The Jungblut Family {Cousins}

In October, I headed to Cedar Rapids for a session with these super adorable cousins.  Unfortunately, the twins weren't feeling the best, but we still managed to get a few smiles from them.  Such adorable little ones!

The Schrader Family

 

At the end of September, I met up with the adorable Schrader children at Sunset Park in Washington for their mini session.  This cute quartet was full of energy during the session, but lots of fun to work with! 

Busy Season

Oh my, I am so behind on sharing all the amazing sessions I've had lately.  I've been so busy with sessions and weddings currently that if I'm not shooting, I'm editing.  Sadly, that means blogging and Facebook posting have not been happening.

Maryann {6 Years Old}

Recently, I headed to southern Minnesota to photograph Maryann's six year portraits.  She did such a wonderful job during her session.  She was full of big smiles.  I have been photographing this sweet girl since she was just about one month old.  Hard to believe how the time has flown by and she is now six!

Mini-Sessions!

 A reminder to book your Mini-Sessions soon!  Fall dates are filling quickly.  Get yours before they're gone!

Fall Mini Sessions Are Coming!

Hard to believe the summer is winding to a close.  The kids are packing up their backpacks and the school year is about to begin.  It is once again the time of year to start thinking of family portraits.  This year, I'm doing my mini-sessions a little differently.  Instead of one weekend, I'm running a mini-session special for two months!  These great prices will be available from September 1 - October 31.  There is limited availability for these sessions, so be sure to book yours soon. 

Each session will be 30 minutes at a location of your choice within 15 miles of the studio.  

Carter & Adria

 Carter and Adria came out to our Spring Mini-Sessions at City Park in Iowa City.  It was a beautiful sunny day and the willow tree by the river was a perfect location for us to set up.  I love how well their outfits coordinated with the banner and quilt I had available for the sessions.  It was amazing since we hadn't planned that at all.  

Spring Mini Sessions!

A reminder, time is running out to schedule your Spring Mini Session.  There are limited time slots available.  Contact us today to reserve your spot!

Emma {4 Years Old}

 

 
This little ray of sunshine is the adorable Miss Emma.  I recently headed to Dubuque to capture her portraits.  She was such a good little model, the most cooperative four year old I've ever posed.  She loved getting dressed up for the pictures and was a little disappointed when we were done with the session.  So cute!  

Spring Mini Sessions {Schedule yours today!}

Hard to believe this cold, snowy, seemingly never-ending winter is finally giving way to clear skies, sunshine, and warm weather.  Soon the grass will be green again and flowers will be blooming.  So be sure to schedule your Spring Mini Session soon!  Session times are available on a first come, first serve basis and are already starting to fill.  This is a great opportunity to update the portraits on your wall with something special, whether they are family portraits or portraits of your children.  Contact Geno Photography today to schedule your session! 

Garrett {2 Years Old}

Garrett came into the studio in December for his two year old session.  He was a little shy at first, but as the session went on and he started playing with the alphabet block we have in the studio he warmed up to the session.  I adore his sweet little smile.  He and his big brother, Tanner, had a lot of fun building (and destroying) block towers.  The photos of them playing together are so much fun.

Mieka & Henry

In November, I met up with these two little ones near their home in Riverside.  Just a short walk from their house is a pond with some beautiful tall grasses and a lovely little white gazebo beside it.  We had a lot of fun walking around the pond taking pictures.  I don't think either of the kiddos was terribly excited to stop playing and have their portrait taken, as any kid would be, they did great.  I love the photos of them interacting.  As wonderful as photos are when they are smiling and looking at the camera, I truly adore the photos that show relationships. Whether it is the relationship between a brother and sister, a family, or a newly married couple.  Those moments where they are talking, interacting, playing together are beautiful.

Carter & Adria

 Recently, I met up in Iowa City with the adorable duo that is Carter and his little sis, Adria.  Seriously, these to are the definition of cute.  Our location of choice for the evening was the Iowa City Dog Park.  Sounds a little odd I'm sure, but the grassy field next to the dog park is a location I adore, beautiful tall grasses mixed with wildflowers, love it!  

My Girls {Moments Together}

I am thankful my children don't run and hide whenever a camera is picked up.  They have each spent a lot of time in front of a camera since before they were born.  There are definitely days when I get the, "seriously, Mom? I have to smile for this?"  But, on the whole they embrace it.  In fact, today they requested their photos be taken.  How could I deny these sweet faces?

The Hatter's Tea

Last week, I head to Foster Woods to photograph this adorable Mad Hatter themed tea party.  In attendance were Alice, the Doormouse, the March Hare, and of course the Mad Hatter.  The girls had a ton of fun dressing up and enjoying tea and cupcakes.  I love how the photos turned out, so bright and sweet.

Cassidy's Crochet Creations

This past winter, Cassidy from Cassidy's Crochet Creations was so kind to make these BEAUTIFUL, warm winter creations for my girls.  As soon as they saw them, my girls fell instantly in love.  In fact, it was hard for me to even get them to take them off to sleep!  They are super soft and warm.  The colors are gorgeous.  Seriously, it doesn't get any better.  To see more of Cassidy's Crochet Creations check them out on their Facebook page.

The Henke Cousins

 

 Last weekend, this adorable quartet of cousins came into the studio.  I have been photographing the two older cousins for three years now.  It is so fun to see how much they've grown each time they come back into the studio.  They are so sweet.  I loved getting to meet their new cousins as well.  I am truly honored to be invited into the lives of families and chronicle their lives.  It is one of my favorite parts of my job.  I can't wait to see how much they've grown by the next time they come into the studio.

My Girls in the Pompous Grass

 
Ok, so I love, love, love pompous grass in the fall, especially in the evening sun.  This year I finally got my kiddos dressed up and headed out to a spot just outside of Wellman to take some portraits.  I am absolutely in love with the results.  L & G had so much fun dancing in their tutus during the session, so despite the slight chill in the air (don't worry they had coats and a nice warm car to sit in just a few feet away) they had a blast. 

Claire {18 Months}

 It was so much fun to have this adorable little cutie pie in the studio.  Claire was such a great little model.  Her big blue eyes just melt my heart.  She was fun and playful.  I love the moments we captured while she snuggled and interacted with her mommy.  Simply precious.
