Des Moines Family Photographer
Summer evenings- when the sun sets late, the birds and cicadas provide a music (no batteries needed!) and …we can just pretend that bugs don’t exist for this moment in time. ;) Family photos in summertime are my favorite- colorful flowers and grass, blue skies, and the promise of ice cream on the way home!
Capturing family photos always means a lot- maybe it’s because my own family rarely makes time to do this! Life moves too fast to not have some printed memories, and I’m so glad I was able to fit this crew into my fall schedule. :)
Allergy season is here, which is unfortunate for my sinuses and tissue budget, but fortunate for you all and anyone who enjoys beautiful flowering plants & trees!! I have a few spots left for spring mini’s and wanted to make sure you all know about it! :)
Valentine Mini’s for 2023 are a GO!! Pop into the full blog post for details!!
This sweet family transplanted to Iowa, and it was so fun to connect with them to update their family photos. Kids grow up so fast… so make sure you remember to capture the moments while they’re happening!
Newborn photos are always a treat for me- I just wish I could stay longer to snuggle them, every time. ;) I’m so excited that I’ll have a few more newborn sessions this winter to keep me fresh!! Enjoy sweet Nellie when she was just a few weeks old.
Spring Mini-Sessions are a go! Click the link to read more info, and head to the Contact page to email me. :)
This family is near to my heart. After all, I’ve taken their annual family photos for 5 years now! It’s crazy to have known them since it was just mom and dad… now they’ve got two sweet kids, and lots of laughter in their home. Click to see more photos of this sweet springtime family session.
What’s better than family photos? Family photos in the fall, when the leaves have just turned brilliantly, but still hang on to their homey branches. I loved photographing the Ha family this autumn, and think you’ll love meeting them in this blog post, too.
My sweet friend Rachel asked me this summer about my availability to photograph her family after the arrival of her first child, Evy. I was, of course, over the moon! In-home family photos take the cake for just about anything… especially during winter. ;) Click the post title to see more sweet newborn photos!
Fall is always a popular time of year for family photos, and 2019 has been no exception! Check out two of my favs and their cute kiddos.
Spring is the perfect time to catch up on family photos. Not only are the kiddos thrilled to be able to run & play outside after a long winter, but the weather feels warm and the green tones refresh the soul! I had the pleasure of photographing some of the most energetic and excited children in Des Moines last week. These siblings love each other, obsess over their newest baby brother, and made a quick friend of me!
It has taken me a long time to finally get around to blogging some of my sweet fall family mini-session photos! I love meeting the Hornberg fam—the two girls gave me a run for my money, but we had a blast chasing each other around in the grass. There are so many family photographers in the Des Moines and Ames area… it really was a treat to be chosen by mom Katie, to update the family photos! I can’t wait to see these sweet girls grow up over the years.
This fall, I did my first-ever Fall Mini-Session weekend. And it was CRAZY!!! I actually had to add time slots, which blew my mind. It was the perfect welcome to living and being a family photographer in Des Moines! The day of my mini sessions in Des Moines, it was cool and cloudy, perfect weather for fall photos. I had the best time meeting some new families, and playing with the cutest kids!

It’s always an honor when friends trust me to take photos of their lives! I’ve known Mary and Tom since childhood. Although we aren’t close anymore (living in different cities and being in totally unique life stages can do that!), I love seeing them at friends weddings or just bumping in to them when I’m back in Cedar Falls.
I'm so excited to announce my Fall Mini-Session dates! This is the first year that I've been able to really do this (hooray for full time photography!) and I'm just so excited to see what families sign up for a session.
When the Felkins family asked me to photograph their family, I was thrilled! I've known the twin girls, Sam and Alex, for a few years now and had come into contact with the rest of the family briefly over time. Michael is a pastor at a local church, and he's also officiated quite a few of the weddings that I've photographed! We started off their family photo session in their backyard. It's always special to photograph people in "their" space. Plus, that meant dog Tex could join in on the fun! He was a fan of the love, as you'll soon see.
Family photos tell the story of what bonds a specific cluster of humans, and who they are together. We don't take family photos for today, we take them for the future. They will be passed on, and remembered, for years to come! Personally, I love looking at family photos from my childhood! They help me reminisce (or wish I could) on the places we've been, the people we were, and simple things... like what I loved as a kid. (My purple corduroy overalls and matching hat, if you were wondering.) So, it was a true joy for me to drive from Des Moines to Cedar Falls to take family pictures for our neighbor family earlier in July!
