My love for photography started when I was a kid... borrowing my dad's cameras (sometimes giving them back), and flipping through photo albums at home, noticing how much feeling lived inside those pages. The stories behind each photo. The way they could bring a moment rushing back.
Preserving those memories and keeping them alive became everything to me!
I carry that mindset with me every time I pick up my camera. I'm here to create a calm, comfortable space where you can be truly yourself. To see you for who you really are, take the pressure off, and capture photos that make you feel something. Photos that take you right back to those moments.
Because when you feel cared for, the rest unfolds naturally!
And I care deeply about being present in your moments — for you, with you.
I'm an iowa-based photographer documenting weddings, families, and the moments that matter most.
They happen in the middle of real life — laughing with your people, squeezing their hand a little tighter, catching someone you love looking at you like that...
Moments like these were never meant to be rushed or performed. They’re meant to be lived fully, the way you’ll remember them years from now.
When everything feels easy and comfortable, you stop thinking about the camera and start being fully present in the moment. That’s what I’m here for.
So you can slow down, stay present, and remember how it FELT.

The most moments usually happen when you’re not thinking about the camera at alL.
"She made us feel so comfortable, like we’d known her for years. She made the entire experience feel like a fairytale!! And the photos were unlike anything we’ve ever seen. Nothing compares to Sophie and her work!"
- Kennady + Mason
"I didn’t feel like we were posing for photos — I felt like we were on a fun date night. Sophie is fun, calm, and gave guidance while still letting us be US. Truly one of the best experiences I’ve had!"
- Emily + Cooper
"Sophie’s commitment to making everyone feel comfortable is what drew us to her — and she absolutely delivered. Our photos turned out so put together and yet so US. She truly captured the essence of who we are. When you work with Sophie, you genuinely feel like her favorite client."
- Kirsten + Isaac
"Sophie was a calming presence throughout our entire wedding day. She wasn’t just our photographer — she was a partner and friend throughout the entire process. She understood exactly what we wanted and how to execute it. Sophie was truly the one part of our wedding we didn’t have to stress about!"
- Kyli + Ian
