DES MOINES AND DUBUQUE, IA WEDDING AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

HI! I'M MOLLY, AND I PHOTOGRAPH THE BEAUTY OF

marriage and motherhood

I'm passionate about strong marriages and joyful motherhood. I'm certainly not perfect at being a wife or a mother myself, but I know that both marriage and motherhood are worth our best efforts. I'm here to encourage you and cheer you on in your journey as wife and/or mother!

MARRIAGE

We love weddings - there's nothing quite like them! The joy, the anticipation, the excitement, the love. We also love marriage. Having your best friend through all of life's ups and downs is the best thing ever! If you're looking to start your family or celebrating years of life together, we would love to serve you as you begin or continue your beautiful journey side by side.

MOTHERHOOD

Motherhood is hard. But it's also incredibly sweet. Somehow even the hardest days are swallowed up in overwhelming love when we catch a glimpse of our kids fast asleep, or when we pull out our phone to look at photos of them once they're (hopefully) in bed for the night. I'd love to capture the joy of motherhood for you - the love that you have for your child and that they have for you - and to give you a few more photos to scroll through at night.

Why we think you'll love working with us...

Whether you're working with both Molly and Nick on your wedding day or just Molly for a portrait session, we make sessions relaxed, fun, and easy. We know being in front of a camera can feel awkward (we feel that way too!), so we make sure you never have to guess whether you're doing something right or not. No awkward hands here! We've been told countless times from clients before a session that they don't enjoy taking photos... only to be told afterwards that they actually had FUN! But don't take our word for it...

"Molly is seriously the best. She makes the whole experience, from start to finish, so easy on everyone. Most of the time when getting photos taken we feel awkward or camera shy, but Molly is so upbeat and relaxed behind her camera that we had the most fun ever while taking photos." - Taylor E.
