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!

JESSICA + CALLEN • IOWA ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
UGH I am SO SLOW when it comes to blogging and trust me I want to share every single photo from every single session but do not make it a priority and that’s why you only see a post every 6 months from me. Ope. We did their engagement session about a year ago and I am still living through this session. First of all, I love people who have colorful souls and when those beautiful souls color their whole life (or head of hair) – you are my people. Jessica + Callen have such a gentle and peaceful relationship. They come off as best friends, but you know they’re super into each other too ;) We did their engagement photos at the creepy old church on Grand (that they’re going to tear down and I AM SO SAD ABOUT IT) Hint to my summer engagement friends – let’s go exploring. If you’ve never danced in the rose garden at the Des Moines Art Center, you’re also in for a treat. They’re in full bloom right now and will not disappoint. Well anyway, as I always say – less talking and more photo looking.
