The first photo…. 😍

One week of Mr. and Mrs. Morarend 🤍 It was an absolute honor being able to celebrate Auggie and Luke and capture these special moments as they start their journey in life and faith as husband and wife. They are a true testament to loving out loud, supporting one another, and never taking life too seriously!

Don’t miss this—Now booking college senior photos for Class of 2026! 📸

Spring break is coming up quick. Then the rest of the semester will fly by. Next thing you know, you’re getting ready to walk across the stage as a college graduate. 🎓

Senior grad sessions are a great opportunity to take in campus one more time, take your time enjoying photos rather than rushing around on graduation day, or a run-through of your graduation day hair (or tying a tie…gentleman: I see you!)

Sessions can take place on campus or in the Dubuque area. DM me to book your slot! I have limited sessions this year due to a work trip in early May, so make sure to schedule soon! 📆

How we’re starting 2026: speechless.

Technically this was my last session of 2025 but it’s my first gallery delivered this new year. These next 12 months are going to be so much fun—I truly did not expect photography would take me to where I am now and give me the opportunity to work with the most amazing clients. Photography started as a part of my job when I worked in athletics, then became my creative outlet, and then became a small business that has turned into photographing every milestone from babies to graduations to weddings and multigenerational families!

Being responsible for capturing someone’s most intimate, special, and once in a lifetime moments is crazy scary. I still get nervous before every shoot!!

But then working with couples like Auggie and Luke, sessions like this incredible engagement shoot, and finding out what an impact these images have on people shakes those nerves away.

Auggie & Luke: I couldn’t think of a better way to kick off this year than sharing your love story. Can’t wait to kick off the 2026 wedding schedule with the future Morarends in a few months 🤍

Part II of this unforgettable session coming soon!

You all know I love my college grads, but fall semester graduation photos just may be one of my new favorite sessions 🤩🎓

Congratulations, Maddie! You will do SUCH great things (and whenever you doubt yourself, remember you did this photoshoot in single digit windchills and rocked it! 💙)

She said yes! ❄️💍

Congratulations to Zak & Erin! I’ve known Zak for six years and remember when he told me he and Erin were first dating. He was so excited and talked about how happy she made him over and over again!

It’s evident from their smiles and connection they are perfect together! Zak pulled off a stellar surprise and the excitement of the day definitely outweighed the sub-zero temperatures!

Here’s to the next adventure and all the happiness along the way!

More favorites from a magical fall photo season 🤍

Sarah & Riley returned to the Arboretum, the place she said “yes” for a stunning fall engagement photoshoot! We wrapped up their session in the Millwork District to capture the Dubuque connection that started their love story! Their love is so genuine and they make it so easy to have fun together — I can’t wait for their wedding day in 2026!
