I’m so thrilled to get to know these two - they’re also ISU Alumni (go Cyclones!) and we had so much fun hanging out on a warm October evening this year. Abby and Thomas will be getting married on campus, in Ames, next year and I’m just so excited to get to capture their love then, too!
Alondra and Austin celebrated their marriage, family, and blended lives on a gorgeous August day in the heart of downtown Des Moines. The Surety Hotel brought the perfect elegance to their wedding day, and I know it’s a wedding that family and friends will be talking about for years to come!!
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.
A postponed wedding date couldn’t stop these two from fully enjoying their wedding ceremony & reception with family and friends in Ankeny! The District Venue was the perfect setting for this simple yet glam wedding afternoon.
Maffit Lake is absolutely gorgeous, and was the perfect location for Elle’s late summertime senior photos with her horse. She rides competitively, and will probably continue to show in college, so it was perfect to include Franklin in her photos!
This day was SO HOT but you’d not know it from the photos!! Regan, Grant, and their whole crew were troopers and we had a wonderful August wedding day in Pella at Sun Valley Barn!
Fall is almost here- and it’s always my busiest season, so I’m always thankful when we get summer family photos in. :) Keeps my schedule more sane, and you get more of my focused attention!! These turned out so great & I’m glad we had wonderful weather for them!!
Enjoy a few favorite images from Kendra’s downtown senior photos in Des Moines, Iowa!

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!!
