Believe it or not, this isn't a senior shoot!

Meet Braiden! Although still in high school, he started his own detailing business called Braidens Auto Detailing. He reached out to me to help him create content for his business and I couldn't have been happier to help this talented and hardworking young man!

He has insane attention to detail and didn't stop until there wasn't a speck left in or on this car!

If you are in the central Iowa area and need an auto detail, check him out!

I was grateful that Deborah and Robert asked me to take photos of their special day! Check out some of the photos in the latest issue of Iowa Living Magazines - Altoona!

NEW THIS WEEK!
ALTOONA LIVING MAGAZINE!

A WEDDING TO REMEMBER: Couple shares how they made their day special. — Few milestones are as momentous as a wedding. Family and friends often gather from near and far, the preparations may take months, and every detail is given thought. From the wedding attire to the decorations, music and venue, the couple makes countless decisions with one goal in mind: for theirs to be a wedding to remember. This month, one couple shares the scrupulous planning they did so their special day would be exactly as they envisioned. If a wedding is in your future, we hope you find inspiration from their story. Or, perhaps, their journey will spark memories of your own.

Also in this issue:
• Meet Brooke Weir
• Savory pork chili
• Sewing, sushi and Scribblebots

When you’re neighhh-bor (see what I did there?) is an Iowa State Fair Cowgirl Queen, you make sure her senior photos are a little bit country! 🐴

Thanks for the fun photo shoot, Eva and Kim!
