Hi, I'm Marci.

I'm a mom of 3 adorable kids who never cease to amaze me! I have a wonderful husband who has supported me and my dreams for over 20 years. I am an award winning photographer with a beautiful studio in Bettendorf Iowa. I have been shooting maternity, newborn, milestone and family photography since 2011.

I started my photography journey in 2011 with a borrowed camera and a dream. My husband used to think I was crazy purchasing $100 worth of knitted hats for newborn sessions. I'll admit I wasn't great when I started, but I loved working with kids and families and was determined to become better.

With over 10 years of experience as a birth doula in the Quad Cities and surrounding areas, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and those tender newborn days. This background has given me a deep understanding of newborns, postpartum recovery, and the challenges that can come with feeding, so you can feel confident your little one is in gentle, experienced hands.

I have since mentored with top photographers from around the world, shot thousands of sessions and worked tirelessly to improve my craft and in July 2021 I finally made my dream come true of having my own studio in Bettendorf with my name above the door.

Now I shoot hundreds of sessions every year and help mentor new photographers with the same dream as me! I love my work and look forward to working with you and your family!

“Marci is clearly an experienced professional in the field. She captured great pictures of my family in our mini session with stress-free efficiency. Seriously--she is so quick at nailing her shots, it is honestly pretty amazing. Marci has a fun personality and delivers on a quick editing window. I would highly recommend, especially for families with small children who have a hard time sitting still! :)”
