the girl behind the art
Hello, my name is Whitney Long
I'm a 23-year-old photographer and videographer based in Des Moines, Iowa.
I recently graduated from college, got married, and moved from NY to IA.
I’m beyond excited to begin this new chapter of my life.
My photography journey began in 2016 at a Christian youth camp in Western New York where I grew up. Over the years, I started capturing weddings and officially embraced the title of “wedding photographer” in 2018. Though I didn’t initially set out to be a photographer, what started as a hobby at 13 has blossomed into one of my greatest passions.
When we work together, I promise we’ll have a great time while I work to preserve your precious memories. I’m eager to capture what’s special to you and ensure every moment feels genuine and authentic.
I am currently based in Des Moines but I’m always open to traveling wherever you are. I have lived in Chicago and New York, so both of these places hold a special place in my heart.
My passion extends to both photography and videography, so I would love to be your go-to girl for either one!
All I ask is that you place your trust in me throughout the process.


My husband, Andrew!

As a follower of Christ, I view my photography as a gift from the Lord and aim to use it to honor Him. My goal is to let my work be used for His glory.
