Bio: I would describe myself as a down-to-earth creative who is’t afraid to be honest. I like to have fun and act like a weird-o sometimes. I strongly believe that having killer photos of yourself, no matter who you are, can work wonders on your confidence and I love being able to create that imagery for teens as they begin the journey of stepping out on their own in this crazy world. Believe it or not I’m a country girl at heart and learned of my love for photography through 4H. I started a full service portrait studio in 2006 after graduating from Hawkeye Comm. College with a degree in Professional Photography. It grew quick and I soon realized that my favorite subjects were seniors. When I started my current biz in 2014 I was bound and determined to build a brand solely focusing on teen photography. I continue furthering my skills through conferences, workshops and competitions and became a Master of Photography through PPA in 2017 and a Photographic Craftsman in 2022. I will never stop learning how to better my craft and I’m so excited to be able to teach other photographers how to create amazing experiences for their clients.
