Wedding & Portrait Photography in Iowa

Imagery shaped by light, place, and intention

Timeless, honest, & textural

Des Moines, Iowa & Destinations

For the Romantic

For the quietly romantic—imagery shaped by light, place, and intention. Inspired by the European countryside and the beauty of slow, meaningful moments.

Photography rooted in artistry and atmosphere, serving couples and families across Des Moines, Pella, Knoxville, and Central Iowa. From weddings and engagements to maternity, newborn, senior, and family sessions, each image is thoughtfully composed with an editorial eye and a romantic sensibility.

Inspired by fine art film photography and the quiet beauty of the European countryside, my work is designed to feel timeless—honest, textural, and deeply connected to place.

An intentional approach to photography

This is not about simply capturing a moment—it’s about composing it.

Every session is guided by light, movement, and environment. I approach photography the way an artist approaches a canvas—considering tone, texture, and story. The result is imagery that feels refined, natural, and enduring.

Stephanie did such an awesome job shooting our wedding!

We have a bunch of crazy family and she was great at coordinating and posing us all. Not to mention our venue was not particularly photogenic and she was able to work her magic and make it look beautiful! Love her work and style! Would always recommend working with her!!
