MEET THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi!! I’m Chloe! A photographer based in Ankeny, Iowa, with the joy of traveling around the Midwest to capture life right in the middle of your everyday moments.

In 2022, I turned my love for creativity into something of my own with the start of my photography business. What began as simple outlet for my creative energy has grown into something far more special than I ever could have imagined. I’ve found so much joy in connecting with families and clients in every stage of life, being right beside you for big moments and cheering you on through each season. Preserving every bit of this stage, in this very moment, is the heart of what I love to do.

There is something special about the unscripted parts of life. Whether it’s a toddler reaching for mom’s hand, a new baby being held close, or the business owner doing what they love, I’m always looking for connection. The quiet moments, the laughter, and the little quirks that make each story its own. These are the pieces that tell your story through images that feel like you not just today, but years from now.

A few other things you should know about me? I’m married to Paden, and we are right in the middle of a life that is full in all of the best ways.

Photography flows into my daily life in so many ways. On the days I’m creating content for small businesses I love so much, our son Archer is right there with me. The rest of our time is spent at home soaking up each season together, embracing the busy moments, and working in between all of the things that come with being a stay at home mom.
