Family Photography | Algona, IA

I absolutely loved following Matt, Hilary and their beautiful son Charlie as they did their normal evening stroll around the farm.

Passing on the love of family, land, work & time to Charlie.

This is the Heartland.  

Still.

Well guys...I'm thinking Charlie is going to be a farmer...he smiled at a tractor tire like it was his best friend. 

The sweetest thing.

The Black Marker Project.

this is what gets me excited.

this is the skip to my step, the sun in my shine.

don't get me wrong, I really do love the other photography I get to do...

but this.

my black marker project is coming together with the writings of the beautiful Kelly Bay.

we always wonder when we are mothers.

who will our children be.

what will they do.

we all leave a footprint of sorts in our lifetime...good or bad...it's there.

most of us leave our mark with the words we say and the little things we do to the people that cross our path...i know, it's scary to think about.

this is beautiful Madi...

this girl, she will leave footprints of kindness, helping others...loving them, caring for them...

a nurse to be, how awesome is that...
