Iowa City Family Photographer
I’m a lifestyle and documentary family photographer based in Iowa City, Iowa—though I’m always up for packing a bag and heading wherever your story takes us. I photograph families who care more about real connection than perfect poses. The wild hair, the belly laughs, the quiet in-between moments—that’s the good stuff, and that’s what I’m here for. If you’re looking for photos that feel like you, you’re in the right place.
Wondering what this could look like for your family?

Now Booking: Lavendar Farm Sessions
There’s something about a lavender field in full bloom that just screams peaceful. The warm light, vibrant shades of purple, and a fragrance so calming that it makes you pause and breathe a little deeper. It’s the kind of place that makes even the busiest families slow down and just be present.
This summer, I’m offering a limited number of mini sessions at a Calyx Creek Lavender Field & Lodging just outside of Iowa City. It’s hands down one of my favorite places to shoot in. If you’ve been thinking about updating family photos, want a unique backdrop for maternity portraits, or just want a reason to get in front of the camera, you won’t want to miss this opportunity. Mini sessions will take place on June 20th and 21st, 2025.
