Lay back, act natural, and let’s take some pictures

My photography is all about preserving life's most beautiful, heartfelt moments with a soft, glowing touch. Specializing in lifestyle, portrait, family, and nature photography, I create images that feel warm, authentic, and timeless. Whether it's the quiet beauty of a sunlit field, the laughter of a family, or the soulful depth of a portrait, my work is designed to highlight genuine emotion and connection. Every session is thoughtfully crafted to reflect the essence of the people and places within it, creating images that tell stories worth cherishing forever.

FAQ

When will we receive our pictures?

Your edited photos will be delivered in an online gallery within 2-3 weeks (often sooner, depending on the season). From your gallery, you’ll be able to download all images, share them with loved ones, mark your favorites, and order prints directly.

How Many pictures will I Receive?

I don’t set a specific number of photos to deliver because I don’t believe in limiting your memories. Instead, I focus on quality over quantity—carefully selecting the most meaningful and beautiful images to tell your story in the best way possible.

Where are you based & do you travel?

I’m happy to travel outside the Des Moines area for photo sessions! I can travel to Cedar Rapids and Iowa City for a small additional fee, and for destinations outside of Iowa, we can discuss travel details further to ensure the best experience.

What should we wear for our session?

Choose outfits that reflect your personality and make you feel confident, focusing on timeless colors and comfortable, well-fitted clothing that enhances your natural beauty.

Do you do Couples Photography?

ABSOLUTELY! Couples photography is all about capturing the love, connection, and authentic moments between you and your partner. Whether it's a cozy embrace or a joyful adventure, I create timeless, heartfelt images that celebrate your unique bond.

Testimonials

She is amazing and patient. My little one was having a rough day and she was able to adjust our shoot to him and move us around him. She was great at thinking on the spot of how to pose if one pose didn’t look right. We will absolutely use her for all of our photography needs for the rest of time.
