Engagements

Downtown Des Moines Engagement Session - Bailey & Aaron

Downtown Des Moines Engagement Session - Bailey & Aaron

I will never get tired of exploring downtown Des Moines with my couples. Bailey and Aaron requested downtown views for their engagement session so we started at the Women’s Achievement Bridge and ended outside the State Historical Building.

Johnston Engagement Session - Amanda & Zane

Johnston Engagement Session - Amanda & Zane

Zane and Amanda told me they were simple, easy going and wanted an engagement session that reflected that. We spent the sunset together walking, talking and exploring a local park. Nature sessions are my sweet spot, so I’m always excited when a couple wants nature focus for their session.

Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden Engagement - Anna & Coleman

Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden Engagement - Anna & Coleman

Anna and Coleman reached about wanting an engagement session before they eloped in Colorado. Anna knew right away she wanted their session at the Des Moines Botanical Garden, which I’m always excited to photograph at! These two had such a sweet, gentle energy and I loved photographing it for them. I love the botanical garden because every time I go I seem to discover a new corner to fall in love with.

Iowa Country Winter Engagement Session - Taylor & Collin

Iowa Country Winter Engagement Session - Taylor & Collin

With Taylor and Collin’s wedding day less than a week away, it’s the perfect time to share more of their wintery engagement session. We started their session with their dog Maverick. I love when couples want to get a few photos with their pets and always recommend doing these photos during the first 15 minutes or last 15 minutes. After spending some exploring in the woods, we went to an open spot in the country that had the most beautiful views of the valley 😍I’m so excited to photograph these two again at The Hidden Acre in Waverly Iowa this Saturday with all their family and friends!

Danielle and Jake Greater Des Moines Botanical Gardens Engagement

Danielle, Jake, and I all went to UNI together just a year apart and actually majored in the same thing: Graphic Design. It was so fun to reconnect and swap stories about shared experiences and professors. We started our time at the Botanical Gardens.
