capturing marriage & motherhood
and the stories in each season
CENTRAL IOWA WEDDING AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER
Honor the legacy of your love
Preserve the memories of your journey
Tell the stories of your life
Your life is worth being documented - all the beauty and chaos that is yours. You're building a legacy, after all, and it deserves to be honored.
I capture the joy and beauty in the here and now to help preserve the best memories. Life is full of both joys and struggles, and I believe focusing on the joys is worthwhile.
Photographs help tell stories for generations to come. They help bring history to life. Your story is worth telling to your children, your grandchildren, and their children and grandchildren.
Let's honor your legacy, preserve your memories, and tell your story through photography.
Testimonial
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.

For the romantics who seek to find beauty in the everyday moments of life.
HI! I'M MOLLY, AND I PHOTOGRAPH THE BEAUTY OF
marriage and motherhood
I'm a wife and a mom to 4 young kids. I'm a hopeless romantic and a dreamer.
I'm acutely aware of how fast my kids are growing and yet still often struggle to make the most of my time with them.
Looking at past photos of my husband and me and our kids reminds me of the sweet times we've had, and it encourages me to treasure the present. I'm so grateful for photos!

MARRIAGE
Engagements and weddings hold a special place in my heart. The joy, the anticipation, the excitement of a new journey - it's such a beautiful experience. Even more, I love marriage itself. Having your best friend through all of life's ups and downs is the best thing ever! Whether you're starting a family through marriage or celebrating years of life together, I would be honored to serve you as you begin or continue your beautiful journey side by side.

MOTHERHOOD
"The days are long but the years are short." I don't think a truer word about motherhood has ever been spoken. In the thick of the little years (as I'm still in myself), some days can honestly be exhausting. But when I photograph a senior I know that time is marching on, and my turn to have a senior will be all too soon.
I'd love to freeze just a little moment of time for you in a photograph.

stories
I might be a good fit if you want a photographer who...
...balances a calm presence with encouraging direction. Someone able to find the sweet, beautiful moments amid the chaos of a wedding day or the chaos of young kids. Someone who trusts the process enough to reassure you wedding days always get behind somehow and it's going to be okay... or to let kids be kids while giving gentle direction. Someone who is known for capturing a person's true smile... from camera shy grooms, from kids who try a little too hard to "cheese", and from senior boys who are only taking photos for their mom.
