⫸Well Hi! I'm Ava Murders!⫷

Get to know me before we connect

🤍🤍🤍

If you asked me how to describe myself, I'd say I'm a very kind, humorous soul who has a knack for connecting with people. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me under five fuzzy blankets with my cats—either watching Bob’s Burgers/South Park, playing a game (or 10) on Fortnite, or nose-deep in a book. Bonus points if there’s a emotional support Baja Blast within reach (which, let’s be honest, there always is).

I started my business journey at 18, and now at 25, I’m still based in Cedar Rapids but love traveling wherever my camera takes me! Photography has been a passion of mine since my early days in 4-H, and while I take pride in the quality of my work, what matters most to me are the relationships I build with my clients.

*Fun Fact: I have taken 2 years of American Sign Language (ASL) and am still continuing my education in the language today! I use it almost everyday at home and love the ability to connect with people in a more meaningful way!

Every day, I’m so grateful for the chance to do what I love most—capturing memories and celebrating the amazing people I get to meet. While photography is at the heart of what I do, creating lasting relationships will always be my muse. My business is rooted in love, and I’m so excited to share that experience with you, right here in the Midwest ❤

“Ava!!! You surpassed my expectations! I'm so in love with these [photo album]. I'm beyond words for how grateful I am that other photographers didn't work out and we found you. I've been showing off your pictures all day and even ran out of your business cards. Thank you so so much!”
