Your session will not be officially booked until all three steps have been completed.
Sessions are limited to 5 family members.
Exact location is yet to be determined but will likely be in the Cedar Rapids area in an outdoor setting with (hopefully) some gorgeous fall colors (i.e.- Palisades-Kepler State Park). Sessions will be rain or shine. In the case of inclement weather, sessions will take place in my downtown studio. Further instructions and details will be emailed in the coming weeks.
Almost nine years of friendship, countless weddings together, mini sessions, editing days, road trips, laughs, and somehow now… this.
Getting to photograph one of your closest friends as she gets ready to become a mom is one of those full-circle moments that reminds me why I love what I do.
You two already make such a beautiful team, and I have no doubt you’re about to become incredible parents. I can’t wait to meet this sweet little baby and watch your next adventure begin.

One of my favorite parts of this job isn’t just photographing families, it’s growing alongside them.
I’ve had the privilege of documenting John’s newborn session, his six-month milestone, and now his first birthday. Watching Grace become such a sweet, proud big sister while their family grows has been so special to witness.
These are the moments that matter most: the laughter, the snuggles, the tiny dimpled hands, and the ordinary evenings that someday won’t feel ordinary at all.
Thank you for inviting me back, year after year, to tell your family’s story. It truly means more than you know. 🤍
Big smiles, wobbly steps, nonstop curiosity, and just enough determination to keep everyone moving. This little guy had us laughing all evening.
Between the family snuggles, sweet moments with Grace, and a whole lot of golden sunshine, this session was such a fun way to celebrate his first birthday.
I’m so thankful this sweet family continues to invite me back to capture these milestones. Watching little personalities bloom, and families grow together, is one of the best parts of what I get to do.
It feels like yesterday we were wrapping Barrett up for his newborn photos.
Now he’s on the move, full of smiles, curious about everything, carrying around the same little teddy bear… and making quick work of his birthday cake. 🧸✨
Golden light, sweet parents, and one very happy one-year-old. I’d call that a pretty perfect
