Meet Me

Hi, I’m Alaina — photographer, wife, mom of two, and your go-to calm presence behind the camera here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and the surrounding area.

I specialize in senior, family, newborn, and milestone photography, capturing seasons of life that feel big while still honoring the quiet, meaningful in-between moments. My style leans natural and elevated, with warm tones and rich contrast that keep your photos timeless but full of life.

If being in front of a camera makes you nervous, you’re in the right place. I’m not the loud, in-your-face hype girl — I’m more the steady, encouraging voice who helps you relax, laugh naturally, and forget the camera is even there. Clients often tell me sessions feel easy, unhurried, and surprisingly fun. Bring a playlist you love, and I’ll bring the speaker.

When I’m not photographing beautiful humans, you’ll find me soaking up mom life, spending time with my family and friends, getting outside whenever I can, and dreaming about the mountains and camping trips. My faith, my people, and finding beauty in the everyday are what keep me grounded — and they shape the way I see and serve the families I photograph.

I’m big on intention, the little details, and making sure you feel truly cared for throughout the entire experience. From planning your session to delivering your gallery, my goal is simple: photos that feel like you, and an experience that feels easy.

I can’t wait to give you an experience you'll love. 🤍
