Your Friendly, Neighborhood, Portrait Photographer

Serving Central and Eastern Iowa

Hi, Im AJ!

I am the Do-It-All Des Moines Photographer!

I have been carrying a camera with me for 15 years, and I continue to find so much fulfillment chasing moments both big and small. I love helping families, couples, and high school seniors capture the milestones and memories that matter most. I find it a privilege to share in these precious and fleeting moments with you.

I find so much inspiration by looking the natural wonders around us. My perfect time is a clear night spent under the stars, or hiking to a remote location - always with a camera in hand. Landscape photography was my first love, and I am always chasing images that capture that same sense of wonder.

I also offer real estate photography and videography for the greater Des Moines area. Whether you are listing a home, acreage, or commercial property, I’m your man. I am always ready to showcase your property at its best.

I’m frequently sarcastic, occasionally funny, and chronically 10 minutes early. If you want to laugh, capture important moments, and hear all about my dog, book a session.
