Hello 

Hello, I'm Tia! 


I’m the short asian gal who is likely carrying a stool with a McDonalds Diet Coke in sight. I am more than just taking a good photo. I want to create a friendship & be your personal hype girl.

I love to laugh & tease my couples & families. I’m a little bit of a tom boy as I have a love for gaming, football & Marvel. But have no fear, I know how to belt out some Lizzo & Bruno, turn up some dance moves and I live in dresses.

I know how awkward photos can be. I’m here to help you feel your best. Past clients can vouch that their sessions are fun and (relatively) painless. But in all seriousness, I appreciate you checking out my site and hope you choose to invest in me, my photos & friendship.

Quick Facts

Photography is actually my side gig. I work as a social worker in Des Moines by day.

I was adopted when I was one and proud of it! 

I will always choose people over profit  and queso over salsa.

I am a cancer warrior currently in remission! Open to sharing my experience.

IF I HAD TO DESCRIBE THIS BUSINESS IN THREE WORDS, THEY WOULD BE GENIUNE, FUN AND AUTHENTIC.

The Benningtons

Tia just photographed our wedding and she was absolutely amazing! She was great at communicating with us and so organized. She is outgoing and so much fun to be around. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to capture the memories from our day!
