Kenny & Erin {Engaged}

Last weekend, I headed up to Clear Lake to capture Kenny and Erin's engagement portraits.  I haven't been to Clear Lake for a couple years, so I was excited to head back up that way.  I love the opportunity to photograph somewhere new.  We began our session at the Central Gardens of North Iowa.  It is a beautiful location and the evening light created a wonderful glow.  It was a perfect location for their portraits.

The Winekauf Family

This past week I headed up to Lake McBride to photograph the Winekauf family.  They are a gorgeous family and were a pleasure to work with.  Their son was home on a brief pass from his duties in the Air Force and we were able to seize the opportunity to capture some beautiful images of them all together.

Carter & Adria {Fun at the Beach}

Last weekend, I met up with the ever-adorable duo that is Carter and his baby sister, Adria.  I swear these two grow by leaps and bounds each time I see them!  It's always so much fun to see how they've grown and changed.

We met for their portrait session at Lake McBride beach.  It was truly a gorgeous backdrop for this little pair, their outfits went so beautifully with the setting.  I think my favorite pictures are the ones on the boat dock.  The colors are so vibrant and the kiddos had great faces.  Love them!

Joel & Laura {Engaged}

At the end of April, I headed out to Lack McBride to meet with Joel and Laura for their engagement session.  Despite some chilly wind over the lake, we had a great time.  The over cast skies made for gorgeous, soft light.  They brought out one of Joel's small boats for their pictures.  He is from the Pacific Northwest and boating is a big part of his life.  It was so nice to be able to incorporate that into their engagement session.
