SOUL

nostalgic

for the

photos 

 Imagine a world where your kids are grown, having babies of their own, and you don't have anything but a couple mediocre photos to show all the best parts of your motherhood journey raising them. The best part of your life has passed and you just want to somehow step back into that season, for even just a moment, to feel  their arms wrapped around you again, to smell that sweet newborn freshness, to see those tiny fingers and chubby cheeks... it's your time to give yourself and  your babies the photos they deserve documenting the parts of this life you'll miss the most someday. If you're a mom in the Des Moines or central Iowa area who wants to make fun, vintage, documentary-style images to be a part of your legacy- let's be friends!

You've come to the right place.

Anna | Mom of one 

Thank you, Olivia, for these amazing photos! If you are on the lookout for a photographer, I 100% recommend Sodak Photography! She is absolutely amazing to work with and makes you feel so comfortable + confident in front of the camera!"

Absolutely obsessed with how these turned out!

Courtney |
Mom of two 

"She goes above + beyond to make sure you and your family are cozy and confident!! She makes you forget what you were even stressed about to begin with! The love and energy she brings to your session is unmatched. I absolutely hate having my picture taken and when I got my maternity pictures taken she took that all away!" 

I am in awe of our photographer

Olivia killed it again.

We are so thankful to have her for pictures but even more thankful for her love and friendship. If you're looking for someone who cares, takes her time, and is invested in her clients- Sodak Photography is definitely the go to."

LET'S MEET

as a des moines and central Iowa family photographer, I've built my business from the ground up entirely based on the fact that I'm a sucker for nostalgia. I'd give anything for just one more photo of my grandma laughing or seeing her in her prime as an incredible mom of four. Let's give our kids the photos we wish we had. Photos that document their childhood while also documenting YOUR motherhood. 

It is SO important to LOVE the style of your photographer's work.

My photo style is vintage &  goofy with a side of editorial

My approach

Follow me

hi, i'm olivia + i'm so thankful + full of joy to know that you're considering me to be a small part of your motherhood journey. 
i can't wait to see what we can create together just by romanticizing the mundane moments of life! 

Nice to meet you!
