Baby Azara || Lifestyle Studio Session | Iowa City Family Photographer

If you’ve seen my posts the last few months, one of my best friends, and owner of Cult Beauty by Liv, was expecting. 🙂 (You can see her maternity session HERE.)
I’m SO excited to show of this beautiful baby girl!! Meet Azara Skye. I couldn’t think of a more perfect name for her – and just look at how adorable this family is. Seeing her and her big brother together absolutely makes my heart melt. I was so happy to have them in the studio for a relaxed little lifestyle session.

Haley D. || Iowa City Studio Session | High School Senior Photographer

My daughter and I have always had a blast taking photos together since the day I picked up a camera – even when we lived overseas and I had a point-and-shoot (the photos may not have been professional, but I will cherish them forever). She’s growing up way too fast and she amazes me every single day. From being a high school freshman in AP classes, going out for a sport every trimester, making show choir and singing solos on Hancher Auditorium’s stage, and getting really great grades, to being a super sweet person and surrounding herself with awesome kids. I thank my lucky stars she is just the way she is. I’m sad to think she’ll be a senior before I know it.

She wanted to steal a few of my new dresses, put on some pretty makeup (she is an awesome self-taught makeup artist) and play in the studio! I’m so glad we did; I’ll definitely be printing a few of these!

Bristol S. || Children’s Studio Session | Iowa City Family Photographer

My friends have the cutest, smiliest babies. (Yes, smiliest is a made up word – I even Googled it.) Baby Bristol came to model for a studio session and we had a blast! One of these days we will get the whole family together! She’s grown up so much since her last session with her mama. (See that HERE.)

She and her mama are headed back to the studio in a few weeks!
Best Friend Models || Ruffles and Fur | Iowa City Family Photographer

After this session, I wish I specialized in children’s photography – such a fun treat!!! Check out the last time I photographed just a child model HERE.
Mylah and Tenley are best friends and aspiring models who are full of spunk and sass! They remind me of my sweet daughter when she was that age (and how I wish I was a photographer back then). These ruffles and fur outfits and masks were adorable!!
