We just received the album from Doug and Molly’s wedding in Ames, Iowa. Doug and Molly’s wedding was very special to us because of the memories involved with it. They had attended ISU together and we created some amazing portraits of them around campus. Our favorite from their wedding day was in front of the […]
Yearly Archives: 2008
I have heard of this site before, but I came across it again today and thought up a new tip for its use. Its called “Smarty Pig” and the idea is that it works like a savings account, but the cool thing is that you set a goal – let’s say for wedding photography from […]
Tip: Saving for Photography (or anything else)
I came across the [news] Photos of the Year, 2008 from the Des Moines Register. There are 91 photos, so it takes a while to go through them all, but is totally worth it. I don’t believe they are in any particular order. My favorites are 38, 42, 44, 45, 74, 76, and 80. What […]
Des Moines Register Photos of the Year 2008
It seems to be a trend with us that the weather doesn’t cooperate with us for Story of Our Love engagement sessions (to the point of nearly calling it off). However, it also follows that the couples we work with have been very open-minded and we end up capturing some really amazing photographs for them. […]
Story of Our Love: Scott and Jessie
I thought I’d write about a couple projects I’ve been working on lately – since I haven’t had a whole lot of new stuff coming up onto the blog lately. First, we had several events that we photographed in the past month – the Valley Church Thanksgiving baby dedication was on November 9th. We enjoy […]
What's Keeping Kevin Occupied
Can you believe it’s already been a year? Thank you so much for choosing us to be your wedding photographers. Thanks for sharing those special places that you enjoyed growing up, Stephanie, so we could capture them on your wedding day. We hope you have a wonderful time celebrating your anniversary.
Happy 1 Year Anniversary, Matt and Stephanie!
I love this one of Sarah and Charlotte. It just shows the love they have for each other. This is one of our favorites of the family. It’s so cute how it looks like Charlotte’s saying “I’m here!”. She has so many cute expressions. I also love the color of the leaves in the background. […]
Charlotte's Grins and Giggles Session Post 2
We met Andy and Sarah earlier this year through photographing baby dedications at our church. We instantly fell in love with their daughter, Charlotte. She’s a very sweet, easy going baby. Charotte joined our baby club, the Grins and Giggles Club. This allows her to come in for 6 sessions in the next 2 years […]
Charlotte's Grins and Giggles Club Session

I’ll be posting some of my favorite images from this year’s Valley Church Great Pumpkin Party soon. Until then, I wanted to show you that some of the images I created this year made it to the Des Moines Register! I’m not sure whether they made it to print or not – I will be […]
I’ve been Published!
We photographed Ashlyn’s Senior portraits a couple of months ago. We had posted a slideshow of some of our favorites but wanted to share some more. This portrait shows some of things Ashlyn loves best. She likes collecting Converse shoes and enjoys making word collages in her free time. Her word collage was so cool […]
