Help me cross these stories off my dream list

Some sessions live rent-free in a photographer’s heart—stories I’ve always dreamed of capturing because they’re intimate, cinematic, and deeply personal.

This bucket list is my way of inviting you into that creative space. For a limited number of sessions each year, I’m offering a special experience rate for clients who book one of the sessions below. In exchange, I get to tell a story I’ve long dreamed of photographing—your love story.

If one of these feels like you, I’d love to hear from you.

Bucket List Experiences

• Couple or Engagement Session at the Iowa State Capitol Building
Timeless architecture, grand staircases, and editorial romance—perfect for classic love stories with a modern edge.

• Intimate In-Home Couple Session (Client Home or Airbnb)
Soft light, lived-in spaces, barefoot moments. These sessions focus on connection, comfort, and authenticity.

• Surprise Proposal Session
Whether subtly hidden or beautifully planned, capturing the raw emotion of a “yes” never gets old.

• Destination Wedding
Mountains, coastlines, cities—if your love story takes you somewhere meaningful, I want to follow.

• Cruise Wedding
A floating celebration, intimate ceremonies, and unforgettable scenery—documented with intention and artistry.

• Spicy Book-Tok Inspired Couple Session
Think dramatic lighting, bold styling, masked mystery, and cinematic tension (Mask-Tok, Bike-Tok vibes welcome). Tasteful, confident, and creatively elevated.

• Boho-Style Lake Session

Dreamy textures, flowing movement, sunset reflections, and laid-back romance by (and IN) the water.

*Stranger Session
A thoughtfully curated portrait session between two individuals who have never met before. Focused on genuine connection, body language, and cinematic tension—these sessions explore vulnerability, presence, and the art of human connection in a safe, respectful environment.

Bucket list sessions receive custom experience pricing and are limited in availability each year. Travel requirements and date flexibility may apply.
