Des Moines Portrait Photographer: Isabelle Tu Tu Sneak Peak

Isabelle is sweet. And she's turning one in less than a month! Her aunt Robin, who I was the wedding photographer a couple of years back made her this very colorful tutu to match her colorful personality. It was a lot of fun seeing Isabelle again and seeing how much she's grown since I last saw her and her brother Tristan for their Christmas photo session.

Des Moines Family Photographer: Luke, 9 Months Sneak Peekk

Luke is mobile and he is fast. Watch out! I saw this happy little guy for his 9 month photos and boy was he excited to see me as I was just as excited to see him. And when I say he is fast, I mean he did not want to stay in one place. I guess, once you realize you do not need mom or dad to take you from one place to another, you want to show everyone what you can do. It was a fun afternoon and I can not wait to see him for his one year!

Food: A Different Kind of Pasta Sauce

A few weeks ago, Tosha and her mom brought home this jar of butternut squash pasta sauce. Interesting. We had a couple of butternut squashes parked on our kitchen counter from our garden since the end of last summer and decided to cut them into cube chunks. Tosha had sprinkled them w/a little salt, pepper and doused them gently w/olive oil. Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to grab a photo but next time... next time I will know better!
Well anyway, she had placed the cubes on a pan and into the oven to get that "roast" texture. Afterwards, the cubes were mixed w/the butternut squash sauce, which was already cookin' in a pan of cut up chicken and baby spinach. Once finished, we used Buitoni's Mixed Cheese Tortellini for the pasta.
Holy yumness!!!!
It's a mix of savory sweetness. The sweet comes from the pasta sauce and the savory from the cheese filled torellini.

Des Moines Portrait Photographer: Kaedyn, 6 Months Sneak Peak

Today I saw Kaedyn for his 6 month photos. He gets more handsome each time I see him. You can't help but to smile every time he does. He has such a curious personality as he loves to be aware of who or what is going on in the room. I definitely had a lot of fun trying to capture his expressions.

Des Moines Portrait Photographer: Brinley Tu Tu Sneak Peak

A week ago I had the pleasure of meeting up with Little Miss Brinley again for her 15 month photo session. I've been taking photos of her since she was born on Halloween. And my has she grown into a pretty little lady. It was exciting to take her photos and we both had so much fun. She has a personality that just melts your heart.
