Passionate wedding photographers based out of Des Moines, Iowa. Come on in!
An email hit my inbox earlier this year about photographing some senior portraits for Corrie. We held out for the warmer weather and I think these turned out absolutely wonderful! Not all Senior Sessions end like this but we all decided to head down to the Hessen Haus for some appetizers and a drink! (There was no underage drinking, promise!) I have been so blessed to have such a great series of seniors come through requesting my photography. Everyone has been amazing!
I’ve lived in Des Moines most of my life and had never even heard of this place until this weekend. The pizza there has made my ‘try before you die’ list as it is absolutely amazing. The outside may seem a little ‘sketchy’ with its not-so-kept-up signage and exterior but trust me, the food rocks. The staff seems extremely nice and was very speedy with the food despite having a massive party of around 15+ people. Good eats!

Make it a goal each day to bring the camera to places you normally would not. Â You”ll find opportunities where you thought, “I wish I had a camera…” no longer apply.
Have a great rest of the weekend.
I don’t live too far from the house I grew up in during my elementary school years. Often I drive by to see if it’s for sale. Â Maybe I’m a little curious but I think mostly I just enjoy reminiscing. Every time I approach the house I slow down to a crawl and I begin to remember simpler times. Â It’s almost as if I can hear the laughter from the neighborhood kids I played with. I can still feel those wonderful summer nights and hear the sounds of locusts and crickets ushering me off to my dreams. The world seemed so large in front of me and full of endless adventure. It’s such a bizarre mixture of emotions that sweep over me when I pass by that big blue house. When I hit the gas and continue on I snap back to reality and realize this: I’m creating moments like this for my children right now. With all the responsibilities and busyness that comes along with being an adult it’s nice to remember what it was like to be child. There is simply nothing else in this world that helps quiet my soul and remind me of the wonderful innocence of being ‘little’ than having a sleeping child in my arms. I love you Lydia.
