✨ Bigger and better things are coming to Gracefully Rooted! ✨

I have been working behind the scenes dreaming, creating, and planning some really exciting things for this business. 🤍

Gracefully Rooted is growing beyond just photography. 📸✨ New things are coming in photography, videography, crochet, sewing, and so much more.

From capturing your most precious moments, to creating handmade keepsakes that can be cherished for years, I’m so excited for this next chapter and everything that is ahead.

Hi everyone! 🤍

I've photographed weddings before, but one thing that's been on my photography bucket list is a courthouse wedding or intimate elopement! If you're planning a simple "I do," I'd love the opportunity to capture your special day.

✨ Courthouse Wedding Package: $150
📍 Based in Hopkinton, Iowa
🚗 I travel! (Travel fee not included and varies depending on location.)

If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to send me a message. I'd love to chat and be part of your special day! 🤍

The way your child reaches out for your hand without thinking. The happy tears as you walk down the isle. The quiet glance between two people in love. The laughter, the chaos, the growing baby bump, and all the Little moments that make up your story.

✨ Did you know I also crochet? 🧶💕

I make handmade stuffed animals (and a few other fun creations too)! While Christmas is my busiest season, these make the perfect gift for birthdays, baby showers, Easter, or just because. ❤️

The photos below are just a few of the items I've already made and currently have available. If you don't see the animal you're looking for, send me a message! I can make a wide variety of animals, along with seasonal favorites like ☃️ Snowmen, 🎅 Santa Claus, and 🍪 Gingerbread Men.

With the holidays always sneaking up faster than we expect, now is the perfect time to get your orders in! This gives me plenty of time to create your special handmade gift.

🧸 Most plushies are $45 each (a few specialty designs may vary).
📦 Shipping is available and is typically around $15 through my local post office.

Whether you're shopping for your son, daughter, niece, nephew, grandchild, or someone special, I'd love to create something unique just for them! 💕

Take a look at what's currently available below, and message me to order or ask about a custom design! 🩷

🌿 The Heart Behind Gracefully Rooted 🌿

Gracefully Rooted isn’t just a business — it’s a collection of things I love creating and sharing with others. 🤍

From capturing your family’s special moments, to creating handmade pieces with crochet and sewing, I love turning simple ideas into something meaningful.

There’s something special about handmade things and preserved memories — they remind us to slow down, appreciate the season we’re in, and hold onto the moments that matter.

Thank you to everyone who supports my small business, shares my posts, books sessions, purchases handmade creations, or simply cheers me on. Every bit of support helps this dream grow. ✨

Here’s to creating, capturing, and growing one little piece at a time. 🌱

Themed Session #3 is officially complete! 🥰✨

What an amazing evening with Erin! Once we got started, we absolutely hit it off and had the best time together. We laughed so much that she even stayed longer than planned... and agreed to film a TikTok for the business! 🤣🤪

Of course, we had one little mishap when a bug somehow found its way into her dress and stung her. Ouch! 😅 She handled it like an absolute trooper, brushed it off, and kept going without missing a beat.

Thank you, Erin, for such a fun session and for trusting me to capture these memories.
