Melissa + Lisa {Maternity}

At the end of July, I headed to the beautiful rose gardens behind the Des Moines Art Center for Melissa and Lisa's maternity session.  Years ago, I had the honor of capturing their beautiful wedding at the Shakespeare Theater in Iowa City's City Park.  So I was thrilled when they contacted me about photographing their maternity portraits.

A peek at my recent maternity session with Melissa and Lisa.  So beautiful!

Julie {Maternity}

 A little over a year ago, I photographed the wedding of Brian and Julie.  I was super excited when I received an email from them telling me they were expecting their first little one and wanted to come in for a maternity session.  I love maternity sessions.  Theirs was no exception.  We had a lot of fun with the flag and dog tags they brought with in honor of Brian's military service.  I think my favorite shot is the one featured above though.  Love!

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.
