A chilly but beautiful fall ceremony last weekend for Jady and Colton. Their family and friends rallied behind them to help create a magical day for the couple, which wasn't without a few laughs and a couple of fantastic fur coats!

Last weekend, after what felt like nothing but a month of rain, it held off for Jordan and Emina's wedding! Nothing but smiles and good vibes all day long from their friends and family, who continued to shower the two of them with love and well-wishes. It's very clear how cherished these two individuals are to their loved ones.

Emina has a smile that could light up all corners of the room, and Jordan is so laid-back and good-natured that the two just couldn't be more hand-in-hand.

From mimosas, homemade bread, and love notes with a little Bosnian flair as the party got ready, to an officiant who has married two other couples in attendance, bubbles and rave wands, to almost forgetting to cut the cake, it was truly a magical day.

I have a feeling our paths will cross again, but it was so nice to mingle that evening with friends who were there to celebrate the love of these two beautiful souls.

Beating the heat for Kira's first session at the Law Library downtown. This was the perfect setting to capture some classic images for this amazing senior!

Hard to believe that Kira will be wrapping up their time in the shop this year.

It felt more like fall last evening with Ainsley's sessions! We had an awesome time being silly and claiming the streets of Des Moines as our own.

Harry is a senior who definitely embraces the spotlight but also puts in the hours behind the scenes. From jazz choir to marching band and head carpenter to improviser extraordinaire, this kid truly is a well-rounded artist.

We had a great time getting a little goofy with his first session and are looking forward to a few more later this fall.

First senior of 2027, and what a great one to start with!

We had two great days of weather for Johnathan's senior photos. Capturing his love of audio and theater, and then ventured over to the CTE building to tinker with some robots.

Whether it's spending long hours in the dark mastering audio levels or getting ready for a robotics competition, this young man is quite the talented and accomplished senior.

"We always seem to catch you right before you go on vacation!"

It's true, we shot Avery and Jordan's one-year session just before I'm headed out for the first of my summer travels. And in trying to get everything squared away, I wanted to make sure I could get some previews out before I left!

Where was this delightful cool weather last year? But the only thing that has changed between the two of them is just more love, laughter, and smiles.

Cheers to a first year of marriage and to many more!!
