Danielle, Jake, and I all went to UNI together just a year apart and actually majored in the same thing: Graphic Design. It was so fun to reconnect and swap stories about shared experiences and professors. We started our time at the Botanical Gardens.

Cooper Senior Session | Prairie City Senior Photographer

We ended up rescheduling Cooper’s session twice due to rain, but third times the charm really was true for us! We got the perfect fall day for Cooper’s senior photos. We started the session at his childhood home in Prairie City. His backyard had so much variety that I enjoyed exploring and using during his session.

Here it is folks, part two of Zach and Tia’s engagement session. For a different feel we went downtown and snapped some portraits in front of the beautiful ivy wall that I’m now obsessed with. I love how changing outfits and locations can create a totally different look in engagement photos.
