Hello 2017! | Fall Family Photos | Ames Iowa Family Photography

Hello 2017! I’ve taken a step back from the photo biz for a few weeks as I celebrate the holidays with my family. During that time I’ve been reflecting on many things, including why I add a photography business to an already crazy life. It comes down to being part of moments, and choosing to focus on happiness and joy. Helping to preserve the way a child squinted their eyes, or even their cheesy grin when they know there’s a camera around. Those moments don’t last forever!

In 2017, I’m going to try blogging a little more frequently, to share my work and maybe some of my ramblings. I want to take this opportunity to thank one of the families who has been part of Brandau Photography since before it existed. Thank you for all the support and encouragement you’ve shown me as I’ve begun this journey! Words can’t express how thankful I am. Your family is always a blast to photograph. You don’t take yourself (or the photo session!) too seriously, and as a result, we have a ton of fun - even if that means I go home with a shirt full of leaves! :)

Baby B! | Central Iowa Newborn and Family Photography

One of the things I vowed to do as I enter year two of this wonderful journey I'm on is blog more! So we'll give this a go and see how often I actually do it. Ha! :)

This is a newborn family session that was shot in the client's home. I love that shooting in a client's home allows me to incorporate all those things that are meaningful to the family. And come on, how often do you see newborn photos on a baby grand?!

Thank you for allowing me to capture these special moments!
