Des Moines Family Photographer: Sarah, Phet, Elina & Kaedyn, Summer 2012

It has been almost a year since I've seen my niece and nephew Elina and Kaedyn for a photo session. These two have just gotten more adorable together. I typically do not see my brother and sister Sarah for a family session until autumn but we decided to try a summer session at the Des Moines Art Center and Rose Garden where they were married 7 years ago. It was a beautiful evening and I always walk away happy to see the four of them.

Des Moines Family Photographer: Heidi, Tyson & Brinley, Summer 2012

I had a family session with Heidi, Tyson and little miss Brinley right after her 3 year shoot. I've captured some great moments with them, both composed and candid. Sometimes, the little moments in between are the precious ones.

Des Moines Family Photographer: Mitchell, Kayla & Alessandra, Summer 2012

Two weeks ago I met Kayla and Mitchell's baby girl, Alessandra for the first time. I've never seen a newborn sleep so much. And I mean, she slept through out the entire family/newborn session. I think I caught her eyes wide open only once and just barely for a few of them. Here are a couple of photos from their session.
