You are not ready for the adorable couple that is Annie & Riley!! We had a great time enjoying the sunshine and wild sunset at Water Works Park in the heart of Des Moines. This location never disappoints!! And neither, apparently, do my couples. 😍

Sarah and Ben are adventurous and fun- I’m so glad our paths crossed and hope to see these two through my lens again in upcoming years!
Josh and Haley invited me to Minneapolis, Minnesota to take some engagement photos of them… with an airplane!! And we also were surprised to find out Mother Nature wanted to join, and brought the snow. A perfect January day in the Midwest, right!? Enjoy!
this is something new for me- engagement photos at the state fairgrounds! I LOVE the Iowa State Fair, and the trees are historic and colorful in the fall. I think they’re the perfect backdrop for a magical engagement session!!
Enjoy Wendy + Drake’s sweet engagement photos around the Des Moines metro!
I loved getting to explore downtown Waterloo with these two— they just moved “back” there… Mallory grew up in CF, and she and Aaron met in college at UNI! So, how fitting that these two will begin their married life in the Cedar Valley again.
Brooke and Tyler made time in their busy spring schedules to fit in some engagement photos with me— I’m soooo excited to get to spend the entire day with them and their crew when they marry in just a few short weeks!! We’re going to have the best time celebrating up in Ankeny at The District Venue!!
Join me and take a peek into one of the most fun engagement sessions you’ve EVER seen! Abbie + Ben met me downtown Des Moines for some urban and rooftop photos. It was the perfect evening + I wish I could relive it over and over again!!
I’ve known these two for years, and actually got to take both Ethan and Maggie’s senior photos. Needless to say, watching them grow into kind & talented adults brings a huge smile to my face! So when Maggie emailed me about photographing their engagement photos, I couldn’t say no. Check out these fun wintery engagement pictures.
Fall vibes, a golden field of grasses, and changing leaves can only mean one thing… fall engagement photos are HERE! I love this time of year, as nature transitions to what will be winter. It’s the brightest time of year for color! And these bright humans— Geoffrey and Kristie— brought lots of laughter & kisses & sweet moments to their engagement session at Grimes Farm in Marshalltown, Iowa. Click the link for more!
These two are so much fun! I met with Kristina last year, before the world changed drastically, and we dreamed together about her wedding day at the Tea Room in downtown Des Moines. Well, 2020 turned on us and Brian + Kristina moved their wedding reception to next year, with an intimate ceremony planned for this fall. Thankfully, they made time to take engagement photos this summer & it was a blast to hang out in East Village and a nearby lake.
A girl from Iowa and a guy from Idaho meet during college and after graduation and grad school and long distance, settle in San Diego… where he proposes! They roadtrip to see her family in Iowa, and get engagement photos done on a magical summery evening. Click to see more sweet engagement pictures!

Evette and I met during our college years, and we didn’t really stay in touch. However, social media has a way of keeping even acquaintances connected. So when Evette moved to Des Moines, and got engaged, she sent me an email. It was so much fun to reconnect with her during engagement photos with her and her fiance, Cole!
Whitney and Daniel waited SO patiently throughout the month of April for the weather to warm up and things to settle down with COVID to schedule engagement photos. (We actually planned to take them in April, but pushed photos back to May… and honestly I’m so glad we did because we had the MOST gorgeous night!) You’re going to love this couple. They’re so much fun, and it’s going to be a blast celebrating their wedding in October!!!
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!
This fun and casual winter engagement session might just be a favorite forever. Not only are Kalen + Emileigh two of my favorite humans, but we had a blast exploring Des Moines and Jester Park together. Keep an eye out next month for more photos of these two bubbly humans— they get married in March!
Kyle, Kenzie, and I had a wonderful evening in downtown Des Moines, photographing their engagement photos. These two made conversation and shooting a breeze. Enjoy some of my favorites from this joy-filled engagement session!
3 years ago, Kyle and Megan had a date at Ledges State Park to hike and enjoy the fall leaves. This October, they’re engaged and planning their June wedding… and we took engagement photos out at Ledges! It was the perfect fall evening, so take a peek at this cute couple. ;)
Late summer and early fall are some of the prettiest times in the Midwest. Yellow wildflowers pop their shiny faces out of deepening grasses, and storms roll in at sunset to replenish the fields. Megan + Evan’s nature filled engagement session is up on the blog and sure to make you smile!
