Every year I try and pick out a couple soon-to-be seniors who would be great at promoting my studio and make them my Senior Models for the year. Their job is to help get my studio name out to their classmates, tell them about the super cool things I do to make each senior...
Commercial photography is a nice break from my normal routine of photographing people. It’s a fun challenge to walk into an area and have to figure out how to light it properly in order to really show off the features of a room. These images are some remodeling projects that Cates Fine Homes in...
I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful Angela during her pregnancy. She wanted to do some fun, creative shots to document her second pregnancy and she even talked her husband into coming with! They are such a cute couple and make such cute babies – can’t wait to meet the newest addition to...
I can hardly believe that I have photographed this little guy for a year now! It all started with his newborn session, and now, here we are, celebrating his one year milestone with a super fun kid’s session complete with a cake smash! It has been such a great year watching this little guy...
Matt & Megan are the most laid back couple I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They are up for absolutely anything and really gave me creative freedom not only on their engagement session but their entire wedding design suite (more on that later in a different post!). The only request they...

I believe that an engagement session should be about who YOU are as a couple and so I love doing sessions at places that are meaningful. Nick and Meggie met during college at the University of Iowa, so it was very fitting for us to do the session at various places around campus. I...
Kelly & Nolan are one of my couples that live in the Twin Cities but are getting married back in Iowa, in Kelly’s hometown, this coming fall. So to get the best of both worlds, we decided to do their engagement session up in the Twin Cities to tie that part of their life...
Last year was the first year children’s photography started to be a big part of my business and I’ve loved every minute of it! Ava is my cousin’s daughter and they live in Illinois, around Chicago – so needless to say I do not get to see her that often. But I did have...
I absolutely LOVE photographing newborns. They are so small and snuggly, you can do so many things with them to create wonderful pieces of art your clients will treasure forever. When my best friend from high school, Natalie, told me she was going to have a baby, I just knew I had to do...
