Get to know Grace
I am a Christ-follower, wife to my better half— Josh and a boy mom. In this season, you will find me chasing around my babies, trying new recipes for lunch, and getting 4 hours of sleep at night.
In my free time, I will sneak away to thrift for a few minutes, go for a peaceful nature walk or snuggled up in the evenings with a good book and somehow stay up until 1 am because I can’t put it down.
Even with littles, I am always dreaming & planning my family’s next adventure and taking every chance I get to be outside and explore with my family.

Inquire with Grace
5 years in and I still get little goosebumps every time I show up to a wedding day. Capturing love stories simply fills my cup. Now, I focus so much of my attention on serving my couples well, crafting an experience where my client's vision is captured uniquely to them.
2025
I graduated college and my husband and I decided to pour everything into photography to see where it would go. I had a lofty goal of booking 15 weddings… before I knew it I had 21 booked for the year. It was a wild year of growth and discovery.
2021
In the pandemic, I threw together a portfolio and website, telling my 500 Instagram friends I was a "photographer." I began with graduation portraits, then moved to couples, and shot my first wedding that fall. I was hooked after that.
2020
I took a photo-journalism class and was hooked. I discovered the world of storytelling through images rather than words. I was featured in the Daily Nebraskan Newspaper and other Nebraska papers. Most of my work started out as news & sports coverage.
2019
How did I get here?
I picked up my first camera.
Started my business when the world shut down.
Graduated College & Went Full-time with photography.
5 years as a photographer & it's the best job.
One of my photos was featured ON THE COVER of the Nebraska Wedding Day Magazine. The biggest honor of my career up to that point. I shot 32 weddings in 2022. Two of those weddings were destination weddings in Colorado and Mexico. It was a year full of success.

"She blew my expectations out of the park and captured every little moment and detail perfectly. I take every chance to show people my wedding photos because I am THAT obsessed with them. They are elegant, timeless, emotional and tell the story of our wedding day all in one."
