fast to squeeze these pictures in between the bouts of nasty weather.
It was fun to get a few of Tuck & Trevor together too! Gotta love that brotherly love!

Drake 18 months & 2 years | Waterloo, Iowa

I been working with Drake since, well before he was born! And finally after two years he's decided we are friends. (It just took him a while to warm up to me, lol!!)  He is such a sweet boy with an infectious smile! And the blond blond hair!!

I've been fortunate to work with a number of talented wedding photographers in the past. Here's just a smattering of wedding photographs i came across while cleaning up files these past few weeks.
