100920B-01 I have known Brandi since freshman year of high school, not long after I first moved to Iowa.  She is one of my dearest friends and I absolutely love having the opportunity to capture her family portraits!! 100920B-06 Ok, can we take a moment to appreciate all those beautiful, bright blue eyes!  Their bold fun colors help make their eyes really pop!! 100920B-09 They're little guy, Ayden, is quite the character.  He was stingy with his smiles for many of the family portraits but he had so much fun playing and being snuggled by Mom and Dad. 100920B-15 100920B-17 100920B-20 100920B-29 100920B-38 One of Ayden's favorite things is collecting dandelions.  At the end of session, he was busy running around and picking as many as he could find while Matt, Brandi, and I took the opportunity to catch up.  100920B-45 Thank you, Bachmans!  I always love photographing your beautiful family and any opportunity to catch up with you!!
