Real Dakota Photography

Ava | 2026 Roncalli Senior Miss Ava wasn’t about to settle for the same spot everyone else does for senior pics and honestly, I'm glad she didn't! We laughed through this entire session and ended up with photos that truly captured her personality! Wishing you the best senior year, Ava! I had so much fun capturing you in front of the camera! @ava_n_nicole #SeniorSession #BeUnique #SeniorStyle

Engagement photos with these two was basically laughter from start to finish! Add in their little family and we had the perfect mix of chaos and fun! @sarahaustad @jesse.brown00 #ipswichsouthdakotaphotographer #southdakotaphotographer #ipswichphotographer #outdoorsessions #engagementsessions #engagementsession #engagementphotography

[ Kienow Family ] Through it all, this crew rolled with every wild moment like pros. We battled bugs, heat and unpredictable farm animals — but still managed to capture some great memories! Thanks Kienow family for sharing your evening with me! @ashleekienow #familyphotosession #outdoorsessions #familysession #outdoorsession #FamilyPhotoSession #familyphotography #ipswichsouthdakotaphotographer #southdakotaphotographer #ipswichphotographer

Alyssa | 2026 Northwestern High School Senior This girl brought beauty, grace, and good vibes to every part of her session! She rolled with whatever the evening threw at us — laughing, smiling and making it all look effortlessly stunning. Inside and out, she’s absolutely radiant! Thanks Alyssa for letting me capture your senior year for you! @alyssabrick5 #ipswichsouthdakotaphotographer #southdakotaphotographer #ipswichphotographer #highschoolseniorsession #seniorsessions #seniorsession2026 #seniorsession

ATTENTION Ipswich Public School parents & students! It's that time of year again! 📸 I’ll be at the school taking photos the early afternoon of Open House day, so I’m opening up a short window for anyone else who’d like to get school pictures done that day. Please note that these hours are NOT during Open House this year. @ipswichpublicschools

[ The Dingers ] Everything about this day felt relaxed, fun and full of love — from the sweet vows to the laughter-filled reception. You could truly feel the love surrounding these two, not just from each other, but from every friend and family member there. One of my favorite moments? The groom grabbing the camera and snapping fun shots of everyone at the reception! It was relaxed, it was fun, and it was absolutely perfect. Thank you guys for letting me forever be a part of this day! I wish you guys a lifetime of happiness! #ipswichsouthdakotaphotographer #southdakotaphotographer #ipswichphotographer #weddingseason #weddingday #weddingphotography #southdakotaweddingphotography #southdakotaweddings

Well, here we are — my last wedding. I know, I know… a couple of years ago, I said I was done with weddings... but I clearly have a hard time saying no! 😜 I guess I had a few more love stories to capture and a few more days to sweat through a timeline with my camera in hand. This really is my last wedding — for real this time. I’ve loved every emotional, chaotic, beautiful minute of it. But it’s time to officially hang up my wedding photographer hat (before I say yes again 🙃). To all the couples who trusted me to capture one of the biggest days of their lives — thank you. It’s been an honor, truly. And while I’ll still be behind the camera, this chapter is officially closed. Ending on a high note with a beautiful couple and a day full of love ❤️📸✨ #LastWeddingForReal #CouldntSayNo #PhotographerLifed the c
