BRENNAN FAMILY • IOWA CITY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER • LAKE MACBRIDE
Families dancing in the sun, doing their thing, maybe a little bit of chaos. I LOVE THAT. An outdoor family session out by the lake – sometimes Iowa can be really beautiful, but a sweet family and a sunset – perfection. The Brennan family and I met way back last year for their really super hot extended family session – like HOT as in we were melting, but they’re a pretty fire family too! I absolutely love when families come back year after year (I’ve only been doing this a few years, but stiiiilll.) A perfect first day of fall session – we met at Lake Macbride and the five-o errr quint family and I just hung out and played. I have one child, but I’d like to think that I know generally how kids will behave during sessions. I will tell you, 8/10 they’re not going to just sit and smile and do what you say. The stakes are high, folks. Come ready to play and cuddle and DO – we gotta figure out what sweet & unique ways your family smiles together. Come as you are and I will capture that.

Elliana & Co. • Iowa Newborn Photographer
WAUKEE IN-HOME NEWBORN SESSION • IOWA LIFESTYLE NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER
I would absolutely love to start each day with a lifestyle newborn session. I mean, who wouldn’t? ;) They’re sweet and a fresh and optimistic way to start a day. Two new (or new again!) parents learning how to take care of a brand new person with their own personality guided by love. Enjoy some photos of Elliana 💛
I also wanted to take some time with this blog and talk about why booking an in-home lifestyle session with your newborn might be right for you.
• First and foremost, a lifestyle newborn session is intended to be organic and minimally posed. That means no bean bags and or extra equipment. It’s simple and whatever your home has is perfect.
• Your home is your sanctuary. You’ve spent almost ten months nesting and creating a sweet place for your new bundle, so why not have that be a part of your session. Showing off your style & vibe and being somewhere you are naturally more comfortable can bring out those authentic moments you’ll want to remember forever. Not to mention, you don’t even have to leave and pack up a baby.
• No pressure, no rush. Just capturing what is real and true. If your baby refuses to be put down and wants to snuggle mom, we will get those images. They don’t need to be sleeping or posed perfectly in order for the shot to happen. It’s a safe place to nurse and portray your feeding journey, whatever it may be.
• While trends may change, the memories of your first few weeks home will always be timeless. These galleries will tell the story of what a day in the life was for your family and portray many different emotions.

NICKI + PAT • Iowa Engagement & Wedding Photographer
I have been waiting to post this session just so I can brag about how amazing their wedding is going to be. Which is TOMORROW!! :) And 150% can guarantee that these two, Nicki & Pat, are going to have THEEE wedding. Maybe I’m biased. Boho, lights, love, greenery, a victorian home (THEIR HOME!), and the cutest wedding attendants (Probably gonna get shown up by their cutie son, Otto, NBD) – can you say perfect?
Nicki & Pat are both personal friends of me and my family’s and to be able to help capture such special moments, with special attributes like their home & a bar they fell in love with – makes my heart explode. Seeing two strong people in love who are more powerful together as a couple is what this world needs. These photos were taken way back in FEB and to see how far I’ve come even with my own personal photography grown since then is also amazing. Enjoy a little mix of some family & engagement photos with my favorite family.
