Oh, Rita. Smile-y, bubbly, kind, so incredibly smart, hardworking, beautiful, willing to do jumps for photos...I might as well stop here and let the photos speak for themselves.

Portraits: Madysen
Madysen braved the cold for the first portrait shoot of 2014. Wintry golden light, a beautiful iron gate, and Madysen's pointe skills helped make this portrait shoot beautiful.
Victoria - Class of 2014
Victoria is a talented young woman, and her senior session was fun to shoot!
Love that golden lighting.
Portraits: Madeleine

Madeleine is pretty fantastic. As in smart, driven, and really into theatre. We braved the cold and snapped these portraits just before the sun went down.
Gorgeous.
Portraits: Devon

Devon and I explored a little backwoods of Grinnell as the sun was going down, and we were not disappointed.
Those blue eyes!
The idea of using draped fabric I got from Wyn Wiley, a phenomenal photographer from Lincoln, Nebraska. Check out the shoot he did with fabric here. I can only dream of being as good as he is.
Portraits of an Athlete: Sarah
I was honored to work with one of Grinnell College's top cross-country runners. She is incredibly driven, talented, and - best of all - really fun to be around. Click on any photo to enlarge it.
Yep. 'Nuff said.
Daniela - Class of 2014
Daniela was so much fun to work with. Smart as all get-out and beautiful, she is going places.
