We’re going from Iowa to Texas in my sessions, because that’s exactly what I did at the beginning of last November, with a few days in Oklahoma in between. I love that I get to travel so much for photo shoots every year. And I really love going to Texas for so many years now to do Nicole and Dane’s family photos. I photographed their wedding way back in 2008 in Napa Valley. A few years later, they moved to Texas, and I’ve been photographing them their every year since. Their kiddos are THE MOST FUN during photo shoots, as you can see from the images here. :) We also did some quick headshots of Nicole during this session. I love to grab whatever kind of photos people need during a shoot. No need to book multiple sessions if we can do it all at once.

Hey, we’ve made it to November in my session posts! That means I’m only two months behind now. If I keep up this pace, I’ll be caught up in no time. :)

This is one of my lifelong best friends, Amy, and her lovely family. Amy is a rare gem of a person. You could ask anyone who has ever met her and they would agree that she is truly good, kind, fun, cool, and all the other positive adjectives you can think of when it comes to awesome human beings. I am forever thankful for Amy and for how our friendship has shaped my life.

We did this session on a beautiful but freezing cold and windy fall day in Iowa. Phil and Amy and their kiddos were such troopers and smiled for me like they weren’t even cold. :) Phil knew the best places in Davenport to go for protection from the wind and a gorgeous background. Weren’t the leaves so stunning in color??
