The Stanton Family { 2014} || tree branch photography :: des moines, ia photographer

I was so excited when Jamie contacted me again this year for family pictures. One of my favorite things is seeing clients year after year, and seeing their family grow! I had babysat for Jamie's family a few times as well, so that extra bond just makes pictures so much more fun. you can see last year's session here



 For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.




 bring out the silly, boys!


 beautiful ladies!

Micah + Amy {wedding day} || tree branch photography :: des moines, ia wedding photographer




Micah and Amy were married on a brisk November day. Amy first contacted me at the beginning of fall, and I was so excited to do their wedding and meet her favorite guy :) I met Amy at a birthday party years before, so it was super fun to capture their wedding! I loved getting to know the both of them more through planning their wedding pictures. 
Enjoy!




The stories their best man and maid of honor told about how Amy and Micah met and eventually dated were hilarious! So fun though, to see how God works to bring people together in the most unexpected days :)










Sweetest first look ever :) Micah is so sweet to Amy, and their personalities seem to compliment each other perfectly!






Amy's mom and grandma worked on a special surprise for Amy's wedding day. They created a special locket that had pieces of both of their wedding dresses in it for Amy to carry down the aisle with her. 











Thank goodness for kleenex :)









Amy's grandpa just celebrated his 80th birthday, and he was able to marry Amy and Micah :) He also married Amy's brother and Amy's parents, so it was so neat to be a part of that heritage!






The joy!
