Happy Valentine’s Day 💕
I would be honored to be your maternity photographer in October. 😉

(Yes, I did the math. You’re welcome.)

But whether October brings a baby bump… or just a bold new version of YOU… this is your sign to step out of your comfort zone and into renewal.

If you’re in Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, or the Quad Cities and you’ve been thinking:
“I’ll book photos when I feel more ready…”
“I’m not photogenic…”
“Maybe after I lose the weight…”

Let me lovingly stop you right there.

You don’t need to change your body.
You don’t need to change your season of life.
You don’t need to wait for permission.

You deserve to see yourself in a photograph and actually fall in love with how you look — exactly where you are.

Pregnant with your first baby.
Pregnant with your last baby.
Starting over.
Leveling up.
Rediscovering yourself.

Renewal isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about finally seeing the woman you already are.

As a maternity photographer serving Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, and the Quad Cities, I specialize in makeovers and photoshoots that help women feel confident, radiant, and powerful — not someday… but now.

So if love is in the air this Valentine’s Day and October might have something special in store… 💕
Or you’re just ready for your own glow-up moment…

Let’s get you in front of my camera.

Because the best time to celebrate yourself is before you talk yourself out of it.

✨ MY 2025 PHOTO STUDIO GOALS-to create glam zone for all the ladies who haven’t gotten fancy since side bangs were trending.
1️⃣ Help women finally get a photo that isn’t cropped around their kids, ex, or double chin.
2️⃣ Fix the “I haven’t had a professional photo since my 8th grade yearbook” epidemic.
3️⃣ Help one woman a month see herself without the “I’m too old” filter. AND End the “I’ll book when I lose 20 lbs” era. Let's celebrate women NOW.
4️⃣ Give moms 3 peaceful hours where no one says “Mom, where are my shoes?”
5️⃣ Turn nervous clients into full Beyoncé-with-a-wind-machine energy by the end of their shoot.

Show you that aging didn’t dull your spark — you just needed good lighting and a hype team. If you are someone ready to feel powerful, pampered, and unbelievably photogenic…
this studio was built for YOU. 💖📸

Okay, I can’t believe I’m admitting this…
but for years I didn’t believe in myself.
I listened to every doubt, every “maybe you should play it safe,” every little voice that said, “Who do you think you are?”
Spoiler alert: I’m her.
The woman who bet on herself — and now helps other women do the same. 💅📸
Once I finally decided to believe in me, everything changed.
The clients came. The confidence came. The magic came.
And now? I’m bringing that same energy back to my first love — photography.
✨ This isn’t just a photoshoot. It’s a transformation.
When you see that photo and whisper, “That. Is. Me.” — something inside you shifts.
Confidence hits different when you see yourself the way the world already does.

I’m here to help you bet on yourself — and capture it.
Because when you back your ambition with action, your reflection gets a glow-up, too.

🔥 And since I’m coming back strong… I’m celebrating BIG:
👉 GIANT Black Friday Sale for my Iowa Bo***ir & Portrait sessions — right here in Kalona, Iowa, just outside Iowa City.

You deserve that pick-me-up. That proof. That “damn, I look good” moment.

📻 I’m going live on KCII 106.1 today at 4:55PM on Ask the Expert, and I’d love for you to tune in.

I’ll be sharing the heart behind my businesses — how they’ve always been about more than things… they’re about experiences.

About walking into a space and feeling something —
✨ A memory of home
✨ A sense of belonging
✨ The joy of discovering a piece of yourself you forgot
✨ Or a spark of hope for the life you’re building

Whether you’re on a date to discover new places, or wandering solo with an open heart… my store is a place where connection happens — to beauty, to memory, to healing.

🧡 It’s where past meets present, and your story finds a place to breathe.

I hope you’ll listen in — and I’d love to see you soon in Kalona or just outside Iowa City.

📸 ANGLES MATTER.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Slide 1: "Dang gurl..."
Slide 2: "... WHO is that?!"
😂 Proof that angles can either make you look like a model or a confused potato 🥔
That’s why professional photographers (🙋‍♂️ hi, hello!) know exactly how to work those flattering poses and angles. Because let’s be honest — raw images without the right angles are like screenshots from your front-facing camera by accident 😬

👉 Want to look like your best self without weird double chins, mystery shadows, or “what even is my face doing” moments?

I GOT YOU.

Whether you're looking for professional portraits in Iowa City, branding shots, or just want to upgrade your LinkedIn without triggering an identity crisis — let’s make magic happen ✨ (from the RIGHT angle 😎)
