Kalyn & Jackson | Des Moines, Iowa Wedding
Jackson and Kalyn's wedding was such a joy-filled day that included many personalized baseball-themed touches! These two had their first look at Barton Field in Urbandale, a baseball field named after Jackson's dad. Their ceremony took place on the green at Principal Park; Kalyn's sister and Jackson's grandfather stood with them in support. I loved all the classy red, white, and blue details and getting to capture everything in photos! Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Barton!

Here's a short little look of my engagement session with Kalyn and Jackson! These two are getting married in about a week and I'm so happy we squeezed in an engagement session beforehand.
Enjoy!
Will & Chelsie | Des Moines, Iowa Portrait Photographer
Will and Chelsie celebrated their one year anniversary this July, just a few weeks before Skyller and I celebrated ours.
We laughed about how we weren't at each others' weddings last year. We feel close now but we didn't all really get to know each other until last fall when our connection group got started. The four of us were all newlyweds. After a year of digging into Scripture together, talking through various life events, trials, and sins, and just walking through life in general together, we grew a really cool friendship! Will and Chelsie lead the group along with another amazing couple and we're so thankful for all they do.
Enjoy these photos celebrating their year anniversary!
Erskine Family | Des Moines, Iowa Family Photographer
Spending time with this family is seriously always a joy. If you know Bailey, Walker, and Eloise, you know that too :) Bailey and I met in college and were honestly quite slow to friendship. God had something much deeper planned for us though because I met my husband, Walker's cousin, at Bailey and Walker's wedding. These two model graceful and humble parenting to us daily and Skyller and I have loved getting to watch Eloise grow up. An incredibly energetic little girl, photographing little Lou is always an adventure! I think some of these candids capture her quite well-- enjoy!
Kelsey & Tanner | Engaged
There's something special about photographing someone you've known basically your whole life. My cousin Kelsey and I go way back (obviously) and I have so many fun memories of our time together growing up. Her and Tanner's story is adorable-- it involves a meet-cute in high school and then an actual meeting at band camp at SDSU. I don't remember the first time I was able to meet Tanner, but I had always noticed how "meant to be" these two seemed. That came through when they fit together effortlessly in front of the camera for their engagement session.
We took these photos on my aunt and uncle's acreage and we couldn't have had a more beautiful, personalized backdrop for these photos. Enjoy a few of my favorites from Kelsey and Tanner's engagement session.
