Amy + Jon-Michael | Ledges State Park Engagement Photos

On Saturday Tanner and I made the short trek up to Ledges State Park just out of Boone to snap some fun engagement pictures of Amy and Jon-Michael. We have the pleasure of shooting their wedding at the end of  August in Carroll, IA.

At first when Amy approached me about doing an all-nature engagement shoot at a state park we thought might be a bit of a challenge for us without the grungy crazy locations we normally scout out for an e-session but Ledges turned out to be perfect! It did also help that Amy and Jon-Michael were full of laughs and jokes the entire time and that the weather just cooperated perfectly!

The entire park is a one-way drive through with many streams that actually go OVER the road to drive through.  (Odd huh!) I must say I might have had a bit to much fun zooming through them with Phyllis (our H3 Hummer, yes she has a name don’t judge!) and spraying the kids who were all excited to be drenched on the 80 degree day!

The first location we pulled over to shoot at was a cliff located just inside the park.

We can’t wait to shoot your wedding this August! You two are just so much fun and full of love!

The light was just PERFECT the other night on my way back from a run so I bolted upstairs to my condo and grabbed the 5D MK II and our new 100mm f/2.8 macro lens that I have been dying to try out a bit more! Just west of my place I  found some natural Iowa ‘flowers’  and snapped a few images.

I think that I need to use this lens a bit more often as it really makes me look at the world differently! Also need to plan some more sunset summer shoots as the light is just so incredibly gorgeous!

On a bit of a side note we have a jam packed Memorial Day weekend coming up with a double weddings! Tanner and I are excited to take part in sharing in the joyful days with two different brides!

Shelby 2011 Waukee High School Senior | Des Moines Senior Photographer

If your viewing this on Facebook shoot on over to our blog at https://www.ztsblog.com to view the images better!

Saturday afternoon we meet up to shoot with Shelby who is a senior to-be (in a few weeks!) gymnast and cheerleader at Waukee High School just outside of Des Moines. She has such a wonderful smile and positive personality! We had some great light and found some fun locations to shoot at! Senior pictures we love…there is just so much fun and creativity involved and making each senior session unique is something we strive to achieve.

We started out shooting a few pictures in East Village and then went around to some local spots in the downtown Des Moines area and ended up with some great lighting just before sunset at the new Pappa John Sculpture Park!

The TanMan hard at work

I always pass over this bridge and thought it would be awesome go shoot underneath it with the amazing columns!

As a cheerleader and gymnast Shelby seriously had some amazing ups! Check this out!

Another shot of Tanner in action.

As mentioned earlier Shelby is a gymast. Sweet back-walk over pics!

Thanks for letting us shoot you Shelby! Have a great senior year! (Next fall that is!) 🙂
