Real moments. Real people. No stiff poses, no awkward directions. Just your story, told exactly the way you lived it.
I want to capture what makes you feel most alive. Not the posed, perfect, fairytale version of life. Something simpler and way better.
I'm based in Waukee, Iowa with my husband Joe and our three kids. My photos aren't meant to show you how you looked. They're meant to show you how you felt. Think of them as a time machine back to the butterflies, the happy tears, the goosebumps.
And the name? Rush Street is the street I grew up on. It makes me feel nostalgic every time I say it, which is exactly how I want you to feel when you look at your photos.

Weddings get the spotlight, but the everyday stuff: the chaos, the closeness, the way your kids' eyes look in golden hour. That stuff deserves to be documented too. Low-pressure, location-scouted, and full of real moments.
Sessions start at $250. Includes an online gallery, full print rights, and location scouting. No stiff poses, no instructions to say cheese.
