Kristin & Bryce

A Fossil Gorge Iowa City Summer Anniversary Shoot

Anniversary

One year ago, we celebrated their wedding on a beautiful, summery Friday afternoon. As they approached their first anniversary, Kristin reached out to me to see about doing an anniversary shoot and it worked out so perfectly in our schedules that we ended up being able to do it on their actual anniversary. I cannot […]

An Intimate Iowa City Spring Wedding During COVID-19

Weddings

May 9th was their original wedding date. Because of COVID-19, they were forced to reschedule so they sent out mailings for everyone to save their new date.

Since meeting them, we’ve discovered that we work out at the same gym and our youngests are the same age, providing some fun play dates. This family has a […]

Family & Kids

Just look at this sweet girl! She grew so much in a year! (I know, I know. As children do… Look at her itty bitty little self from the year before.) Charlotte was a little hesitant about me at first, but with enough of my antics, she started smiling and it was completely worth it! […]
