    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!

  • ALLISON + ADAM • DOWNTOWN CHICAGO ILLINOIS ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

    ALLISON + ADAM • DOWNTOWN CHICAGO ILLINOIS ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

    Engagement photos on a beautiful fall day in Downtown Chicago Illinois – honestly is anything better? My first time photographing a couple in the big city and hopefully not the last because I felt SO in my element. We started by Lincoln Park and walked around and ended up down by the water on the beach with a beautiful skyline view. OHHHMG. Allison + Adam are so sweet and are definitely pretty into each other ;) They knew all the fun places and gave me their own personal tour while I third wheeled with a camera. Basically how any date should go minus the third wheeling (haha I’m lame). Can’t wait to see what magic we come up with next July for their Iowa river wedding!

    I highly highly recommend booking an engagement session with your wedding package – not only do you get more photos and have more memories, but we get a chance to actually work with each other and get to know each other on a more intimate level so when it’s your wedding day, it’s like hanging out with old friends.

    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.

    TESSA • CREATIVE BRANDING HEADSHOTS • IOWA PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

    Tessa is a fertility awareness coach who contacted me for some personal branding photos – We bounced around Iowa with each other a little bit starting at a coffee shop and chit chatting at her home, and ending with some pretty sunset nature photos! I LOVE working with other women entrepreneurs and learning about what moves them and then put their creative vision to life with a photo shoot. My new favorite thing. I guess to be fair, I really love everything and spicing it up with headshots one day and a newborn the next – ahhhhh that’s the LIFE :)

    Having aesthetically pleasing images that reflect your story and your brand is SO important when it comes to marketing your business. The best way to help someone tell their story is to get to know them a little bit! All of my branding sessions come with a consult – let’s get to know each other. I want to know about you and your business, who your ideal client is, and what kind of vibe do you want to go with.

    So excited to also share Tessa’s website – GO LOOK how pretty it is and see if she might be able to help with some of your fertility needs :) EmpowHERed coaching
