As parents we are the ones that encourage our children's imagination more than anyone else. From the books we read and the games we play, to the adventures we tell.   This Mommy and Me session is designed to explore that. Read you child a book, Play games with them or just pretend your on an adventure in the woods. Either way it'll be fun for everyone and you'll walk away with priceless images to keep forever. What better way to celebrate Mother's Day?!

A Look Back at 2011

A look back at the fabulous couples of 2011...

Since we are almost halfway into January I figured this would be the best time of any to take a look back at 2011 unions I captured! It was such a great year, with not only GREAT and gorgeous couples, but AWESOME families and wedding parties!! I'm sure these couples feel blessed and it's no wonder why! I can't tell you how much I love what I do. I hope that it is obvious through my photos; here's my favorite portrait & detail shot from each wedding this past! :) Enjoy and to all of my 2011 couples THANK YOU for giving me the privilege of shooting your wedding, I hope you cherish your photos!!!

Looking forward to a great 2012 session! Thank you for reading and taking a peak! I hope you enjoyed this look back at a year full of gorgeous weddings! 

Pumped About 2012!!!

I can't even tell you how excited I am for 2012!

Today I got an email that I received a review threw the Knot... dispite my address not being up to date since I'm rocking a studio in Clive now I couldn't be happer! What did the review say.... Read below or Check it out here...

"Leslie Cowger does an great job in getting unique shots that are very creative and fun! As an artist that was something that I really desired in my wedding pictures and she did an excellent job! The quality is great, the price is definitely affordable- she gives a few options to choose from. She is great to work with and very easygoing! So happy with the results..."

Thank you Brittany for this review. I loved shooting your wedding and it makes me so happy to know that you are happy with everything! :)

Beauty, Boots, and a little thing called LOVE {LoveBirds}

Whitney and Andrew are a great couple. They are so cute together. It's great to meet and be able to photograph people that are truly beautiful from the inside out. I loved the details that made this wedding so personalized to them! From the groomsmans' cowboy hats to the ribbon ties to the vests that Andrew's mom made. The matching buckles, jeans and finally the cowboy boots I feel like were perfect and looked great for this outdoor wedding. The bridesmaids wore brown cotton dresses and cowboy boots and their flowers were beautiful.  I hope you enjoy this little preview!
