This isn't just about photos for me
About Alex
Photographer, mom of three girls (baby 4 on the way!), lover of exploring tiny towns & local shops, all things thrifted, coffee, and stories that feel deeply connected and sentimental.
Based in NE Iowa, I photograph weddings throughout the midwest in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and beyond.
I’ve always been drawn to the in-between moments, the ones that no one notices them while they’re happening but end up meaning everything later. That’s what shaped the way I photograph. Not overly posed. Not performative. Just honest moments documented beautifully as they naturally unfold.
I'm here to help you feel comfortable enough to actually enjoy your day while I capture it in a way that still feels true decades from now.
And the thing that lights me up most?
When people go outside the box. Whether it's a temporary tattoo bar on your wedding day with the most iconic colors and patterns or doing something that feels insanely "you" for your session. The more out there, the better and you can count me in.
Also known as "Cutesy girl" to those on instagram and tiktok

The experience is intentionally calm, collaborative, and lightly guided.
I’ll step in when needed, help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and quietly document the moments naturally unfolding around you.
Nothing forced.
Nothing overly performative.
Just photos that feel honest, emotional, and true to your day.
My approach
Long after the flowers are gone and the timeline becomes a blur, what lasts are the moments that felt the most like you. The way your partner looked at you when nobody else noticed. Your mom helping you into your dress with tears in her eyes. The deep breath before walking down the aisle. Your friends screaming the lyrics on the dance floor.
The quiet in-between moments you didn’t realize you’d miss someday.
That’s the heart behind the way I photograph weddings.
Not overly posed. Not rushed. Not performative.
Just honest, emotional documentation of one of the most meaningful days of your life, preserved in a way that still feels real decades from now. Because your wedding photos shouldn’t just show you how everything looked. They should bring you back to how it all felt.
You’re here because you want more than just photos, you want images that resonate with the emotions and memories you'll hold onto forever and share with future generations to come.
Your love story, your legacy
Alex is AMAZING, and I can not speak highly enough about her! From the planning before the wedding to the day of, Alex is a quick responder and made our day run so smooth! She captured our day beautifully and intentionally and the photos are something we will cherish forever. We are so thankful she was apart of our day, thank you for making it so special!
"Alex captured our day beautifully and intentionally"
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:)

Photos you take with Alex aren’t just photos, they are an experience. The lasting memories I will have looking at these photos of my children are priceless. I would recommend her 100x over and over!
