There was a pop-up storm that morning. The forecast was not predictable in the morning, but we met up anyway and waited it out! I'm so glad we did! The most beautiful clouds were in the sky and the grass was so vibrant in color! Rain doesn't have to mean a reschedule... we can wait it out and be okay with wet feet! Loved this session so much!

Fun in the summer sun! I had the pleasure of working with this beautiful family! Such a fun energy and willing to try anything for the shot! Loved their enthusiasm!
Des Moines Iowa Photographer The sun was still pretty high in the sky but I try not to let that stop me from capturing a fun moment. I made sure that her back was to the light and moved around her until I saw no shadows on her face. I used spot metering to find a starting point for exposure.

I've started Photo projects in the past. Like many New Years Resolutions, they tend to fall by the wayside when Real Life kicks in. I've started a 52 week themed project with fellow photographers and have decided to give a 365 day challenge a go as well. I'm posting in this blog so that I can hold myself somewhat accountable. I may not post everyday, but I'm determined to pull out my camera at least once a day to document my own life. Let's see how this goes! Do you have a 365 photo project you'd like to start? Give it a shot! Worst thing that happens is you get two weeks of great moments and nothing else for the year. At least, that's how I see it. The only true failure is failing to try. Happy New Year!

It has been a very cold winter... but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be documenting the big moments in our lives. This beautiful family invited me into their home to photograph the newest family member. Just love how big brother is so proud. Loved this session so much!

Waukee Iowa Photographer It was a cold January Day, so went ventured Downtown Des Moines and found a great indoor location to capture this fabulous family!
Des Moines Iowa Photographer No Need to go anywhere fancy to get updated family photographs! The cold winter weather made outdoor pictures a no-go, so we stayed indoors and captured some wonderful moments together!
