It isn’t very often that I get to have a “first” any more. But I was so excited when Zoe’s mom reached out about me capturing her senior photos in Elkader. Growing up in the area, I have been to Elkader many times but never for a portrait session! And after our long day of […]

It was rainy. It was cold. And it was wet. I put a poll out on Instagram asking people if they thought the rain would stop for his session. The results? A resounding now. Ultimately, I left it up to Spencer if he wanted to try our luck for his rural Iowa senior session. And […]

Who’s ready for another St Feriole Island senior session? I AM!!! I always enjoy getting seniors in front of my camera. No, really! I love the challenge of making each session unique even if I am shooting at the same locations. But when the session is for a member of our Spokesmodel Team you know […]

After the large amount of rain and flooding we have had, I was surprised we were able to have Brenna’s Yellow River senior session as scheduled. Just five days prior, most of the spots we hit were underwater. But after a few trips, I knew the water would recede in time for us to have […]

Being sick last week put a real wrench in our plans. So with my health in mind, I took three full days away from the office to recover. And holy cow, it was needed but I was not ready for work on Monday. When I checked into my inboxes yesterday morning. I had 45 emails […]

One of my favorite things about being a photographer is the freedom it gives me. It also forces me to get out of the house more than once a week! Truth be told, I am a homebody. I like working on house projects. I like spending time with my dogs more than most people. No […]

Shiny trucks, fishing in the creek and a dip in the Mississippi, all part of the recipe for one epic Marquette Iowa senior session if I do say so myself! I met up with Maccoy just outside of Farmersburg for some pictures before heading east. Maccoy had a sweet Ford shined up and sitting up […]

Friday night lights are such a significant memory for many small town Iowa high schoolers. The chilly fall temps. The bright stadium lights. The echo of cheers as the home team crosses the goal line. So much excitement in those fleeting moments. Which is why I was equally excited to feature JT’s love of football […]

Less than a year ago I was photographing her older sister’s senior pictures. That is CRAZY! But last week it was Jordan’s turn to step in front of my camera! After rescheduling due to rain, we were finally able to explore one of northeast Iowa’s greatest treasures Downtown McGregor. It is such a hidden gem […]
