“We are so beyond happy with our wedding photos from Amelia!! It just could not have been a more perfect day, the weather, the company, everything was perfect. We had a tiny courthouse wedding with just our parents. Amelia was so fun and fit right in with us all. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and encouraged us to do fun poses. I also love all the candid photos she took, they are just so special and exactly what I wanted to be able to look back on. Thank you for capturing so many special moments and doing an absolute fantastic job Amelia!“

“SADLY, MAXHEIM PHOTOGRAPHY has lost its last proprieter just before Thanksgiving. Paula Maxheim passed on Wednesday, Nov. 22, 2023, on the 60th Annv of President Kennedy's Death. Her service was completed a week later in Des Moines. Her ashes are being privately held at the moment. The outstanding works her parents did for my family and that Paula continued has now been put to rest. I can't share any because of family ID restrictions.“

“We have used Lon since we had kids in 2006. We have always had the best experience. He is very patient and cares about what we are looking for. He always puts a creative touch to every photograph. We have moved from the area, but I still choose to come back and have pictures taken by him. He is one of the best.“

“Bill did a wonderful job with our wedding photos and engagement photo shoot! He was well prepared and took many photos from all the way from the ceremony to first dances at the reception. He also included the engagement photo shoot, photo editing, printed photos, and an album as a part of his competitively priced wedding package. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a photographer that's highly experienced, and has a degree in photography. Also he's professional and fun to work with!“

“Jenny did such an amazing job with my son. He is a typical teenage boy who didn't really even want to have his photos taken. Jenny made every effort to get my son engaged, listened to his feedback, and made all of us feel comfortable with the process. The result? Stunning photographs that really captured my son - she even got some of his REAL smile. I'm so happy and THANKFUL with the results we got. Highly recommend!“

“Awesome work! Quick response! Great customer service! Friendly and flexible with scheduling! Two thumbs UP Thank you!“

“Great to work with! Love her creativity and how she captures our family’s personalities ❤️“

“If you are looking for a wonderful photographer- look no further. She has captured timeless moments in our kids lives from preschool photos, family photos and our new little additions. She is incredibly patient with the littles and provides a very comfortable environment while she’s working with us. Our littles can get stressed easily in new places and with the calm direction and reactions, they are somehow... little angels for her. Her response times are amazing when coordinating a time and any concerns are always addressed. She’s extremely affordable and I always know that my photos are going to turn out amazing.“
