Erica and her sweet babies – a beautiful sunny morning at the rose garden was perfect for their family session. I personally don’t think that moms are ever in the camera enough, so when the focus is completely on mom and her kids, it’s the best.

HALEY MATERNITY • DES MOINES IOWA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Haley’s solo artsy creative maternity session at the art center in Des Moines Iowa 😍 Maternity photos should be about YOU and show off your vibe. Haley is colorful and fun and obviously one of my most beautiful favorite people, so a late fall maternity adventure during sunset was perfect (can’t wait for our snowy velvet session!)
One of the first questions I get when clients inquire with me for a maternity session is “How big do I have to be before I book?” and I usually follow by asking – well, how big do you WANT to be? Maternity sessions are typically booked late in the second trimester, but can also be booked as late as you feel like going! I want to make sure you feel good about yourself in these photos, so knowing that you’re in a physical state of *somewhat* comfort will be important!
Next – WHAT TO WEAR?! Trust me, I love fashion – I have good ideas for fashion and can generally offer advise on what will photograph or look good with the location, but when it comes to what you wear – I think it’s most important that it represents YOU and makes you feel good about yourself. If you wanna wear a bright yellow skirt with a “MAMA” shirt in leopard – HECK YES. If you want to wear a flowy velvet dress, YES! If you want to wear jeans and a sweatshirt – YAS GIRL GET IT!! I am here to make you feel like a pregnant goddess and have some fun.
I love meeting new mommas and helping them document this special time in their lives. Enjoy this beautiful momma’s maternity highlights and if you’re looking for someone to take YOUR maternity photos, let’s connect!

BRENNAN FAMILY • IOWA CITY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER • LAKE MACBRIDE
Families dancing in the sun, doing their thing, maybe a little bit of chaos. I LOVE THAT. An outdoor family session out by the lake – sometimes Iowa can be really beautiful, but a sweet family and a sunset – perfection. The Brennan family and I met way back last year for their really super hot extended family session – like HOT as in we were melting, but they’re a pretty fire family too! I absolutely love when families come back year after year (I’ve only been doing this a few years, but stiiiilll.) A perfect first day of fall session – we met at Lake Macbride and the five-o errr quint family and I just hung out and played. I have one child, but I’d like to think that I know generally how kids will behave during sessions. I will tell you, 8/10 they’re not going to just sit and smile and do what you say. The stakes are high, folks. Come ready to play and cuddle and DO – we gotta figure out what sweet & unique ways your family smiles together. Come as you are and I will capture that.
