MEET KEESHA

I was born and raised on the south side (south suburbs) of Chicago, and came to Iowa to attend college - majoring in Child, Adult & Family Services, then moving on to earn my Masters (MBA). My background is varied - from operations to grant writing to marketing - but I've always loved creating and building relationships, later, finding myself picking up a camera and never putting it down. In 2021, I became a published photographer, and I couldn't be more excited!

​

As an entrepreneur and self-taught photographer (I even take my own portraits), my goal is to create an exceptional experience - from initial contact to delivery of your images - because You Deserve It!

 

Ward Creative Studios is a photography company dedicated to capturing YOU - in every way that means. My studio is based in Downtown Des Moines, IA, offering engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn, family, individual, grad, headshot, and branding photography. I believe that every person and every moment is unique, and I strive to capture that uniqueness. At all times, I want you to show up as YOU. Many of my clients have never been in front of a camera before coming to me, which is why I make it a point to help you feel comfortable; and before you know it, your confidence level has magnified x10. Just call me your hype-woman!

​

You'll see that my style is minimalistic, clean, and modern. Though my studio is based Des Moines, we can also take your session outdoors or to other indoor locations. When in-studio, have a glass of wine or sparkling water, and let's get your favorite music playlist going.
