Katelyn and Genaro's wedding was so beautiful and full of personal, Christ-centered touches. I first met Katelyn at college when we were both pretty new in our faith. We bonded through church, Spanish classes, planning for study abroad, and salsa dancing :) She is truly one of the sweetest girls I know. When I first met Genaro it was so apparent that their love was rooted in and modeled after Christ's love for the Church. Their wedding day was a gorgeous reflection of that.
We had so much fun celebrating Katelyn at her bachelorette party last Friday! She's getting married in less than a month and Bailey hosted this sweet picnic, among other things, to honor the bride-to-be. We love you, Katelyn!
I love having the opportunity to photograph my coworkers and students! With this family I got to do both. Stacie is a second grade teacher at the school I taught at the past two years and Claire (her youngest daughter) was my art student during that time. Here are a few of my favorites from their session in the East Village in downtown Des Moines - enjoy!
I had so much fun getting to know Brittany and taking her senior photos!
This girl is so full of personality and confidence to speak her mind. She's into speech and theater, loves to sing, and is a stage management rock star. Like me, Brittany is a self-described "mom" of the group and it was cool to hear her speak so highly about her best friends.
What I noticed most in her character was her sweetness and maturity and I love that I was able to capture both those things in these portraits. Enjoy!
These two cuties have been my faithful subjects since before they remember! Here are four of my favorites from Easter with my nephews a few weeks ago.
