Frolicking Through the Loess Hills with Delaney + Natalie | Iowa Portrait Session
When your college bestie reaches out for a photo session with her cousin, you know it’s going to be something special.
Delaney and Natalie met me out at the stunning Hitchcock Nature Center in the Loess Hills of Iowa—a location that never disappoints. Even though the skies were gray and the bugs were determined, we leaned into the moody, earthy vibes of the day and made magic happen.
These two were so much fun to work with. We wandered through tall grass, found hidden trails, and laughed way too hard trying to avoid mosquito ambushes. The clouds created the dreamiest soft light, and the rolling hills made the perfect backdrop for their joyful energy and sweet connection.
This session was the perfect mix of laid-back, adventurous, and heartfelt—basically everything I love about photographing people who trust me to capture them just as they are.
Scroll down for some of my favorite moments from this cozy, carefree session in the Loess Hills.
Litzey
✨ Senior Spotlight: Litzey – Millard West Class of 2025 ✨
Say hello to Litzey, a rockstar senior from Millard West’s Class of 2025! 🎓
Litzey is the kind of girl who does it all—student athlete, cross country state runner-up, and total creative soul. Her session was packed with personality and style, and I loved every second of capturing it!
We kicked things off downtown where she showed off her edgy side—posing like a total natural on top of a rooftop parking garage, next to a sleek black car, and rocking her shades. Talk about senior session goals. 😎 The city skyline made the perfect backdrop for her confidence and cool vibe.
Then we traded the city for nature and headed to Chalco Hills just in time for golden hour. The warm light, soft breeze, and peaceful setting were the perfect way to end the evening. From urban boldness to nature’s calm, this session showed the many sides of who Litzey is—and I’m so honored I got to document this chapter of her life.
Congratulations, Litzey! I can’t wait to see what amazing things you do next.

🌿 Golden Hour Magic with Hannah & Colton | Pioneers Park Engagement 🌿
This one is extra special to me. ✨
Hannah has been my best friend since grade school. Watching her grow with Colton, her high school sweetheart (they met senior year!), has been such a joy.
These two got engaged on the beach in sunny Florida (can we talk about dreamy?!) and I was lucky enough to capture their engagement session back home at Pioneers Park in Lincoln. The weather had us guessing all day—clouds loomed, and we weren’t sure if the light would show. But right when we needed it… golden hour appeared, wrapping them in the most magical glow. ✨
The session was full of laughter, soft kisses, and golden warmth. You can feel how much these two truly love each other in every photo. It was an honor to be behind the camera for such a meaningful moment for one of my favorite people.
Hannah & Colton, your story is just beginning—and it’s already so beautiful. 🤍
