"She was absolutely amazing to work with...

Eva was our photographer for both our engagement photos and wedding. She was absolutely amazing to work with, very easy going and flexible! She is extremely organized and professional and will make your photography experience a breeze. Anytime we met with her she was prepared and could answer any questions we had, photography or otherwise! My husband and I could not recommend Eva enough :) "

- RYLIE & AARON

An emotion- focused approach

Whether it's your wedding day, a senior session, a family session, or another milestone, my passion lies in helping you remember who you and your people are now so you can look back and remember not just what they looked like, but who they were at that time. This is a lot of what inspires me, and what inspires me to follow the emotion around us as it happens - the grins, tears, and in between- both on your wedding day and on more ordinary days.

About

a man hugging his wife from behind at golden hour in front of a lake

I’m Eva, and am based in Polk City, Iowa, a northern suburb of Des Moines. I live here with my wonderful husband, Daniel, and we enjoy running and going on long walks together. We live in town, but someday, I’d love to have more land and a few ducks and goats!

​​

I got my start in photography in 2022 and went full-time at the end of 2023. Since then, I've had the honor of capturing more than 250 couples, families, weddings, seniors, and events. It’s been the most rewarding work I’ve ever done.

​

I can't put into words how grateful I am for the wonderful people I've had the priveledge of working with. To my past clients: THANK YOU for allowing me to have my dream job! To my future clients: I can't wait to work with you! If you have any ideas or questions, I'd love to hear from you- feel free to call, text, or email me anytime!
