Kind words

"We selected Wendy for our daughter’s senior portraits and were completely satisfied. The pre-meeting really answered all of our questions and put us at ease. Her communication and level of detail put into her work is amazing. The entire experience from start to finish was well planned. She's patient and provides many options so we could decide what would work best. There were so many beautiful portraits to choose from! "

Wendy does fabulous work! We absolutely love our family photos; they turned out beautifully. Her creativity, attention to detail, people and technical skills are top notch. From the first consultation to delivery of the final products she was a complete pleasure to work with. She put us at ease, helped us select the perfect location and kept us laughing. We could not believe how fast the time went by. We highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again!”

“Wendy is amazing and makes the whole process easy. I always find it overwhelming to select pictures for print or to put in an album. She has done both of our sons’ senior pictures. She meets with you to help you narrow down your selections and I know I can trust her from there to arrange the album perfectly to tell our story. I highly recommend Wendy - you will not be disappointed!”

Kristyn A., Council Bluffs, Iowa
“Wendy is such a delight to work with, and one of the most flexible, easy-going and yet professional photographers around, and made the process so easy. Even with our young children, she was so patient and adjusted to our needs. She is fun, friendly, and a joy to be around. We will always treasure our photos and I don't ever want to take off of our walls!”

Megan M., Grimes, Iowa
“I started this process not knowing where to start or how to proceed for a senior photo session. Wendy kept us on track and informed for the whole process. My daughter doesn't like having her picture taken and was not an easy, typical senior session. Wendy went above and beyond to make sure my daughter was comfortable and having fun. I was blown away with Wendy and her commitment to my daughter and her photos! She should be your first stop for any photos!”

Robin J., Ankeny, Iowa
“We had a great experience with Wendy. I find family pictures to be very stressful. My kids are always fighting me on what to wear and everyone is mad by the time we get where we are going. Wendy was great reassuring me that this is normal. She got great shots and no one would ever know it was a battle to get them to cooperate. We often get great compliments on the photos we took with her. We highly recommend her!”
