adventurer. lover of nostalgia. photo obsessed.

Hi there!

Welcome! I am a traveling wedding photographer based in Iowa. I founded Gracelin Photo Co. over four years ago, as a high schooler. I have been photographing special moments and people ever since.

I slowly developed my passion and my business. After graduation, I hopped on a plane & backpacked 13 countries in Europe over the course of 3 months.

I’m Gracelin.

One day, I looked in my backpack and realized…

I was hauling around 3 cameras & about 10 extra pounds. (YK, I didn’t want to miss a moment!) It dawned on me that photography was a way of life for me, and I needed to pursue it more intentionally and as business.

Currently, I am a senior at Iowa State University studying Agricultural Communications, (all things culinary, animals, photos, and communication) as well as Entrepreneurship.

In my free time, you can find me cooking, working out, walking my dog, Hazel, or running around Ames/Des Moines taking your photos! I travel throughout Iowa, and without hesitation would hop on a plane to capture your moments!
