I deliver all galleries through an online digital gallery service to the email address you provide. All images come as high resolution downloads with the option and ability to print your images. 

All galleries (with the exception of weddings and events) include a minimum of 25+ images. However, I am known in my business to over deliver and typically provide more in a final gallery. My perspective is this: I want you to love your images and if I've edited an image that I think you'll love, I want you to have it. I never make clients choose images out of a final gallery!

I am a lifestyle and wedding photographer, with a special focus on family, maternity and newborn photography. I offer a wide range of services including senior, couples, family, maternity, newborn, elopements, milestone sessions and more. I am always down to do a creative shoot, so if you don't see something listed just ask!

I am based out of the Ames, Iowa area focused on serving the central and southeast Iowa regions and beyond! I have a studio location in my hometown of Fairfield, Iowa as well that I give as an option to clients. I love exploring new locations and am more than willing to travel just to get the photo!

I always give clients the option before posting to any social media or blog sites. Your privacy is my first concern, and it won't offend me if you'd like a gallery to stay private. If you have children you want kept offline, I more than understand. Because of this, I always discuss with clients before  galleries are delivered.
