This family is one of the most genuine and loving families you'll ever meet! Kirsten is warm and inviting, always creating and making a comfortable space for her family and anyone around her. Alex is one of the most passionate and encouraging persons you could know—he loves his family, his job, and people in general. Together, these two are a power couple! God has called them into full time ministry with college students, and together they love, train, and serve students well. I know this from firsthand experience. :) 

Kirsten and Alex met at Iowa State when they both accepted a two year commitment to do campus ministry. They fell in love with ministry and each other during those two years, got married, had Claire, accepted a new position leading the ministry at UNI (Go Panthers!) and just a few short weeks ago, welcomed their newest addition, sweet Nola Mae! 

I am so excited to watch this little family blossom and grow, just as their garden & porch flowers, and even their students in ministry will. Newmasters, it is an honor and blessing to call you friends and co-workers. Thank you for allowing me to take your family & newborn photos!
