photo sessions | maternity & newborn

since yesterday marked baby girl isla's one month birthday, i thought it might be time to share a few of the maternity and newborn photos from katie lindgren photography.  peri knew katie from college and introduced us when we were all working in the wedding industry a couple years ago, and i immediately fell in love with her work.  she's super easy (and yet professional!) to work with, and as a bonus, her packaging is absolutely adorable :)  if you're looking for a photographer in the des moines area, i definitely recommend her!!  (here's the link to katie's blog post of the newborn photos)

for the maternity session, we went to the rose gardens at the art center in des moines - i had actually never been there, but it was a great location!

 

and, the newborn photos :)
