Erica and her sweet babies – a beautiful sunny morning at the rose garden was perfect for their family session. I personally don’t think that moms are ever in the camera enough, so when the focus is completely on mom and her kids, it’s the best.

Clover’s Joy Session • Iowa Pet Photographer
My first passion in life has always been animals, and then science, and then later in life it became photography. To be able to *somewhat* put them together by photographing animals is truly a dream come true. I mean, it’s never under the best circumstances when it’s something that’s associated with goodbye’s and end-of-life times, but to be able to provide such a memory is something I’m very humbled to be a part of. I never look forward to these, but I enjoy the sweetness and pace of photographing an elderly animal. The tender moments where families can reflect on the funny memories of their pet and to be able to capture that love – it’s breathtakingly beautiful.
So everyone, meet Clover. Clover is a sweet fifteen-year-old black lab gal loved by two tiny humans and a mom & dad. Her momma shared with me some words about her while we were prepping for the session. I’ll go ahead and share it here. Enjoy <3
Clover used to be a crazy obnoxious lab but has certainly mellowed in her old age. I can’t begin to tell you all the things she has chewed up in her lifetime (countless shoes, wedding photos, library books, our tax refund check). Now she really just lays around and will follow us from room to room to make sure she is where we are. My husband has a special bond with her because he is the one who picked her out at the shelter as a puppy and trained her, so we like to say Clover really has only listened to him.

Terhune Family • Iowa Family Photographer
Giggling little girls, weeping willows, and two parents in love – all the makins for a perfect night. in APRIL. I got a little bit behind on blogging (again. such is life), but I have made some 2019 half year goals and some new strategies to share MORE photos and some oldies. This session feels like years ago. It was one of those first new nights of spring where it was just starting to get a little bit more warmer outside. You know, the perfect weather that we don’t get near enough of here in Iowa. Now it’s almost unbearably hot and I’m waiting for this weather again! I so so enjoy working with this family. I first photographed them when Brooke, their youngest, was just a little one barely sitting up. My favorite thing about photographing Leah & Brooke is how different they are from each other. Leah comes forth with confidence and joyous energy and is the life of the party, while younger sister is a little bit harder to open up – but when she does – just the most contagious little laugh. Enjoy some of my favorites from their session!
