A beautiful wedding day at Gehlen House & Barn in St. Donatus, Iowa. 🤍 congrats to Alindsey + Rob

There’s something so special about a wedding surrounded by rustic charm, meaningful moments, and the people who mean the most. From the quiet in-between moments to the joy of celebrating together, these are the memories that make a wedding day unforgettable.

The kind of day you wish you could bottle up and keep forever. ✨

A new chapter, well deserved. 🤍✨

Celebrating my mom and her retirement! After years of hard work, dedication, and so much of herself poured into what she does, it’s finally time for a little more freedom, new adventures, and time to enjoy this next season of life.

So happy I could capture these photos to mark such a special milestone. Here’s to everything that’s ahead! 🥂🤍

That sky last night was something else. 🧡🌅✨ The kind of sunset that makes you stop for a moment and just take it all in.

I’m back home from traveling this weekend and settling back in behind the camera (and computer! 😉). I’ll be spending the next few days finalizing galleries and working on sneak peeks from this weekend’s shoots.

There’s so much goodness coming, and I can’t wait to share more with you! 🤍

We lucked out with a little break between the rain storms for Taylor + Kyle’s engagement session. 🤍

An overcast evening, a beautiful spot at Kennedy Park, and two people who make it easy to photograph the in-between moments.

I made the drive up to Fort Dodge for these two, and I’m so glad I did. Sometimes the days that don’t look promising on the weather app end up giving you the most beautiful kind of light.

The big moments. The little things. The feeling of it all. ✨

So me haha 😂

Photographers, please tell me I’m not the only one whose sessions include accidental slapstick. 😂 What’s your most awkward photographer moment?

JUST ENGAGED? THIS ONE’S FOR YOU. 🤍

I spent yesterday at the wedding expo meeting so many newly engaged couples, hearing your stories, talking wedding photography, and - apparently - talking A LOT about albums. 😉

And honestly? I loved it.

So I decided to extend a little something special to the couples I met yesterday and any other couples who recently said YES and are planning a 2027 wedding.

YOUR 2027 WEDDING STORY

Book the full day wedding collection by September 30, 2026 and receive:

$500 OFF your full day collection
$5,000 → $4,500

PLUS

A complimentary 20-page wedding album.

Because your wedding photos shouldn’t just live on a hard drive or get buried in your camera roll. Your story deserves to be held, looked through, and passed around for years to come.

This offer is for newly engaged couples booking a 2027 full day wedding.

If we met at the expo yesterday, hi again. 👋
And if we didn’t? I’m so glad you’re here.
