Aiden

A Coralville Lifestyle Newborn Shoot

Family & Kids

I was so excited when Bethany and Zach reached out a few months ago about newborn photos! I met them back in 2014 (!!) when I photographed their engagement shoot and loved celebrating with them at their wedding in 2015. Shortly after, they purchased a home about half a mile from us so we are […]

Rebecca & Alex

This past week, I was back in the same location to photograph them before their daughter arrives, due on their first wedding anniversary. I have been so lucky to be able to document so many milestones in their […]
