Wendi Moody Photography

Wendi Moody Photography Let's talk about how I can help; WEDDINGS, ENGAGEMENTS, FAMILY OR SENIOR PORTRAITS. Can't wait to meet you and hear all about your plans! Welcome!! Wendi

So glad you dropped by! I am Wendi Moody, and first, a little about what I do! I love outdoor photography with soft, flattering natural light. I like an airy, light look with a very romantic and personal appeal. I don't shoot in a studio, I go on location, or can recommend beautiful settings for you. And now, a little about this lady behind the lens!

* I love Jesus, and I can count all of the ble

ssings He has brought into my life including meeting you!

* I have worked for many years as a social worker. I love people and their unique and beautiful personalities. What better way to celebrate this; being there to document lovely people in their authentic lives with those they love most!

* In a world that gets more "impersonal" all of the time, I truly value genuine face-to-face interactions. There is a good chance we will be life-long friends!

* I am the blessed mother of three great kids, and the lucky wife of one of the kindest men I have ever known. It is because of his love and support that I am here, fulfilling a dream. And it's because of that love that I truly enjoy seeing it in others as well.


* I am a proud ISU Cyclone alumni, and my son is an ISU grad as well. Our two daughters are current students there as well! It's so cool that we will always have that in common!

* I was raised an Iowa country girl - that lifestyle is near and dear to my heart. I live on a farm in Story County, Iowa and in addition to raising crops, we run a small herd of Simmental cows. Our family raises markets and shows purebred and Sim-Angus seedstock,. Our daughters exhibited cattle at local and national shows and were involved in 4-H, FFA and junior livestock organizations. We love the stock show life!

* Obviously, I am definitely a little bit country - I especially adore classic country music! But...I am also a little bit "citified"/ rock-n-roll. I have attended more concerts than I can remember. I dig a good music trivia challenge!

* I love fashion, especially shoes, handbags and jewelry. Though I love my cowboy boots, I also love a great pair of heels! I also have a collection of native-American inspired jewelry that seems to have a habit of growing ;)

* There is nothing sweeter than good conversation with great company and a glass of wine (these days, more than one glass would put me to sleep! Ha!)

* I am a chips and salsa addict.

* While we are admitting addictions - let's add Diet Pepsi to the list. Tried to give it up - failed. Trying again!

* I have a very distinguishable voice - never been able to fool anyone on the phone! And with that comes a very boisterous "cackle" of a laugh. I am not afraid to let 'er rip, and I do it quite often because humor is mandatory in this life! :) I hope when we meet, I get to hear your laugh!

* I have always hated having my picture taken. It's been a problem ever since I can remember. I do not want anyone else to feel that way or miss very important opportunities to document their lives. My goal is for you to enjoy the fun experience we will have and even more so, LOVE the way you look in your photos! MY PHILOSOPHY:
I treasure capturing very real, sincere interactions in outdoor photos with dreamy natural lighting. I prefer to get to know you so that you are comfortable with me and with being in front of my camera. I take the privilege of being there for your life moments very seriously, but we will have a good time in the process. LET'S CONNECT:
I would love to hear from you, so send an email or facebook message and let's get connected. I look forward to working with you to put together your unique experience, and delivering timeless images for you and your family to enjoy for years to come. Thanks again for stopping by!

"FIVE DITTERTS DODGING"🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅

Jake, Kerry, Kaleb, Emma and Karly Dittert are long-time friends and Kerry is actually a cousin of mine! I had asked them who probably had the most "fun" last night and it appears they are all looking Kaleb's way, but everyone is "dodging" blame! Love you, Dittert Fam! I so appreciate your repeat business and love seeing you each chance I get! 😘

Just had to do another FOUR because this...

"FOUR CUTIES CACKLING" 😍🎄😍🎄😍

Where do I start with these kiddos? Oh my goodness, the Johnston Fam. They are the sweetest and the most fun bunch you'll meet! Cash, Kinley, Paisley, Shelby and their parents Ryan and Cecily joined us for sessions at the tree farm and it made my heart happy. Miss Shelby helped us in the show barn this summer, at the state fair and the Royal and did a fabulous job in the ring for us as well. Thanks for coming out guys! ❤️

"FOUR RANDOM REISDORFS" (AND A CAT)🎄🎄🎄🎄🐱
Mark, MariElyn, Steven and Anne Reisdorf are our neighbors down the road, and part of our Church family. I love how everyone is doing something random and different in this photo! They are so much fun and I'm so glad they stopped our for a session!

TAKE THREE!
Eric & LaDonna Pagel and daughter Sammi are a sweet family that used to attend our Church, but now reside in Madrid. Fun fact: LaDonna went to high school with Dan. I have never asked her if that was a good or bad thing? Hmmm🤔

NEXT UP: My awesome work buddy Heather Pedersen, her hubby Jarrod and boys R***r and Colton. R***r is a regular cut up, never a dull moment. But sometimes the Pedersen Parentals have had enough of his shenanigans 🤪

This photo is entitled: "TWO seconds 'til mom's over it!". (YES, if you are following along, we are actually counting from 1-12 rather than vice versa as the song goes...)

Stay tuned...for THREE!

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN: BEST OUTTAKES FROM THE CHRISTMAS SESSIONS 2022!🤣🎅🎄🤣

First up: My dear friend from high school, Tonya Osborn, her husband Chris and adorable grandson River. I DIED when this came up in the editing bay. Poor little dude had been traveling all day and was so tired, but DANG this is good stuff. A total keeper! I shall title this, "One Toddler Shrieking" 😍

Had a lovely sunset session with a sweet couple last evening. They were troopers; it was so windy and chilly but this particular shot warms my heart. Their love for one another is so real and easy to capture - thank you Amber and Ryan, it was so great meeting you both!

Most people that know me well & know that I have a photography side hustle, also know that I get stupid giddy over being asked to shoot senior sessions at the Iowa State Fair. The best thing about it; finding unexpectedly beautiful locations despite the massive amounts of people everywhere! A tall, gorgeous drink-o-water like Miss Bailey here in front of the lens doesn't suck either🤩.

When we meet for a senior session, I want you to have fun. And I want to know who you REALLY are. Even if the "real you" likes to cut up & clown. Because let's face it; I'm not always the most "grown up" and serious person in the world, so we'll be cool. Miss Hallie Weddle...well, she spoke my language and I hope mama Tracy will cherish these "out-takes" for a lifetime! (Sometimes the out-takes are the GRAVY, baby!) 👌Tracy Campbell Weddle

Three things I love in one photo: cows, sunsets in the pastures and photo shoots for special seniors. So excited to show more of this beautiful girl's session. Thank you for a fun evening Halli and family! (And a shout out to our sweet Loretta for her cameo appearance😍, and Ruby's nose and Eddy's ears 😂)

I truly love senior shoots...and it's a special treat to capture memories for stock show kids with their livestock. Tyler Pudenz is just lovely - a photog's dream. And sweet "Clyde" was probably the most adaptable and well-behaved non-human subject to date :)

A beautiful mama-to-be in the warm glow of an Iowa sunset...🤩
Seems I don't have much time anymore to take on too many photo gigs, but I'll bust it for special circumstances. This right here...reminds me of why I love it so much! And now, the little man has arrived and I hope one day he looks at this photo and says, "Dang, mom...you were a total smoke show" (or whatever the kiddos will be saying then!). Much love to you, Jamee, Joe, and little mister Jaxon Brian Eggers! Honored to have captured these special moments for you!

Our Story

Welcome!! So glad you dropped by! I am Wendi Moody, and first, a little about what I do! I love outdoor photography with soft, flattering natural light. I like an airy, light look with a very romantic and personal appeal. I don't shoot in a studio, I go on location, or can recommend beautiful settings for you. And now, a little about this lady behind the lens! * I love Jesus, and I can count all of the blessings He has brought into my life including meeting you! * I have worked for many years as a social worker. I love people and their unique and beautiful personalities. What better way to celebrate this; being there to document lovely people in their authentic lives with those they love most! * In a world that gets more "impersonal" all of the time, I truly value genuine face-to-face interactions. There is a good chance we will be life-long friends! * I am the blessed mother of three great kids, and the lucky wife of one of the kindest men I have ever known. It is because of his love and support that I am here, fulfilling a dream. And it's because of that love that I truly enjoy seeing it in others as well. * I am a proud ISU Cyclone alumni, and my oldest son is n ISU grad as well. Our other two daughters are a freshman and a junior at ISU. We are season ticket holders for football and basketball and often travel wherever the bowl games take us in December, and enjoy going to KC for the Big 12 Tournament in March. You could say we’re obsessed ;) * I was raised an Iowa country girl - that lifestyle is “home” to me and I am forever grateful to have been given all the gifts that came of that. Currently, I live on a farm in rural Maxwell, Iowa and in addition to raising crops, we run a small herd of Simmental and Sim-Angus cows. Our family raises a few feeder calves for beef customers, and we raise and market purebred seedstock. We hope to continue to grow and improve our seedstock operation, it really is one of our passions! Our two daughters exhibited cattle at local, state and national shows through 4-H, junior livestock programs and open divisions. We love the stock show life, but with both of us working full-time jobs not directly related to the cattle, we weave this into the busy tapestry of our lives as much as we possibly can! * Obviously, I am a little bit country - I especially adore classic country music! But...I am also a little bit "citified"/ rock-n-roll. I have attended more concerts than I can remember. I dig a good music trivia challenge! * Speaking of "citified", I love fashion; especially shoes & jewelry. Though I love my cowboy boots, I also love a great pair of heels or a cool pair or fun sneaks. HUGE fan of vintage and unique turquoise/ Native American jewelry. The Fed Ex dude knows all about this too ;)

* There is nothing sweeter than good conversation with great company and a glass of wine...but this simple gal will also take a red beer any day! (these days, more than one can sometimes put me to sleep! Ha!) * I am a chips and salsa addict. And, I could eat some kind of Italian food for every meal. * While we are admitting addictions - let's add Diet Pepsi to the list. Tried to give it up - failed. Trying again! * I have a very distinguishable voice - never been able to fool anyone on the phone! And with that comes a very boisterous "cackle" of a laugh. I am not afraid to let 'er rip, and I do it quite often because humor is mandatory in this life! :) I hope when we meet, I get to hear your laugh! * I have always hated having my picture taken. It's been a problem ever since I can remember. I do not want anyone else to feel that way or miss very important opportunities to document their lives. My goal is for you to enjoy the fun experience we will have and even more so, LOVE the way you look in your photos! I love, love LOVE taking photographs and I hope this is evident to you form the first snap of the shutter! MY PHILOSOPHY: I treasure capturing very real, sincere interactions in outdoor photos with dreamy natural lighting. I prefer to get to know you so that you are comfortable with me and with being in front of my camera. I take the privilege of being there for your life moments very seriously, but we will have a good time in the process.
