Family: Elly and Joe, Clark Tower

The day before I took photos of Elly and Joe, there had been a pretty bad storm that went through central Iowa. I was actually in a tornado warning area and work had shut down for about an hour. Clark Tower in Winterset is quite the drive up a hill. I suppose it's more than a hill but the drive up is beautiful. It's full of trees and would be amazing in the fall, which I think we may be coming back for their fall photos. Well, today was more than a challenge because both Elly and Joe were too excited to go to the zoo afterwards. One thing I made sure to do was engage them in conversation. It worked out really well because I got a lot of good candid moments and very little cheesy smiles!
