Hello

The Whitmore Family

A Hancher Summer Family Shoot

Family & Kids

Well, this was super fun!! I photographed Sarah & Ian’s wedding back in 2015 and then the entire Whitmore family when Wes was just a few months old. Now Sarah is expected their second (a girl!) and she reached out asking if I could do some photos of them. Of course! Wes was very unsure […]

Rachel & David

A Walker Homestead Spring Wedding

Weddings

The sky was blue, the clouds puffy and white, the sun shone brightly on the ground. The humidity was so thick, you could almost see it in the air. The ceremony would be outside in full sun so my goal for photos was to keep people as comfortable as possible outdoors and find some shade. […]

An Iowa Memorial Union Spring Wedding

Weddings

They were coworkers for over a year before they started dating. When they started dating is up for debate. There are three options and all happened within the same week. (It was a big week for the future Walkers, haha!) “Option A: Mitch invited me over to his apartment on a Sunday afternoon. I had […]
