In terms of summer senior sessions, Abby hit the jackpot for her session on the Mississippi River. The weather was on the cooler side compared to the days leading up to it. There was just enough breeze to keep the bugs away. And better yet, we had a sunset for the ages! As per usual, […]

Motor Mill was always the plan for Scotlyn’s individual senior session. But last minute we decided to throw in some Downtown Elkader locations too! And man oh man was I excited! Ever since Zoe’s senior session there last year I have been dying to go back. It has all the charm that I love to […]

One of the biggest challenges I face with senior sessions is making sure every senior gets a unique experience. And that is especially true when we visit the same town four times in the same week! Thankfully, I have scouted almost every inch of Decorah so we can continue to get unique portraits for all […]

There is nothing I love more than when seniors take me to hidden pieces of paradise! Seriously there is nothing better!!! Don’t get me wrong, I love the downtown settings and the rivers just as much as the next girl. BUT I love the creativity involved in showing up to a location for the first […]

I’ll be honest, when I first started taking on portrait clients I was in it for the love of photography. So while I loved that aspect, working with clients made me so nervous. Like give myself a pep talk before every single session nervous! Thankfully, my confidence has grown a lot since then. But a […]

I’m not gonna lie it feels like YEARS since we have had a camera in our hands! I guess that’s what happens when you have a baby and the days last forever but the time goes quick. Confusing I know, but all you parents get me…right? Thankfully this sunflower field session with my girl Zoee […]

This blog post is an exciting one!!! Throughout all the craziness of the last few months, I have been unable to shoot many portrait sessions. And it has been hard! It has been SEVEN months since I photographed an individual senior session until Marlene’s session at Spook Cave! I was hesitant about booking sessions in […]

When COVID ruins all of your original styled shoot plans but then the last minute change up turns out even better, you know it’s going to be a great year! I am so excited to officially hand over the reigns to the Class of 2021! We met up at the Waukon Iowa City Park last […]
