Iowa wedding and portrait photographer, girl mom, and the person who will make you feel completely at ease in front of a camera, whether it's your wedding day or a Tuesday afternoon in a field.

I'm not here to pose you into something you're not. I'm here to capture the way you actually looked at each other, the details you spent months obsessing over, and the moments that happened between the moments, because those are the ones you'll want to relive forever.

Warm. Real. A little cutesy. Exactly right.

about me

You Deserve a Photographer Who Makes You Feel Like Yourself

✓ You'll never feel awkward in front of the camera. No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just prompts and movement that make you forget I'm there — and photos that look exactly like you actually feel.

✓ You'll feel completely taken care of. From the moment you inquire to the moment your gallery lands in your inbox I handle everything, the timeline, the location, the guidance, all of it. You just show up and be you.

 You'll have your sneak peek within 48 hours. Because waiting is the worst and you deserve to relive your favorite moments as fast as possible.

✓ You'll work with someone who actually gets people. 8 years. Hundreds of families, couples, and wedding days. I know how to read a room, work with wild toddlers, nervous grooms, and everything in between.

 You'll walk away with photos that actually look like your life. Not a Pinterest board. Not someone else's aesthetic. Warm, real, completely yours.

"Alex photographed our wedding and we could not be happier with how the photos turned out! Right when we met Alex, we felt comfortable in front of a camera. She was literally a fly on the wall during our wedding day and caught every single special moment on camera. I love that she focuses on capturing the little moments rather than posed photos. We’re able to relive our special day for the rest of our lives now, and for that, we are eternally grateful to Alex:)"
