Watching families grow and capturing their most special moments is such a joy, and this session truly filled my heart! I photographed big brother as a newborn and one year old, and now I’ve had the honor of photographing him again – this time as a playful, silly, and oh-so-sweet big brother to his brand-new baby brother. 💙

For this session, I leaned into what I’ve been focusing more on as a photographer lately – creating newborn images that feel a little more relaxed, natural, and true to life. The snuggles, the giggles, the tiny moments that make these early days so meaningful. So there’s a good handful of those mixed in with the more posed shots.

This baby boy is already so loved, with parents who radiate joy and a big brother ready to be his lifelong sidekick. I’m beyond grateful to this wonderful family for trusting me again to capture their beautiful, growing story. Welcome to the world, baby boy – your adventure starts here!

Stepping into the ring for something a little different! Had an incredible time creating content and branding photos for a local boxer to promote his upcoming fights. It was so exciting to play with lighting and get creative with the space—definitely a fun change from my usual shoots. I’m thrilled with how these shots turned out and would love to do more projects like this in the future! 🥊📸 #BoxingPhotography #CreativeBranding #IowaPhotographer

When disaster strikes, it’s what we hold closest to our hearts that we carry with us. For many fleeing the devastating fires in California, photographs of loved ones are among the first things they save—proof that memories and moments are truly priceless. Sending strength and compassion to everyone affected. Let this be a reminder of the power of preserving what matters most. ❤️

Christmas came early for this sweet family! 🎄✨ It was such a joy capturing baby Brogan during his Fresh48 session, when he was just 30 hours old. Watching this family grow has been so special—just like when they trusted me to photograph their last little nugget. There’s nothing more magical than welcoming a new life during the holiday season! ❤️🎁 So looking forward to capture more of his newborn sweetness at a studio session very soon! 📸
