While most of my session work is outside, I got to do something a little different this week. Just before listing their first home for sale, we set up a cozy home session for Erin and Matt. Erin asked if I would capture them in the space that has meant so much to them. Joey, […]

We met at the Devonian Fossil Gorge in Iowa City for Jazmin and Beau’s engagement session, which is one of my favorite locations. The stone is so light and pretty. I’m glad Jazmin picked this spot for their session! Thankfully, after a week of rain, we had a rain-free evening! As you’ll see throughout their […]

Jill and Ty’s Wisconsin engagement session was so special to photograph! I’ve known Jill since we were in high school together. Since then, I’ve gotten to photograph her family on a few occasions. When Jill reached out after Ty proposed, I was thrilled to have their wedding date available! Reconnecting with these two during their […]

After the long, cold winter months, it feels so good to be outside shooting sessions again! Taylor and Adam’s Cedar Rapids engagement session was the perfect way to spend the first moments of spring.  We aligned their engagement session with a wedding-planning trip to Taylor’s hometown of Cedar Rapids. As a photographer, I never quite […]

Hey there! This is something new I don’t share often about. I LOVE a good project! Especially if it comes with a dramatic before/after photo. While this project wasn’t overly dramatic, a few small changes during our master bedroom refresh turned our room from a cave I didn’t enjoy, to a room I never want […]

We’re only two weeks into 2021 and I’ve already photographed my first wedding of the year! You won’t believe Anna and Timothy planned their Iowa winter wonderland wedding in just THREE MONTHS! For those of you counting, that’s an entire wedding planned in a mere fourth of the time an average wedding takes to plan! […]
