Bold. Modern. YOU.

Editorial-style senior photographer based in Iowa City and serving Cedar Rapids, the Quad Cities, Des Moines, and beyond.

No stiff smiles or cookie-cutter poses. Just bold, authentic images that capture your personality and confidence. Because your senior year deserves more than a selfie...it deserves to be remembered.

The JE Experience

Your senior session should feel like you: fun, effortless, and full of personality.

From our first chat to your final gallery reveal, I make every step easy and exciting. Before your session, I’ll help plan outfits, locations, and the overall vibe so everything reflects your style. On shoot day, you can relax and just show up as yourself. I’ll guide you through every pose, prompt, and moment so you look and feel confident in every shot.

My photographic style mixes bold editorial edge with real emotion. Think magazine-worthy portraits with genuine energy that emulates exactly who you are.

Before Your Session

This is where the magic starts. You’ll get my best styling tips, outfit guidance, and a prep guide delivered right to your inbox that takes out all the guesswork. We’ll chat about your vision, your vibe, and what makes you stand out at your styling consultation. I ask you all kinds of questions so I can curate the senior photo session to match your vibe. I will match your outfits to the perfect locations and might even scout brand new locations just for you!

 

During the Shoot

No awkward posing here. I’ll walk you through every movement and expression so you never have to wonder what to do. We’ll chase great light, explore killer locations, and make sure you look and feel confident from start to finish. Expect real laughs, hype moments, and photos that look straight out of an editorial spread.

During your session I'll be snagging BTS clips to create your iconic behind-the-scenes Reel that will get posted within a couple days of your session. At the end we will set a time to get together at the studio for your View and Order appointment, usually about two weeks after the shoot.

I share tons of behind-the-scenes moments, sneak peeks, and senior inspo over on Instagram so if you’re not already following now’s the time. Parents, it’s the best way to see how much fun your senior will have (and why they’ll walk away feeling like a total rock star).
