What to Wear {Engagement Portraits}

A question we are often asked is, "What should we wear for engagement portraits?"  We recommend timeless, classic looks that will last through the years.  Wearing clothes that are too trendy often means the photos will look outdated in a matter of months or years.  If you choose classic items, the photos will continue to look great and up-to-date for years to come.  For a classic look, choose a soft color palette with a couple of bright colors that are repeated in accessories throughout the portraits.  However, if you wish to use trendy, modern clothing, that is completely up to you. Either way, you can make a beautiful portrait!

Jason & Holly {Wedding}

Earlier this month, I headed to Cedar Falls to capture Holly and Jason's wedding.  Holly is from Iowa originally and decided to return home for her wedding.  She and Jason are both currently serving in the Air Force and are stationed on the East Coast.  I'm glad they had the wedding in Iowa, it was a beautiful event and I truly enjoyed capturing 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?
