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.

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.

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.

Wyatt {Newborn}

 In April, little Wyatt Glenn made his debut into the world.  I was so privileged to be able to capture these images of him when he was only 6 days old.  He is so tiny and so sweet.  Newborns are so precious.  It is mind blowing how quickly babies grown.  In their first year they make a huge transformation and celebrate so many firsts.  It is such a special thing to capture them during their first few days of life.  These are truly treasured moments in their lives and the lives of their family.

Our New & Improved Website!

As of late, I have been hard at work redesigning and updating the Geno Photography website.  Unfortunately, my blogging has not been getting done quite as often as I should, but I am so excited about how the new website is turning out.  After many, many hours of work designing it, I am getting so close to being able to launch it.  If you're a regular follower of our blog, you may notice a few changes here.  They are just a sneak peek of what is to come.  Check back soon to see all of the amazing updates!

The Miller Family

The Miller family recently came into the studio for their family portrait session.  They are such a beautiful family.  Their girls did so well during the session, little supermodels in the making!

Alivia {Rock the Dress}

Last week, I had the opportunity to capture Alivia rocking her prom dress.  We started our session at the Levitt Center in Iowa City.  I love the lighting in the Levitt Center.  It is simply filled with gorgeous natural light which was perfect to capture portraits of this stunning girl.

Mary Beth {Maternity}

I love maternity sessions.  There is nothing more beautiful than the glow of a mommy to be.  Whether it's her first or fifth child, there is still a radiance about her. 

Recently, in the midst of this weather's flip flop between spring and winter, we had the perfect snow for portraits and Mary Beth seized the moment to capture her maternity portraits.  The ground was completely clear from snow the evening before, but by the time noon rolled around the next day a beautiful clean powder of snow had covered the ground.  The air was filled with gorgeous fluffy flakes of snow.  It was truly the perfect setting for this winter loving mommy to be!

Vintage Furniture

 

I've been having a lot of fun shopping for some new chairs for the studio.  I love the new vintage chair and couch we just added to the studio.  The couch is made from gorgeous green crushed velvet.  Super fun and funky!  The chair is upholstered with blue velvet and has intricately carved wooden arms and legs that have been painted a pale green-blue hue.  So gorgeous!

The IMU Bridal Event

I would like to take a moment to thank all the brides and grooms who came out to the IMU Bridal Event hosted by Weddings In Iowa this past Sunday.  I talked to so many beautiful brides who sounded so excited as they worked on planning their big day.  I know I've said it before many times, but it is SO true: I love my job!
