Talk about a perfect summer evening in Ankeny! One of the main objectives of this shoot was to get a portrait of the Cook Family with Ankeny’s Summerfest carnival in the background! We got the shot (see the very end of the post!) and so many more before that!

Oh, our little ice cream break while we waited for the sun to go down was perfect! I think I should make that a standard schedule item for family shoots from now…

Amaing energy, easy flowing love, and photogenic smiles. The Cook Family is all that. I had a ball photographing you all! Can’t wait to see how the final prints look displayed in your home!
