These two laughed (and kept me laughing!) through the entire hour we spent together. I’ve known Emily’s grandparents most of my life through church, and it’s so so fun to see her all grown up now & planning her life and wedding with Kyle! They’re bound to have an adventurous life together for the years to come.
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.

The perfect evening exploring Des Moines with Sam and Jarad- and their dog!!- for some photos to celebrate summer, life, and their engagement. :) Enjoy!
Downtown engagement photos with two humans in love— I’m a fan! Sign me up for this life forever!
Enjoy this springtime engagement session at Pappajohn Sculpture Park in the heart of Des Moines!!
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!!
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! :)
Once you’ve picked a wedding venue and date, the next thing couples usually do is chose a wedding photographer! Often, a great question to ask your photographer is if they include an engagement session… read more to find out why!
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.
Trent and Jessica will be getting married in just under 2 months, so it was high time to get some engagement photos taken for them! I’ve known Jess for a while, and so when she emailed me that she knew the two of them would be getting engaged shortly and she wanted me to photograph them, well, how could I say no!?
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!!
Ada and James invited me out to Boston, to take engagement photos before they marry in Iowa this summer. Ada & I’ve known each other for years, both going to Iowa State University and then living in the Ames area after college working our first “real” jobs! James & Ada met then, and now are preparing for married life. I’m so excited for them!
Words can’t describe how special this session was to me! We took these on the outskirts of Palm Springs, and the California light had me drooling. These two are pretty cute, too! ;)
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’m all about the LIGHT. You know this if you’ve read my posts for any amount of time. After all, light makes photography happen. And I’m learning that desert light may be my FAAAAVORITE kind!!! Click through to see this sweet couple’s session in Arizona evening sunshine!
