capturing the raw and natural beauty of bellies, birth, and babes.
Hi, I’m Shalyn.
I am a wife, mother, and photographer living in and loving the city of Des Moines, IA. I want to shed light on the beauty of birth, and celebrate the love and strength of growing families.
Every birth experience is unique and incredible. It’s a story that is like no other that only you can share. I want to help you do that by honoring you and your child with intimate, timeless, beautiful images that will reflect some of the most important moments of your life.
When you’re anxiously and patiently awaiting the arrival of your little one…
The moment you meet your child face to face for the first time and you cry tears of joy and relief…
The day that shows your new normal as you cuddle your newborn sleeping soundly in your arms, with tired eyes and a full heart...
These stories are worth telling. Let’s share them together.
“Shalyn has such a sweet and calming presence. She took my birth photos and they were magical!
I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be in my birthing space capturing those special moments!
I would highly recommend her.” - Abbey
