True to the “weird artist” stereotype & devoted to telling your story with creative narrative.
Documentary-Style Photography in Des Moines, Iowa
Capturing life as it happens—raw, authentic, and full of feeling.
I’m a Des Moines, IA photographer with over a decade of experience. My work is rooted in a documentary-style approach that highlights real moments, genuine emotions, and the beauty of everyday life. Whether it’s a wedding, a quiet self-love session, or the chaos of live music, my goal is to create images that tell your story honestly.
Beyond the camera, I’m a daydreamer, a lover of hot sauce, and someone who believes life is weird and beautiful—and it deserves to be remembered that way.

REVIEWS
Melanie - “Britt is amazing! I love her ability to make me feel fabulous while getting great candid shots. I am a comedian and I use her photos of me to promote my upcoming shows. For events and headshots and everything in between, Britt is the best!” (Self-love)
Andrea - “Britt had great location suggestions for our couple’s / engagement pictures! We felt very comfortable and love how laid back they are. Britt was affirming and welcoming of our identities (my partner and I are queer), which is very important for us. Britt was very accommodating and open to what we wanted as far as backgrounds, outfit swaps, etc. Britt really values capturing genuine expressions and moments, and has a flair for unique and experimental photography, too. We received initial photos a few hours later, and our full gallery in a little after a week— super fast turn around! We love our photos and are exited to share them with our loved ones. We can’t wait to have Britt shoot our wedding day next year!” (Wedding)
Madison - “I have been working with Britt for many years now and the skill and creativity she puts into her photos never ceases to amaze me. She always does a fantastic job at making me feel comfortable during the sessions and always seems to capture those perfectly timed candid’s. She is the person to work with if you want unique and inspirational photos that you cant get from anyone else.” (Family portraits)
Fabiola - “Britt makes posing so easy! she is so talented. I love the pictures she took of me and my friends.” (Halloween-themed group shoot)
