Iowa Engagement Photographer
A winter tromp in the woods is good for one’s mental, physical, and apparently- creative!- health. I wandered around a newly discovered park near my home on a cold, sunny afternoon and decided that this was indeed the perfect location for an editorial session, inspired by the JCrew catalogs of days gone by. The only thing that would have made this shoot better? Some rouge sheep (or Highland cows!) and green Hunter wellies!!
Marissa and Moose are such a dynamic couple. It’s always so fun to see couples who have known each other for a while - these two go back to middle school! But you’ll have to click the blog title to head into the post to read their actual story. ;) I can’t wait to capture their Clear Lake wedding day this fall!
These two bring such joy to the people in their world, and it’ll be so much fun to celebrate their love next spring in Iowa City!!
Snowy winter photos are always so pretty (but so cold hahaha). Thankfully, we had a decently warm afternoon in December to sneak these photos in! The sunshine didn’t hurt, either. :) Enjoy highlights from this session just outside of the Des Moines metro!
Enjoy some of the best views of DSM with Rachel & Nate’s engagement photos!!
Engagement photos for friends is the best- because we just get to hang out in amazing light and be silly together. ;) This engagement shoot was no exception! Michelle and Matt are some of the best people I know, and their partnership is delightful. I can’t wait for their November wedding in West Des Moines this fall!

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!!
These two were the MOST fun— proof that self-proclaimed un-models can rock any sort of photo session with the right photographers! I set up this session as part of a mentoring connection with Melissa and it was a blast. Bri and Isaac stepped up last minute to model after previous plans fell through and it was just meant to be! Thanks for braving the chilly fall weather, you two! Hope it was as fun for you as it was for me! :)
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.
I grew up in Cedar Falls with Laura’s family. I honestly can’t remember a time in Iowa without knowing them! So it was a fun surprise to get an email from Laura, saying that she’d love to have me photograph her wedding to Andrew. Click the post to read more.
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!
Sierra’s vibe is “boho bride” and I loved the outfits she put together for this session! I just can’t wait to see her vision for their wedding day come to life. It’s going to be one AMAZING event, and I am so excited to celebrate with these two and their families! Check out more photos from this sweet summery farm engagement session, just outside the Des Moines limits.
After a crazy spring, full of funky weather and COVID cancellations, we finally managed to get a date and location set for engagement photos with Kirsten and Mike! These two had plans to marry in Michigan this summer, but now we’re playing locations by ear. Thankfully, these two were able to drive down from Minnesota to meet me in Mason City for engagement photos. We had a little bit of a chilly evening, but captured some super cute photos of these two in love!
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!!!
