Family & Kids

I’m so excited for Ashley and Jon to welcome their first child into their home! I have been lucky enough to know them for several years now, since their engagement back in early 2021 and then their wedding that fall. We took pictures both times at Vander Veer Park in Davenport so it was a […]

Grace and Blake just keep sticking […]
