I took engagement photos for Diane + Jamie in one of my favorite spots … St Anthony Main! I actually visited this adorable part of the Twin Cities for the first time in 2020 with my roommate. I was tickled to be back, this time taking engagement pictures for one of the kindest couples. So excited to share a few favorites with you!!
Maddi and Ryan met me at one of my favorite locations in Iowa- Ledges State Park!- for their engagement photos. We had the PERFECT summer evening… no clouds, and a light breeze to keep the humidity off! Highly recommend going to Ledges on a Monday, as there are barely any people around.

a little bit of writing from my heart. very occasionally this space becomes a journal and today it is that.
Alex and Chuck have been together for many years, and decided that it was time to celebrate their relationship with a wedding and stepping into marriage! After a year of planning, this day came together like only a dream could. Summertime sprinkles of rain showered the couple with love, and they vowed yes to forever on the outdoor patio of Cedar Ridge Winery. Such a beautiful wedding day!
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.
This senior photo mini session was SO fun!!

Iowa State in the spring- no better setting for senior photos!!
This wedding was such a beauty, and we had the perfect day (a bit muggy at first, but what else is new in Iowa!?) to celebrate Laura + Derek’s vows! Check out this stunning couple and their Prairie Moon Winery day!
The perfect evening exploring Des Moines with Sam and Jarad- and their dog!!- for some photos to celebrate summer, life, and their engagement. :) Enjoy!
This day wins all the awards in my book- give this couple and their photos some comment love!!

This sweet spring wedding will have you feeling some kind of way after you see the fun moments from this couple’s second wedding (thanks to the pandemic) at the historic Tea Room venue in downtown Des Moines!
This senior session was just so wonderful, and it’s crazy now that only a month ago things were still so brown!! I’m thankful spring (and summer TBH) finally arrived in Iowa, and cannot WAIT for senior sessions at the Art Center this summer when things are green & blooming!!
Enjoy this springtime engagement session at Pappajohn Sculpture Park in the heart of Des Moines!!
One of my best friends became an aunt recently, and her brother & his wife decided to take me up on newborn photos! I got to visit their historic home in the heart of Des Moines on a sunny spring afternoon, and captured some sweet moments of this tender (but chaotic & transitional!) season for the T family. Welcome to the world, baby Lewis!
