Documentary photography of those early moments
Here you'll find everything from maternity sessions to cake smash celebrations! My early life shoots lean more documentary than perfectly posed. I make you as comfortable as possible by coming to your home meeting you in a cozy studio in Cedar Rapids, IA. We'll do activities like read you baby a book or sing them a song.
I focus on you as a whole family during your sessions. If including everyone you love in your photos makes your heart happy, then keep scrolling to see more early life goodness.

Photo Editing
My colors are true to life with a touch of warmth almost like you're seeing a memory in real life. I focus on skin tones to make you look natural. Light plays a huge role in how the colors show up in your photos. For example, photos taken outside during golden hour will have a lovely golden hue and even lighting to make a beautiful composition. Versus a photo taken inside under florescent lighting will have different tones and uneven light.
Leave it to me to select the best areas to help you shine.
True to life, warm, romantic, intimate, nostalgic
Fine art albums, handcrafted memories.
It’s a lifetime’s keepsake beautifully made, just for you.
