Kelli - West Des Moines Maternity Photography

These two are so down to earth and so real.  

They didn't want a "maternity" session per say, but rather wanted some nice photos of the two of them before they met their sweet little baby boy.  Throughout our session I could get a sense that they were both so excited to meet their new addition, and that their baby would be born into a home with two incredibly loving parents.  These images speak for themselves - they are so in love and so ready to be parents! :) 

Congratulations you two!

Mommy & Me - Spring Inspiration Shoot

Last week I teamed up with Poppy & Olives Vintage Rentals to put together this gorgeous Spring Styled shoot!  Little Miss Essie turned 3 last month and her mom and I came up with a fun inspiration concept for their session.  Being that baby #2 is due to arrive this summer, we turned this shoot into a Mommy & Me session.

What To Wear - Old Navy

I've had requests to put together style inspiration boards for family sessions, preferably "one stop shop" inspiration.  

Today's What To Wear post features items solely from Old Navy.  I decided to go with some neutral tones to start things off.  There are a few items here and there that I didn't particularly love, but due to limited selection on things like kids shoes or belts, I had to work with what Old Navy offered!

Moms Look: $110
(I have the top half of this look and love it!)
Dad's Look: $110
Girls Look: $65
Boys Look: $56
Toddler Girls Look: $29
Toddler Boys Look: $35



Like I said - I know these looks aren't perfect and could use a better shoe (etc.) here and there… but hopefully this gives you an idea of how you can plan and coordinate outfits for family sessions!
