Sometimes I feel cool. . .

Long story short this just makes me so happy! Ashley has been coming to Cooper since her senior photos and I have been lucky enough to photograph both her wedding and now her maternity photos (yes I know I'm getting all mushy about this). It's just too cool and of course I can't wait for the baby to get here!
So here is a little bit of that photo journey for you. . . .
--Matt & Ashley--Thanks so much for making Cooper your home for photography! =-)

Kate's Photoshop Lessons

I think it's funny that Kate is already learning Photoshop. Too bad she tries to poke her own eye out with the Wacom tablet pen. Oh well, I suppose that coordination will come with time!

Birthday Club Portraits

For those of you who don't know, we have a Birthday Club that is no cost to join. You must be a current client or have had one regular session to join and then every birthday is free after that! Just call us with your child's birth date! 319-266-2166 =-) Here is a recent birthday session downtown. . .

Special post for special people!

Well I got to photograph Judy and Lil' Lonnie (one of our Cooper chicks) last Friday in the flowers. It turned out to be a wonderful day for the lighting and the flowers both! I had a hard time choosing what to share so I made a collage of my favorites. Enjoy!

My Little Katie Boo . . .

Don't ask me why I call her that. She's soo cute of course (her mommy thinks so anyways). I thought I'd post some photos from her sessions up to now.

Everyone comes in to the studio and says, "I bet you have no shortage of photos for her". Well it's pretty much true but I'm not saying I like going through the photo session thing any more than any other mom! It's a lot of work no matter who you are! But it all pays off when they grow up an you still have something to remember their little faces and smiles. =-)

To answer your next question. . .Nikole takes the photos of me. . NO I do not attempt to photograph myself.

Family Fun

So I am really going to try to keep up with blogging I swear! This is the part where you bust out laughing because you know that I will never be able to do that! He he. Enjoy it while it lasts!

These two families were so much fun. Hardly ever do I get to do the families where the kids are "grown up". They both had fun and it shows.

Spring Blossoms

The Crab apple trees have been beautiful the last week or so. Here are a few sessions that took advantage of them. . .=-)
