Mindy Myers took her first photography class almost 20 years ago and has not stopped exploring photography since. She studied photography and art at the University of California Santa Barbara before finishing her journalism degree at Drake University, where her photography won several national awards. Mindy's eclectic education and experience have resulted in a signature style of photo documentary portraiture that distinguishes all of her work. She specializes in capturing people through her work in documentary wedding photography, editorial portraiture, and Natural Child children's photography.

Mindy is well-known in Iowa as an outstanding artist who captures the souls of those she photographs. Her clientele has grown almost entirely by word of mouth and includes both regional and national clients. Mindy was awarded three first-place finishes in the Wedding Photojournalist Association's 2005 contests resulting in a third-place standing for the 2005 Photographer of the Year award. She was also featured in the July/August issue of Wedpix Magazine.

Mindy shoots out of downtown Des Moines' Catchlight Studios and manages her business at her home where she lives with her husband, two daughters and assorted animals.

She is a member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association, Wedding & Portrait Photographers International, and the American Child Photographers Charity Guild.
