hiya friends, jaime here! I'm a lifestyle, portrait & travel photographer and Squarespace web designer in the Des Moines, Iowa area. i specialize in the creation of timeless maternity, newborn, baby, child, senior & family portraits with a documentary or lifestyle style approach; i strive to capture authenticity of the everyday and beauty in the mundane. sessions can take place at your home or on-location.

i may offer advice on wardrobe and offer posing suggestions here and there, but sessions are meant to be simple, relaxed, & fun. wear what reflects your style and personality and i'll help you to pose yourselves naturally. my number one goal is for you to be comfortable and to be YOU. i will laugh with you, cry with you, chat with you, and maybe even hug you -- together we will create an atmosphere that will encourage genuine moments, raw emotion, natural expressions, smiles, laughter, and silly’s. if a temper tantrum should arise, as they sometimes do, don’t worry about it -- those are just as much a part of life and childhood as everything else -- i'm sure you'll want to remember those beautifully trying moments as well.

i also specialize in Squarespace web design and am proud to be a Squarespace Circle Member, which allows me to provide my clients with top-notch service, expertise, and perks! i would LOVE to work with YOU!

when i'm not photographing the crazy-beautiful-every-day-glory-YOU-call-LIFE for families across central iowa, you can probably find me goofing around with my littles, hiking up in ledges state park, slooooooowly sipping an unsweetened black iced tea, or traveling across the country with my littles. we love to explore new places together, and there is no place is too far!
