Few things are more worthwhile than celebrating one’s graduation from higher education! University graduation photos capture a milestone moment in one’s life that has been worked tirelessly towards. They’re the perfect excuse to get an extra wear out of the cap & gown you’ve spent years working towards, and a fun way to celebrate (by yourself or with friends!) before or after graduation weekend. Alyson wanted to capture some photos with her horse, since he is a big part and inspiration in her life. She graduates this spring, but wanted photos last summer so that they’re ready to go this y ..read more

This editorial styled session has ruminated in the back of my brain for close to a decade. I’m sure you’ll see more fashion inspired shoots from me, as I hope to prioritize “fun” photography again this year! I’ve missed picking up my camera for the joy of creating. This session, inspired by old JCrew lookbook catalogs set on misty highland paths, with fluffy farm animals and cozy wool knits, came together recently and it was the dreamiest evening. Enjoy this fall/winter set- proof that layers & styling can make even a dreary time of year look magical! ;) Much thanks to my friends Becca &am ..read more

Authentic Engagement Photo Session

As an adult, meeting other humans that you enjoy is just a total delight- and Clara & Duy ring true in that area! These two met in Vermont, in college, and became friends. They started dating, and after graduation, Clara moved back to the midwest for a job… and Duy followed her! However, he has lived 2 hours away in Omaha for the past 2 years, so they’ve navigated new cities, starting out in “adulthood” and a mid-distance relationship. It’s had challenges, for sure, but it’s been so sweet to watch them persevere, and find joy in the journey of it all. Duy set up the neatest proposal for C ..read more

Des Moines Extended Family Photographer // S Family

Few things are more worthwhile than investing in family photographs. Whether that looks like newborn photos with your first (or 4th!) baby, or gathering the troops for some extended family pictures- all will be passed down for years to come! Sometimes they’re a little stressful in the moment, but trust me that you’ll NEVER regret them. People change quickly (especially the kiddos!) and it’s easy to put off photos and then realize 10 years later, you never did get them scheduled. So, let this sweet extended family session remind you to schedule your family photos this summer!     ..read more

Brooke’s personality brings to mind a ray of sunshine- she lights up a space with ease! I loved getting to know her during our consult meeting and her senior photo session. Turns out, I am friends from college with a cousin of hers!! I love the intimate connections that running a business in Iowa brings about. :) When she’s not in classes, Brooke enjoys exploring the outdoors, hanging with her friends, and wresting on the team at her school in Gilbert. We had a gorgeous evening in September for her session, and I’m still enjoying the amazing jam and salsa her mom gifted me- seriously, these ar ..read more

Riely // SE Polk Senior Photographer

Riely and I immediately hit it off when she showed up to senior photos! Usually I try to grab coffee with my senior gals ahead of time, to get to know them a little bit- but Riely booked late in the summer and with my fall schedule, we didn’t meet up until her session. Regardless, it was a BLAST and she rocked modeling! Riely is a senior at Southeast Polk HS, where she cheers and clearly wins everyone’s love with that bright personality and smile of hers. I hope that 2024 brings lots of new seniors from SE Polk- because if they’re anything like Riely, I’m a fan!!   ..read more

Des Moines Studio Headshot Mini Sessions!

Headshot Mini Sessions!! For the very first time, I’m offering Mini Sessions for headshots. These are great if you want or need some professional, studio headshots taken to update your Linkedin, social media or website, or even just taking your very first professional photos after graduation. Normally, there is an additional cost built in to my studio headshot sessions, due to studio rental time and fees. By doing minis, I’m able to waive that fee for clients! Plus, most studios have a rental time of an hour- and my basic headshot sessions usually don’t take that full amount. :) Keep scrolli ..read more

Emilia brought her own magical flair to her fall senior photos. Often I try to meet up with seniors before their session, to help us both feel more comfortable during the session- but because of how busy late summer/fall is for us photographers, it didn’t happen and I’d only communicated with her mom, prior to session day. However, we had a wonderful time chatting about her hobbies, and enjoying the warm autumnal light. I love meeting other neurodivergent gals! Emilia shines brightest when sharing about her love for all things whimsical, fashionable, and of course- her love for the sport of fe ..read more
