Milestones | Eighteen Months

Randomly, I received a call from a good friend, Kyle. He asked if I could take some portraits of his son. On our phone call he also mentioned that he didn’t want to go to J.C. Penney or Sears to get them done.

I was instantly interested in the opportunity.

Thank you Kyle and Jess.

Peejays

You don’t always have to buy a new sweater vest for photos, and make it a glamour shoot. Why not try pics in your pajamas with bed-head?

I’ll enjoy these photos years from now, because it will give me the feeling of just another morning with dad. How time flies…

Mal & Nick | Winter Engagement

Mal & Nick made my job easy. They were a blast to work with.

Working with them helped me realize that human interaction should be the #1 focus in my photography. Thanks Nick and Mal, I can’t wait until we do another session before your wedding.

Amanda McLeod - So, I was browsing through the SWPB pool on flickr and your picture caught my eye. I clicked on your blog link and found that you are out of Cedar Rapids. I love running across other Eastern Iowa photographers! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I really like your work. :) AmandaJanuary 20, 2010 - 5:06 am

Consultations

What originally was scheduled to be a consultation to discuss a wedding, turned into a mini-engagement session.

Thank you Laura and Adam for being up for some quick portraits. I’m really, really looking forward to your wedding in June!
