Jenni has Two Buns in the Oven!

     I know I've said it, but I love being able to photograph my family including obviously my children, but also my sister and her family. My sister unfortunately has fertility issues. Her daughter, Paige is now 3 and was their first little miracle using IVF. In December they had the last IVF treatment they were going to do before trying a different method. I was praying for multiples and I remember when Jenni called me to tell me the news... Identical Twins.  I was so happy for her and I have to admit a little bit of a "I KNEW IT" moment. She is due to have her identical girls in September! I have to admit while taking my beautiful Sister's pictures I got emotional and a little misty eyed! There are people that you wonder why would God give this couple the misfortune of fertility issues, when some people get pregnant so easily get pregnant! Maybe it us more grateful for the little ones in our life, whatever the reason behind why some people's ease and troubles getting pregnant I was overjoyed that my sister was not only pleased with a second pregnancy, but also that she was having twins. I am already a proud auntie and my heart is surely going to do a lot of growing come September! SO EXCITED!

Molly & Kolton are gonna get hitched!!

Molly and Kolton are a great couple!! So easy going and genuine. I felt horrible that our first take for taking engagement pictures ended only after about 10 minutes with a not so great memory, both ours cars were broken into and had things stolen, including my camera bag :(  Thank goodness part 2 was less eventful, I was worried it would start down pouring a few minutes after we started. I'm happy to report I held off until I was driving home and that we actually got to see the sun peak out a little towards the end.

You know how this goes...Here's the sneaky Peak!! ENJOY



Baby E {14 days}

Welcome to life little baby E. He stayed in as long as he could, little stinker, but finally he has arrived! He is so incredibly precious words can't even describe it! He did such a good job getting his picture taken, which is a VERY good thing because I know he will have many pictures taken of him! He even flirted a little with me at the end and I got a cute little smile! 

I've been taking pictures of his mommy and daddy now for about 4 years now. I was so excited to hear they were expecting this little bundle of joy, I knew they would be WONDERFUL parents. I think he defiantly looks like daddy, but I'm sure he'll be a mommy's boy,... sorry Kenny that's just how it gonna be!!

Here's a little preview of Baby E

I LOVE his frown, if this face can't get him whatever he wants I don't know what will!!

06.11.11 M&B Married at Last!

Yesterday was beyond beautiful! I have to admit I was worried about rain, but I don't think a single drop came down, and there wasn't a hint of humidity (from what I could tell, but I'm not a meteorologist!) As I was on my way to Alta, IA (by Storm Lake) I was reminded of a few years ago when I was in Seattle on the beach. I was awe struck by the beauty the sun was shining threw the cloud and it made me wonder how many people go threw life and miss seeing rolling beautiful landscapes that so many take for granted

Mike and Brittany are one of the couples when you meet them you have the immediate impression that they are soul mates! They are so fun together. I have only gone threw the pictures leading up to the ceremony. The ceremony was one of the most touching ceremonies I've ever seen. They are both truley beautiful inside and out. They have a great foundation with an incredible support system behind them! I hope that they enjoy this little preview! :)

A little sass never hurt anyone!! These two crack me up!!...
