Evan Baines & Sam Hassas :: Our Family Portraits

Last week was fantastic. We had two of our personal favorite photographers and good friends come out and do some family photographs of us and give a presentation to our local Des Moines photography meet up group. It was an absolute blast. The day went by so quickly. I can’t express how grateful I am that another good friend and wonderful photographer, Kevin from Sharp Capture Studios, shot all these action shots below of Sam and Evan doing their thing.  These images are fantastic. My favorite is the composition of Sam’s trademark NY Yankees hat with our whole family in the background. Great job Kevin. And thank you to Joey Early and Laura Beekmann from Life Art Photographs for hanging out and holding our kids when they needed to be held. Can’t say enough how much you guys rock!

Thanks to all those that came out to hear Sam (Hassas Photography) and Evan (Evan Baines Photography) talk. I can’t emphasize enough how thankful we are that you all came out to support this event. We’ll have more in the future!

Edit: I also wanted to thank Sarah’s brother Jacob for helping us out as well. He’s leaving for boot camp with the Marines on Monday. He’s a wonderful friend and brother-in-law and I can’t say thanks enough for all the times he’s watched our kids and been the impromptu babysitter so many times.  Have a safe trip sir!

Adam & Kimberley :: Married :: Des Moines, Iowa Wedding Photographers

Sheesh. Could I have posted any more photographs for a wedding set? Actually, I could have. But I ended up cutting these a little short due to the volume of images again. I keep telling myself I’m going to cut back on what we show on here but I can’t do it. Too many wonderful moments not to share. Adam & Kimberley had an absolutely gorgeous day. Blue skies, beautiful church, and wonderful friends and family. We drove up to Ida Grove for this wedding and enjoyed every second. Rarely do we have to travel 3 hours in Iowa to do a wedding. This was an absolute treat to have a lovely change in scenery.  Congratulations to both of you! Thanks for being so patient with these images. Just wanted to make sure they were perfect. Enjoy!

edit: My sincere apologies to Kimberley. I’ve misspelled her name twice in a row now! I can no longer talk of my victories in spelling bees back in middle school. ::hangs head in shame::

Liz & Sean :: Des Moines, Iowa Wedding Photographers

Ridiculous Saturday Wedding! A few quick shots from today/tonight. Absolutely love this couple.

Too much to take in

Adam & Kimberly were married just last weekend. We’ve gone through most of our post processing and are putting the finishing touches on it. It should be up come Monday evening.

Honestly, it has been incredibly busy lately. There are literally too few hours in the day. We’re not only keeping up with all the beautiful weddings but we are busy preparing for the bridal show coming up next month. The booth has been designed and it will be assembled this Sunday for a mockup. It includes custom hand printed wallpaper from Bradbury & Bradbury out of California and a few framed photographs. I want it to stand out but I don’t want it to be busy and obnoxious.  I hope we don’t disappoint. We’ll have no slideshow, no plasma TV, and no electronic gizmos. It’ll just be photographs and albums. All things people can touch and feel.  Please come out and say hi!

The Everything Bridal Show – Sunday September 12th. Doors open at 10:00am and the show ends at 3pm.  We would really enjoy some company.

A few shots from last weekend with more on the way!
