ABOUT

DSC01594.jpg

Welcome! I am so glad that you are here. My name is Calli and I am the person behind the lens of Calli Tuggle Photography. I am a visual storyteller and master chatterbox. As an extroverted introvert, I have found the perfect fit for me in photography. I love spending an hour with families, getting to know them, and photographing a part of their story. I re-charge my social battery and allow my creativity to really spark during the editing process.

As a boy mom times four and an avid animal lover, not much can phase me in terms of surprises during sessions. I love engaging with children during sessions and connecting with parents during their newborn session. I'll share some of my favorite parenting hacks and probably even send you on your way with a homemade treat.

It is really important to me that everyone in front of my lens feels comfortable with me. This means that I will call you by your preferred name and pronoun. I will ask permission before I touch you. I will respect your wishes if you don't want your images posted online or don't want your child's face or name online. I also work with all individuals with cognitive and learning abilities and understand that extra time and patience may be needed. This is at no additional charge for my families. I want your images to be a reflection of you and your family and not be limited by a timeframe.

Family, senior, couples, and newborn photographer serving the Des Moines, Iowa area since 2021.
