Everyone in Des Moines knows the best time of the year, and that’s when Water Works flowers bloom. The best. It doesn’t last very long, but it’s magical AF. Colorful, dreamy, bright. I love how this session makes me feel. I’m also blogging this on the same night that I’m delivering the gallery, which never happens and will probably never happen again.
If you LOVE flowers and need a romantic date night idea, let’s get in touch!
The sweetest family and the sweetest Iowa summer 😍 Taking it back a little bit to sunshine and green and WARMTH.

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!
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
