A cute new home, and a really sweet couple, makes for the perfect snow day! I loved getting to see Brittnee and David again this fall, to celebrate their new house and moving in just before the holidays. Enjoy this cozy at home photo session in Altoona!!
Meet sweet Eleanor (Nori)! At just under a week old, she may be one of the “freshest” babies I’ve gotten to capture! She was so cozy during this special at-home newborn photo session in Waterloo. I can’t wait to watch her grow!
I love these sweet in-home Facetime sessions! Not only does this give me a great creative outlet, but I get to catch up with old friends and meet their new pets. My pal Miranda and her husband Collin bought a house in Minneapolis in the recent past, but I’ve yet to see it. So it was fun to get a virtual tour of their precious home, and take some Facetime photos of the two of them, enjoying coffee and a sunny Saturday morning together.
After seeing a few local ‘togs share their FaceTime quarantine sessions, I decided to give it a shot! My best friend and her husband were my first test subjects and it was SO FUN. Leading up to the session, I felt more nerves than I have in months or years prior to a shoot. However, as soon as we got on the call, I was in the zone. This FaceTime photo shoot brought me more joy and focus than anything else has this past month! It felt good to be posing and editing images. Plus, I got to hang out with my friends and see their super cute house. :)
I joyfully spent an hour on a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon with these two. They made my job SO EASY!!!! I sure hope that someday, Mary and Bobby look back on these photos and remember the simple and tenderness of this season— just them (and their doggo!) making a life together in their first apartment. I smile looking at each one of these, and I hope they bring you joy as well!
I love newborns and so naturally, I offer in-home newborn photography! This week, I had the joy to meet sweet baby Ledger. 4 days old and already the newest favorite in his family. This little guy is so cute— I can’t wait for you to see his newborn photos!
Intimate and romantic photos take the cake for “best kind of shoot”. Even better? Doing them spontaneously at home! Amelia and Kurtis live above the city skyline, with a perfect view of sunset. After taking photos for her small business (check out Amelia’s art!!!) Kurtis joined us on their patio for an unprompted “anniversary” session of sorts. 18 months almost of marriage, which is just as valid to celebrate! Click the blog link to see more.
You may remember my recent post of Naomi and James’ one year anniversary photos. It was a unique photo session, because we did them in their apartment! Such a fun afternoon of coffee & records & documenting the space they’ve turned into a home, in a little suburb of Omaha.
Have you ever wished you didn’t have to move out of your first apartment? Well, I can’t help you with that— but I can help you remember just a little bit of how it felt to live there! I offer in-home sessions (for those in homes, apartments, or just about anywhere!) for anyone looking to hold on a little longer to a space. Naomi and James have lived in this sweet one-bedroom apartment for a year, and it was a joy to photograph them living life together on random Wednesday afternoon.
