01 · What we do
three kinds of session, one way of working.
Contemporary photography with a fine art foundation. I stay close, work quietly, and photograph what actually happens.
portrait & family
Sessions that feel like an afternoon together, not an appointment. The kids can be loud. The dog can come.
senior photography
High school senior portraits, made at the Cedar Rapids studio or somewhere that already means something to you.
02 · Selected work
iowa venues, honest light, no posing drills.
03 · Process
from inquiry to final gallery.
01
consult
We talk through the day you're planning: the venue, the timeline, the people you need photographed.
02
create
On the day I stay close, work quietly, and photograph what actually happens.
03
deliver
A complete, hand-edited gallery, with prints and albums when you want them on your walls.
04 · Our approach
most of the best photographs happen between the planned ones.
I work calmly and pay attention. Four hundred weddings since 2009 taught me where to stand and when to wait. You won't be posed into someone else's wedding. You'll be photographed in yours.
