We’ve really gotten to know the Beach Family over the last year. After photographing Shyann and the family. They are a TON of fun.
Every time I see Sue she shrinks! I hope I look as good as she does when Wyatt and Zelle are leaving for college.
Sue works for the American Red Croos and they are needing volunteers to donate blood. There’s an event at Gallagher Bluedorn TODAY 8-3 pm I hear they are even giving you pie. Since it’s as easy as pie to donate.
We’ve worked with Rayne and Chuck Nielsen a lot this year.
Here is her adorable Grayson playing with a leaf when it was much warmer outside.
Her little brother Carson is such a little dollie! She LOVES him so much.
By the way, Rayne is a stylist at Sharper Image Salon in Waterloo (Kinda by the Alabar Plaza) She is AMAZING at what she does. If you need an updated look I highly reccommend her, she’s given me the best haircuts I’ve ever had and is a genius with color. Can’t wait to see her later this month!

We are looking to create a new line of baby announcements in our digital photo candy business. This is where we offer our templates for cards and albums. Go here to see the site.

Our studio mainly photographs weddings and seniors. So we are looking for 3-5 babies (boys or girls, doesn’t really matter) We need to photograph them on a white background and with little to nothing on. Down to a diaper. They will need to be sleeping, so we want NEWBORNS WITHIN THE FIRST 2 WEEKS OF LIFE. Preferably right after their belly button has fallen off. A Parent or Parents will need to wear a white long sleeve shirt in case we need to use you in the background of the image. We are going to spend at least an hour with you and want to create a timeless look. We cannot add siblings to this offer, sorry.
What you will receive, a free session from us ($80 value) and your favorite image as an 8×10, (a $47 VALUE) if you would like additional images from the session, you can purchase them, but there is no obligation at all.
We need you to sign a model release for use on our websites. If you would like to be part of this, please give me a call at the studio. 319.266.3618
Zelle, our three year old started saying to me, “Mommy I’m not a baby anymore, I’m a big girl.” I can’t believe three almost four years is gone already! She’s my last one, so I savor every moment with her in a different way then I did with Wyatt. When the crib left our house, I cried. But I felt a little better that it went to my sister’s house for my niece Emily, so at least I can visit it 
Now that she is gaining her independence, I am so proud, but also sad that we are leaving the time in her life where she is all kisses and hugs and runs to greet you at the door with open arms.
We have SO many pics of the kids growing up, which is awesome, but I wasn’t quite sure what to do with them, until I created a baby book. See some of the page spreads from Zelle’s through out this post. Now I am obsessed with it, and making one for Wyatt and then a yearly one start in 2002 the year Wyatt was born. It is sad to just have a little shoebox full of images, when picture books are available. This little library will grow as they do and will soften the blow (a little) when they start to drive, graduate from High School, and get married.
Fast Forward to 2022, you will see me on the sofa with a coffee with creme brullee creamer, my books spread around me and a box of kleenex. :O
I love this idea SO much that it is the new direction our baby plan is going in. The new and much improved baby plan will include 4 sessions and a finished fine art table top book.
Stop by the studio if you want to see Zelle’s whole book in person.
