welcome,

friend!

HIYA! I AM MARA! WELCOME TO MY LIL PIECE OF THE INTERNET.

I hope with your time here you laugh a little, are inspired, encouraged and reminded of who you are.. Storytelling is important, but what's most important is who you are and why the story matters in the first place. That's why I'm here, to be your encourager and picture taker of all the stories that matter most to YOU!

Iowa/Midwest wedding and lifestyle photographer. For those seeking to be seen, reminded of their worth & loved for being simply being them.

 
 
 
 
Oh goodness, how do I even start about our experience? Mara made our whole wedding experience a dream. I sought her out because of her desire to shout the worth of all people, regardless of ability – a passion that I hold in my heart as well. Our engagement pictures were a blast – this was the first time my husband actually enjoyed taking pictures!...
