Eva + Clara // Des Moines Lifestyle Photographer

I love nothing more than a sweet lifestyle session in an early 1900s apartment! Clara and Eva called this space home for a year while living together, and it was so special to capture them (and cat Puddin’) in this gorgeous Sherman Hill building. Let me know if you’d like to book your own lifestyle session here!

Summer as a child is the most magical of times! Long days at the community pool, catching fireflies and eating s’mores… I wish I could go back to the late 90’s for one more summertime. ;) This is a modern family living in a current reality, but I think these kids are still getting to experience summer in all its glory!

Swim & Clothing Brand Photography

This photoshoot was a DREAM!! Working with some incredible models, on a beautiful beach in Hawaii, with the swimwear brand Acacia— literally the perfect evening, especially for January. ;) I’m so incredibly thankful for this experience with branding photography and hope to have more in the near future. Working with real models (no retouching- just real skin!!) and an amazing company was so much fun.

Des Moines In-Home Couple's Session

I joyfully spent an hour on a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon with these two. They made my job SO EASY!!!! I sure hope that someday, Mary and Bobby look back on these photos and remember the simple and tenderness of this season— just them (and their doggo!) making a life together in their first apartment. I smile looking at each one of these, and I hope they bring you joy as well!

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!

Naomi + James // Intimate In-Home Anniversary Photos (part one)

Have you ever wished you didn’t have to move out of your first apartment? Well, I can’t help you with that— but I can help you remember just a little bit of how it felt to live there! I offer in-home sessions (for those in homes, apartments, or just about anywhere!) for anyone looking to hold on a little longer to a space. Naomi and James have lived in this sweet one-bedroom apartment for a year, and it was a joy to photograph them living life together on random Wednesday afternoon.

What To Wear for Family Photos

What To Wear for Family Photos

Happy September! With my fall mini-sessions coming up in just a month, I've had lots of questions on what to wear for family photos! Picking outfits can be a challenge, so I decided to create a few free resources for families who want to look "on point" for their pictures! (Does anyone even say that anymore?!) One great resource is Pinterest. I've created a Pinterest Board specifically for families & family photo outfits!

Amelia McMurrin // International Artist & Painter

Branding photography for small creative businesses has been on my radar for a long time! I love connecting other artists to the world through great imagery & social media--and with other artists, as well! Amelia McMurrin (not to be confused with me! ha.) paints incredible art. Her favorite medium is oil paint, but she's also extremely talented at watercolor, sketching, and multi-media art.
