It's more than just a photo for your wall...

What your kids see on the wall becomes part of who they are. This isn't about photos. It's about identity.

Research shows that when kids regularly see images of themselves displayed at home, it reinforces confidence, belonging, and self-worth. It’s a quiet message that says: You matter here.

These portraits aren’t meant to live on a hard drive.
They’re meant to live on your walls where they can do their job.

I photograph kids and families from Iowa City and Eastern Iowa

who know this stage goes fast. No pressure. No forced smiles. Just real, confident portraits designed to capture unique personalities and family dynamics.

I specifically enjoy photographing kids between the ages of 5 and 14. These are the years when confidence is forming, personalities are exploding, and the way they see themselves starts to stick.

Photographing kids now means preserving who they are before everything shifts. Before voices change. Before independence kicks in. Before this version quietly disappears.

You don’t need a milestone to justify it.
