On Social Media I photograph strangers in Iowa City because it reminds me what it means to be human.

What started as a simple idea — walking up to someone unfamiliar, listening, and taking their photo — has shaped everything about how I see people and tell stories. It’s never been about perfect light or poses. It’s about connection, trust, and noticing what’s real. That project became the foundation of how I approach every shoot — especially weddings. It taught me how to make people feel comfortable, how to read emotion, and how to capture moments that feel alive.

I share those stories online as a passion project, but this website is where I focus on my craft — working with couples, families, and brands who value authenticity. So if you’re looking for a Midwest or Iowa City wedding photographer who leads with connection first, I’d love to tell your story.
