Thomas + Lisa {Engaged}

In the middle of October, I met with Thomas and Lisa at St. Mary's in Iowa City to begin their engagement session.  It was a beautiful fall evening, perfect for portraits.

Phillip + Megan {Engagement}

On a gorgeous Monday evening in September, I met with Phillip and Megan at the Iowa City Public Library to begin their engagement session.  Thankfully, they didn't think I was completely crazy as I navigated them down the back alleys, which are some of my favorite places to shoot in downtown Iowa City.  I especially love the area behind Atlas.  The ivy wall and spiral staircase are amazing!

Lee + Julie {Engaged}

The second weekend of July, I met up with Lee and Julie at the Iowa City Public Library for their engagement session.  Julie is a professor of literature at UNI in Cedar Falls, so books hold a dear place in her heart.

Brian + Maggie {Engagement: Part 2}

After we wandered downtown Iowa City, we headed down to the buildings by the IMU.  I love the textures and tones in the copper wall.  So beautiful! 

Brian + Maggie {Engagement: Part 1}

 We began Brian and Maggie's engagement session at the beautiful Iowa City Public Library.  Maggie is a librarian, so it was a perfect location for their engagement session.  I love all of the beautiful natural light in the ICPL.

Brian + Thea {Wedding: Part 2}

After the ceremony, the bridal party boarded a party bus and headed around downtown Iowa City for portraits.  Our first stop was the Chemistry building at the University of Iowa.  Many years before, Brian and Thea first met in a chemistry lecture, so it was a perfect location for portraits.

Brian + Maggie {Sneak Peek}

I had so much fun with Brian and Maggie during their Iowa City engagement session.  For now, I'm just going to share a sneak peek.  Be sure to check back again soon for more from their session!

Ryan & Kelsey {Wedding}

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of assisting Megan Klauer Photography in capturing this beautiful event.  The day began at Hotel Vetro in Iowa City, where both Kelsey and Ryan were getting ready.  I love all the beautiful natural light in Hotel Vetro.  It is a gorgeous location.

Sam & Kayla {Engaged}

 Last weekend, I met up with Sam and Kayla in downtown Iowa City for their engagement session.  They drove in from their home in Northern Indiana for the session.  It was so wonderful working with them both and getting to know them better before their wedding this October!  I've said it before, but it's so true, I love engagement sessions!

Cooper {Class of 2015}

Meet Cooper!  She is one of our amazing Class of 2015 Senior Models.  Recently, we headed to downtown Iowa City for her Senior Model session.  Cooper braved the cold, windy March weather for her portraits and was such a great sport despite the cold.  The windiest part of our session was on Iowa Ave. in front of the beautiful mural there.  I love how the portraits turned out.  The colors and lines in the mural were such a fun backdrop.
