Hello

The Nebel Family

A Kalona Lifestyle Newborn Shoot

Family & Kids

I am continuously blessed to be part of so many big life moments. I photographed Bethany and Zach’s engagement and wedding (back in 2014 and 2015!) and then walked over to their house (we lived close to each other at the time) in 2022 for Aiden’s newborn photos.

Kelsey had contacted me back in March to set up photos. Since she was due in July, we set a tentative date for the pictures and I told her to let me know when she actually gave birth so we could bump it up or back if needed. This past Thursday, I joined her and […]
