Here’s your proof that spring is such a special time for photos 🌸

Soft light, fresh blooms, pops of color scattered all around. It’s the kind of backdrop that makes everything feel a little more alive.

Calling all those last minute gift givers still looking for the perfect gift for mom 📣📣📣

I'm so excited to be offering Mothers Day gift cards this year! There is nothing more precious you can give to a mom than photos of her babies with her in them. The little arms wrapped around her neck, the way they look at her, the love she pours into them every single day--those are the moments that deserve to be remembered too 🎞

This is your chance to give her something she'll truly treasure for years to come. Here are the details:

-45 minute session located in Ames
-Full album returned via online gallery within 12 weeks
-Once you sign the contract, you will receive your digital gift card via email. Session needs to be redeemed in 2026.
-Cost: $300 + tax ($150 off normal pricing)
-Only 5 spots available

Message me to reserve your gift card!

Want to know my hot take as your family photographer?

The magic isn’t in the perfect poses, perfect outfits, or perfect smiles. Sure, those things can add to the photos. But the real thing that makes the difference? The connection. The laughter. The love. The kind you can FEEL. The kind that doesn’t go out of style decades later.

That’s the kind of magic worth holding onto 🎞️

Hattie turns 1 ✨🫶🏻🎞️

I am slowly getting back to work and so excited to share all of the photo sessions I’ve had lately! Starting off with this one of sweet Hattie at .studio

I’ve had the privilege of capturing so many exciting moments in Taylor and Leo’s life! Engagement photos, wedding photos, newborn photos, and now their girl turning ONE! What a joy it is to call this my job 🫶🏻

Sweet baby girl, we simply cannot wait to meet you. We love you SO much already 🎀

You’ve got a daddy who will always protect you, a mama who will always love you, a sister who will be your best friend, and a crazy golden retriever brother who will probably be the first to make you laugh 🫶🏻

I cannot believe I get to be a mama to two so soon. Baby girl…if you ever come across this, just know mom was living her dream being home with you and your big sis. What a blessing and a privilege. Thank you Jesus 💛

What an incredible day spent with these two and their family & friends 🎞🫶

Just a few of my favorite parts: Nate & Corin's private vows to each other, the way Corin held back tears during the ceremony, the level of FUN this wedding party had together, and that small town kindness I felt from everyone the second I met them. I am so thankful I got to be a part of this day!

Congratulations to the Rannigers!!! 🎉
