I'm Shelby, the girl behind the camera. I'm a wedding, family, couples, and senior photographer based in the midwest + beyond. Born and raised a Husker in small town Nebraska but currently residing in Iowa. After years of thinking about pursuing photography I finally took the leap into making my dream and passion a reality, and man do I love it! Photography aside, I am a big family person. I absolutely love spending time with my husband, my family and my husbands family.

My name is Gabrielle but I go by Gabby. Middle name, Grayce, with a “y”. I grew up with a disposable camera constantly in hand and when I got my first digital camera, it was filled with photos of blades of grass and flowers. I married my best friend in 2019 on a cold April day in Iowa. It was 36 degrees and sleeting….and the ceremony was outdoors. It’s Iowa, what did we expect? We recently added a new tiny human to our family, Asher Grae. He’s the sweetest little buddy and we can’t imagine what life would be without him. I started photography as a hobby but have found so much passion in documenting the lives of the most amazing couples.

I'm Alissa. a 21 year old wedding photographer whose planted her roots in the midwest, the coziest place in the states. I always wanted to be an art teacher, something that would let me express my creativity everyday, went to college to be just that.. yeah didn’t work out. it wasn’t enough, i knew it wasn’t for me so randomly, i considered photography. never picked up a camera in my life but suddenly had a firey passion to be a photographer? unheard of. my mom was like alissa, you’re out of your mind. she probably grew some grey hair from my sudden choice to switch my major.

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee). Based in Iowa, I serve the Midwest, Western NC, Denver, and beyond. With nearly a decade of experience in the wedding industry, and well over 100 weddings photographed, it still surprises me how my love for this industry grows each year. This work is not about me, it's about the individuals in front of my lens. I can’t tell an honest story if I’m constantly interfering, directing, and manipulating moments. I want your photos to render cherished memories from your day with your people, not memories of your photographer. I’m there to tell the beautiful and imperfect story as it unfolds.

✨WHY✨ I’m a professional photographer is because I believe that your life has PURPOSE. and a story to be captured & remembered. Life is short, and memories fade… but a photo can last for lifetimes. So, let’s hang out and eat pizza on rooftops or dance on a country road in the headlights! I want to help you make & capture memories of your unique & beautiful life, and slow down for a few minutes to enjoy the moments we're living in NOW! When I'm not working, I love a good book, chasing sunsets on beaches, skiing in the mountains, or watching Parks & Rec for the 8th time! Please email me via my website contact form to connect! ☼ ☼ ☼

Hello friends! I am a photographer and graphic designer based out of Des Moines, Iowa. I have been shooting since I was 16 years old. After high school, I decided to continue to grow my passion at Grand View University where I received a BA in Photography and Graphic Design in 2018. In March 2020, I decided to expand my business to focus more on weddings, families, and seniors. I love connecting with my clients and photographing them in their most natural state. During the day when a camera is not in my hand, you will be able to find me hanging out at home with my lovely husband, Matt, and hyperactive Dalmatian pups, Winnie and Finn. ​

I started photography as a hobby and my passion for it grew from there until I was absolutely absorbed into the world of capturing pictures that make moments in time stand still. I studied all sides of photography through countless hours of classes, mentors, hands on experience, and I work to continuously improve my own craft.
