Ryan Family | Family Photos

I met Abby at work. Her fun loving attitude made us friends pretty quickly. Her two kids are just a bit older than our daughter, so we always had lots to talk about when it came to family topics. Over the past 7 months or so she has helped us tremendously with things we needed for Emily. It sure pays off to have a friend whos daughter is a bit older, right?  :) haha

Well a couple weeks ago both of our families went out to the Cedar River area near downtown Cedar falls for a photo shoot of her family. Cash, her son, has some pretty serious locks, don't ya agree!? And Collins, man those electric blues are stunning. Those are not photoshopped ladies and gentlemen, those puppies are natural!

The shoot was a lot of fun. Abby and Richard - Your family is beautiful! Thanks for your friendship!

The Heise family are wonderful people. They are some of the most kind hearted people you will ever met.   Anneka and my wife,  Stephanie, met while in nursing school. After school both both girls worked at different hospitals in the same town and were able to continue the friendship. Anneka, while working, also continued on for her Masters Degree and is now officially a FNP-BC ( family Nurse Practitioner) Congrats Anneka! The weekend of Anneka's graduation her family had Steph and I take some new family photos since all the siblings were in town.

Cory + Jennifer | Engagement

We met Cory and Jennifer at a wedding we shot over New Years Eve last year. Cory came up and talked to us towards the end of the reception and said he and his fiance' wanted to have us shoot their wedding the following summer after seeing us work. After meeting them we were excited for it too. Living in Ames they drove to Cedar Falls for the shoot. From the get go things just clicked. Pun intended.. haha :)

These two are full of personality and were really enjoyable to photograph. You could see the love these two had for each other. I give Cory a lot of credit. He was probably the most excited guy we have ever shot. And Jennifer made it impossible to get a bad picture. We are really looking forward to shooting your guys wedding!
