I could have hung out with these two (and their cute pup - you’ll have to click the link in the bio to see how cute he is) all. day. a beautifully decorated victorian home, lots and lots of love, and all of the best things. 🖤 yeah, you heard me. link in bio for the rest of their session! • • • • • • #desmoineswedding #iowaphotographer #radlovestories #lookslikefilm #loveandwildhearts #documentyourdays #findinglight #howiclick #ourcandidlife #weddingpioneer #therebelliousstoryteller #thepursuitofportraits #thesincerestoryteller #dearphotographer #thehonestcapture #desmoinesphotographer #boldemotionalcolorful #chasinglight #liveauthentic #weddingphotographer #makemoments #dirtybootsandmessyhair #theheartcaptured #belovedstories #wediowa #iowaweddingphotographer #elopementcollective #greenweddingshoes #lightinspired #thegallerycollective

i know so many women who refuse to get maternity photos because of the way they feel about their new body. I totally get it though. TRUST ME - I gained 75lbs with my son and did NOT feel sexy or beautiful or glowing - I guess that’s what happens when your pregnancy cravings are pancakes and nachos, so... anyway. I felt fat and puffy and gross. I more or less forced myself to get into something a little cuter than sweats and had my husband take some photos of me loving on my belly & him. It wasn’t until recently (my son is over 2!) that I looked back at those photos and was mesmerized by how beautiful I was. 🖤 • • • • • • • #lifewellcaptured #iowaphotographer #pixel_kids #lookslikefilm #clickinmoms #documentyourdays #midwestphotographer #howiclick #ourcandidlife #vscogram #littlestoriesofmylife #desmoinesiowa #thesincerestoryteller #dearphotographer #thehonestcapture #desmoinesphotographer #boldemotionalcolorful #chasinglight #momtog #thebloomforum #makemoments #littleandbrave #shootandshare #thefamilycollective #childhoodunplugged #vscocam #magicofchildhood #thenarrativesociety #lightinspired #thegallerycollective
