Happy Spring to Me :)

After a three year love affair with my Canon Rebel, I am upgrading! I love my Rebel and have done a lot of work with it, but it seems to be the right time to upgrade. My Rebel has some clitches but I'm not ready to part ways with it yet, as it was my first "professional camera" if you will. I contacted Canon and they said they can fix the error that keeps poping up so I figure for the small amount that it will cost for the repair, I will keep it for back up, it never hurts! So here they are, (1,2) are the Rebel and (3,4,5) the Canon 7D! :) I have fallin' in Love :)

My new baby- 7D-







All I keep thinking about is the quote from Christmas Vacation, "She's a beaut Clark" I can't wait to start shooting with it!!

Family Affair

This past Saturday I got a peek into an amazing family. They have a yearly celebration with the whole family, I'm talking aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, you name it they were there, and some even have to travel to get to Iowa for this. After you hear that you just think "wow, what a cool family," and they are. They do this get together once a year and they go to different houses that had different themes, and eat different foods at each place, and just make a night of it! I only stayed for the beginning of the night to get some family portraits and some candid shots. The house I was at was a Japanese theme, pretty cool since I took Japanese in high school. It was an all round wonderful session, but the best part of the night was knowing that they were celebrating being with each other. I got an email asking me if I could do this, being that it may be the last time they are all together as a family, she went on to explain their aunt has cancer, I knew right then, "of course" I wanted to do this. Not just because it was another family session but because the reason for me wanting to have my own studio is to be able to give back to my customers, and my community. I have taken part of my profit and donated it to her cause. Together, we can find a cure for all the cancers out there. When you book your session, if there is a cause you feel strongly about helping please let me know, I am more than happy to make a donation with my profit. Take a look at some of the shots of this family enjoying the day together!

Candid

This past weekend I had the opportunity of being a part of a friends wedding. I was a bridesmaid, as well as taking photos when her photographers showed up two hours later than they said they would. It all worked out great, I was ready for the day, and the Bride was being pampered so I took some candid shots of her getting her hair and make up done, as well as when she got her gift from her soon to be husband! It was a wonderful morning indeed, there wasn't a cloud in the sky and it was a warm Spring day! It was a great day for a wedding!

1st Maternity Session

I did my first maternity session on Saturday, I was very nervous even though I did a lot of research on tips, and looking through other photographers images, and reading blogs and articles from other photographers. Once I got there and took the first shot I was relaxed and ready for the rest of the session, I tried a lot of different angles and poses. I had a lot of fun talking with the soon to be mommy. She looks great, and I'm very excited for them to welcome their first little one to their family, Cole will be here by the end of their month, so send blessings their way!

First Amazing Week of Spring!

What an amazing week we have had here in Iowa, the weather has been so NICE! It's a great start to the Spring which brings fresh beginnings! I watch a little girl twice a week so her mom can teach a workout class for some of the teachers at the Elementary school just a few blocks away. She is almost two and is just a doll, with a great personality starting to get her own little attitude :). We played outside all afternoon with the dog Buddie. With it being such a beautiful day out I couldn't help but get some shots of her and Buddie playing together.
