Time capsule sessions
Serving Cedar rapids, iowa city, des moines, ankeny, cedar falls, waterloo, ames & everywhere in between!
honest photos of childhood
You won't remember your kids childhood dressed in clothing you never wear in a random field at sunset.
But, you will remember their childhood in the activities you do daily.
Those quiet moments feeding your baby & living rooms scattered with toys.
Time capsule sessions give you photos that will transport you right back to your life today.

"Claire is amazing! As our son was getting closer and closer to turning one, I wanted professional family pictures taken but knew I didn't want the traditional posed family portraits. We booked a naptime session with Claire and could not be happier!
Our session was so laid back and relaxed, and Claire made us so comfortable. We were in our home and in our routine, so our son was happy and we got to capture his true personality. We played, did bath time, read books - everything we would normally do before bedtime.
Seeing the pictures made me tear up. Claire captured our family in all the little moments you don't want to forget. I can't say enough good things about our experience. We will definitely be booking future sessions!"

We had an incredible experience with Claire when she came to our home to do a time capsule session. We have a 3 year old and another baby on the way and we are spending so much of our time and building so many memories right here in our home. It felt so special and important to capture these "real life" moments that are so fleeting with this age.
Claire was so warm, and helped everyone feel comfortable and relaxed which really just let our family be ourselves as she grabbed so many beautiful photos. As a mom, these are the real moments I want. My husband reading to my son in the chair we do that in every night, my son playing out in his mud kitchen that he'll outgrow soon, etc. Real life activities are where the memories live.
I would suggest this type of photo shoot to anyone and to encourage them to let go of worrying about having the "perfect house" to be able to capture them. Claire knows how to capture beautiful images regardless of your space and those are what you'll cherish. Thanks Claire!

Rewind to October 2024.
We are all getting ready to head out the door to our yearly photo session, and Griffin quietly asks me,
“Mom, when are we going to do a photo session where I can wear what I want. I don’t feel like me.”
I just remember saying, “This will be the last time. I promise.”
Learn more about me!
