Michael and Jodi

Well, I don't know if I can make a long story short on this one. Darci (Des Moines Cooper/ Dlu and You Photography) and I photographed this wedding in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We met Michael years ago when he was playing in a band called the Benjy Davis Project at the Reverb here in Cedar Falls.

Over the years, they have become one of our favorite bands. It was a blast for us to go do what we love together. . . take pictures! Thanks Jodi & Michael for being such great subjects and having us down!

Alice

Alice was here for a session last week. I was so excited to photograph her with her horse Zoro. He had to eat a few extra helpings of grass as we went!

A few to catch up!

So many sessions to catch up on from last week. It's so good to be back at the studio but we really did get quite behind! Imagine that! ;)

Kilworth and Co.

So the funny story with this session is we had been planning to do pictures in this great field of flowers that I know of. "Plan A" was ruined due to flooding. So we came up with "Plan B"a different field that has beautiful purple flowers. Apparently they only show their pretty faces the morning! Are you kidding me?! Anyway the whole session still turned out awesome despite the fact that the flowers didn't want to play with us!

Back in Business!

Hi All! Today is great day! The doors of Cooper are open AND I got to have my "Cup of Joe" this morning from across the street! I didn't realize how much I depended on a little routine to keep my sanity.

In case you missed it, I have photos of the flooding and all of our helpers on Cooper's Facebook Fan page. Thanks again to everyone who helped. We are so lucky to be back so soon! Our prayers are with all of those waiting to get back up and running throughout Iowa.

The above photo is of pins that are available at Cup of Joe for the volunteers. I thought they were so cute! What a great idea.

Flood, flood, flood!

Hi All,
Just wanted to drop a line that we have set up a temporary operation of Cooper in my house!

Purple is SO cool!

I was soooo excited when the Hayes family brought in this purple set of wheels. I never get to photograph big family groups with fun stuff. So that being said, all of you out there looking for family photos. . .call me! We'll brainstorm a cool session for you!
