Sarah and Alyssa and I met on morning shoots over the past 6 months. However, in the past month, we've begun shooting much more than we ever have together. I've shot several times with Alyssa and over a dozen times with Sarah. We've seen both our shooting and editing skills grow and it's so exciting!
At the beginning of the year, one of my goals was to invest in female creative community in Des Moines, not at the exclusion of men, but rather with the purpose of developing an atmosphere of encouragement among lady creatives. I didn't know how this would look, but it turns out it looks a lot like these two ladies and a few others who have been coming and shooting with us.
Yesterday, we met at Starbucks early in the morning and sped to Saylorville to catch the sunrise. There's a spot under a bridge on the lake where you get a clear view. The morning was rather overcast, but that lends itself to pretty rad portraits. These are a few of my favourites.
