New Website is LIVE!

I have been working on my website for the last 2 days.  My dear, sweet and very, very smart husband had been working on the background server stuff for the 3 days before that and it's finally done!  (almost!)  There are a few tweaks we need to do such as the "Contact" form isn't working right now, but that should be resolved soon.  I am very excited about it!


Go check it out!!

Ichi Bike

I had the extreme pleasure to shoot a local bike shop here in Des Moines.  Ichi Bike specializes in reviving old bikes and making them awesome.  If you are looking for a really sweet and unique ride, go check them out!  

Fleming Construction

I had the privilege once again to do an interior shoot for Fleming Construction.  It was a beautiful renovation of a kitchen, dining room and living room complete with a two-sided fireplace.  Amazing.  Check it out!

Vegas Baby!

Last weekend, my handsome husband and I went to Las Vegas.  This was my very first time going and oh boy was I in for a treat!  So I know people say it all the time... but it really is a 24-hour adult fun park!  We had a wonderful time... gambled a little (lost some), ate great food, saw the Titanic exhibit, watched the fountains, shopped... FUN!  It is certainly not a place to go to relax, but it is OH so much FUN!


I documented our trip with my iPhone.  Here are some of my favorite images taken and edited on my iPhone of our trip!

The first night we were there we went down to the old part of Vegas.  Here is the Fremont Casino.

...and here is Pioneer.

This is a view from our hotel room at Harrah's of Carnival Court.

This is at the newest casino: The Cosmopolitan.  It has a chandelier that cascades down several floors!

Dave and I on the plane headed back home.  :)

A view of Las Vegas from the plane.

Here's a view of what I think is part of the Rockies from the plane.  A little while later we saw the snow-capped mountains, but this was actually my favorite shot.  

Interview with Jill Brown!

I was recently asked to be interviewed by a blog called 50 Picks Daily.  It was pretty exciting.  I haven't been asked to do anything like this before and I have to say - it was a little hard to talk about myself, but a WHOLE LOTTA FUN!  Haha!  Thanks Prema for the opportunity!  


Here's the link to my interview along with 50 samples of my work!

C+A = Engaged!

Christine and Andrew met me at my studio where we started a very awesome and fun engagement session!  We began with studio shots and then headed outside to the snow!  We are very lucky - it was beautiful outside... a little cloudy, snow falling every once in a while and not too cold.  


It was so nice to spend Sunday morning with you, Christine and Andrew!  I am looking forward to your wedding in August!
