I am collaborating with Moms Connect Dubuque to bring a day of FREE mini family sessions for moms in Dubuque ! They will be signing people up, so be sure to contact them if there is a time slot you wish to have!

We are signing up two people for each time frame. If we get enough interest, we will add a date for more people to sign up. Let's see what we can do!

You will get a free 8x10 print with each mini session, plus edited images in a gallery for you to download.

🤩 Well hello, Beautiful !

I was so honored to be asked to take this beautiful girl's senior photos. I took photos for her older brother a couple years ago, and now I took her photos also.

Kayla will be entering her senior year of high school this year. Then she plans on attending NICC for nursing. Good luck in the future!

Class of 2025!

Knowing that I have happy clients is the best feeling in the world! I am always so happy knowing my couples love their photos.

This is an image that would normally be on the edge of being cut from the final images that would be sent to my client. However, I actually really love this one for a couple of reasons.

First - it shows the absolute joy that both the bride and groom had after their ceremony. This was when myself and my associate shooter took the bride & groom for an intimate session after the ceremony, and they were both just literally jumping for joy.

Second - that is my hand and arm that you see holding the bride's dress up in the back while she is working. This shows just a small part of what I do for my wedding couples when they are booked with me.

This image will for sure be in this couple's final gallery!

Venue was beautiful, the dress was gorgeous and sparkly, and the day was amazing for a wedding! Now I am exhausted though..but I really do love wedding photography .

Congrats Jazlyn and Jaydon!!

Current Editing List -

Thank you for being patient with me. My wait time right now for weddings is about 3 - 4 weeks and other sessions are about 2 - 3 weeks. This is the start of my busy season, so those times may change as the season moves on, but that is where we are right now.

Thank you to all of my clients for being so patient with me!
If you want family photos, senior photos, etc. done this summer, let's connect and get you on my books!
