Well Iowa, let it snow and snow, but I will find a way to keep on taking pictures!
As many of you know, our studio is out on a gravel road, thus with all the snow going on, makes it more difficult than normal to schedule portrait appointments, as road conditions can vary from day to day. When winter is over, I know we will all celebrate! It’s definitely been a long one.
Regardless of the snow, we will always find a way to persevere and continue on!
Here are some pictures I have taken over the past few weeks.
Here is Anna! Such a fun little girl, with a little voice that makes me giggle every time I hear her talk. She is such a little doll.




Here is Elena! She is such a sweet baby girl. I can’t get enough of taking her pictures! She has the brightest eyes that just seem to light up the room.



Here are some family pictures of Lindsey, Gage, and Laney! Such good picture takers!!

Well it is a new year! Happy 2010! We hope everyone had a great holiday season, filled with lots of love and joy and tons of fun!
It has been way too long since my last blog post. One of my new years resolutions (one of many!) is to be a better blogger! So we shall see! At least twice a month I hope.
We took lots of fun Christmas pictures in November and December, and I thought even though the Christmas season may be over, those pictures were so cute I think better late than never! So here are a few of my favorite holiday shots.
Hoping you will be hearing from me a lot more this year!
Happy New Year!

I had the opportunity to take family pictures for a friend of mine. We had a great day. The weather, well we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Little Layla just turned one, and she is a very busy little bee. It was definitely a challenge for her to stay in one spot! But, we got some awesome pictures! At one point everyone was even having a leaf fight and climbing trees. We were at Buxton Park in Indianola, a favorite spot of both mine and my husbands to take pictures. It’s a great park. They had fun climbing trees and even got into a leaf fight! How fun!!!

I have been promising to start a blog for EVER now, and today is the day I decided to actually DO IT! We have been very busy lately with weddings, senior pictures, and family pictures. Now is the perfect time for family pictures as everyone loves to send out a new one with their Christmas cards.
I am going to do as much blogging as I can get done so bear with me!

My name is Melissa and my husband is Darwin. We work together in one way or another on every photo shoot and every wedding. We have three beautiful children. Two daughters, who are five and one and a half, and our newest addition is our little boy, who was just born in January. We love our family life and most importantly we love serving God in everything we do. Capturing beauty in every day moments is something we truly enjoy. God’s love, grace, and beauty is all around, and we are so blessed to capture it the moment it takes place.
We are very honored you are thinking of us to be there for your next special event. No matter the event, we make a promise to put our best effort into every photography shoot and every wedding. We believe you will be more than pleased with your portraits. We are very flexible and easy to work with. Remember, this is about you. We want you and your family to have the most enjoyable experience you can.
