This was a new years eve wedding. What a great way to ring in the new year! The ceremony was here in Ames, IA at the Memorial Lutheran Church and the reception followed at the Scheman Building. I am amazed that the grass was green and it was nice enough to be outdoors. Congratulations Taylor & Robin -your wedding was beautiful!
I hope you enjoy this winter wedding! The weekend of Dec. 10th had the only bit of snowfall so far this year. Not only was there a blanket of snow, but it was also very nice out!
Finally getting caught up on all these blog posts after having the baby! Wow, what a whirlwind it has been. We found this pretty yellow flower field while we were out at the apple orchard. I love unexpected surprises. It was cloudy with the sun sporadically peeking through.
I met Sarah and her dear children at a park to take these photos. Sadly, her husband Brian couldn’t make it due to the harvest season (farmers have such a small window of time when the weather is just right). These cuties are always so much fun to photograph!
I had six weeks left in my pregnancy and this was the last wedding before my due date. I am so glad we didn’t turn this wedding down. I loved the warm colors from this September day. The venue for the reception was at the Saints Center in Stewart, IA. I can’t even tell you how beautiful it was in person.
It was a lot of fun photographing these two! I can already tell that we are going to have a blast on their wedding day. Gavin works in the athletic department at Iowa State so we had the privilege to photograph in the stadium. They wanted some photos taken there as it was the same location that they got engaged!
Our sweet daughter entered the world two weeks ago on November 8th. I don’t know where the time goes but we’ve just been enjoying our days snuggling, sleeping and getting to know each other. She weighed 6 lbs 11oz and was 20 inches long. I cannot describe how much love I have for her and I feel like I can’t take it in fast enough. I am sooo incredibly thankful to God for bringing this precious blessing into our lives and for the many dear ones who prayed and prayed for her. This Thanksgiving we have so much to be thankful for!!! I hope to write her birth story sometime soon and add pictures from the hospital.
I love this family! They are so sweet and are a wonderful example to me in how they serve the Lord. We were so happy when the rain stopped so that we could take these photos. The fall colors were perfect . We stayed close to their house and on their charming street. I love the way that Jenica coordinated outfits. She really has an eye for detail!
