Are you a small business owner struggling to stand out with a DIY website and basic phone photos that looks just like everyone else's?
Your business deserves better than snapshot visuals and a DIY website.
You work hard, and your brand should be showcased in a way that impresses potential customers.
As owning a local business becomes more competitive, businesses using cellphone photos and makeshift websites are losing opportunities to showcase their true value and justify premium prices.
Our combined local brand photography and web design package was built specifically for Iowa small businesses like yours – delivering professional brand photography and a customized website that's easy to update, helps you attract better customers, and makes your business shine.

Here's What You Need:
Domain Name & Squarespace Hosting
If you purchase the yearly Squarespace hosting, your domain is included for free. If not, you can purchase a domain from Squarespace if you don't already have one. I also use Hover for my domains.
If you don't have a Squarespace account yet, wait for the finished website link from us before you purchase, this ensures you get a nice 20% discount off your first year or first month of hosting.

Creating Your Business' Story
More than Just Photos & Web Design
Behind the Scenes
Our Collaborative Approach
When you work with us, you're getting more than a photographer with a camera or a designer with templates. You're getting storytellers who understand the local Iowa business landscape.
We don't just take pretty pictures or build functional websites – we create a complete online presence that works hard for your business.
The Power of Combined Expertise
Imagine It's shoot day at your business. While other photographers might come in, snap photos and call it done, we're building something bigger. Something different.
We're capturing those genuine moments of you connecting with a customer, the pride in your work, the warmth of your team's welcome.
Every photo we take is planned with purpose - designed to tell your story and showcase your business on your new website.
Combing many years of experience and expertise in web design with story telling brand photography, you will be set for success.
- We start by understanding your business's heart
- Learn about your ideal customers

Frequently Asked Questions
A. Yes, you receive full rights to all edited images for your business use. We recommend sharing them on social media, print media and on business assets so that you have one common theme of images through out your brand.
Q. Do I own all the photos?
A. Ultimately, it depends on your scheudle and communication with us. Typically, from photography to website launch is 4 weeks. If there is a delay in response from you, that timeline will be longer.
Q. How long does the entire process take?
A. Yes, we'll train you on making basic updates and content changes.
Q. Can I update the website myself?
A. Reach out - hello@jennylainedesigns.com (for website questions) or parker@sentcreative.co (for photography questions).
Q. Do you serve all of Iowa?
Q. Do you have more questions?
A. Yes, you'll need a Squarespace subscription. We recommend the Business plan for best features.
Q. Do I need to pay for Squarespace separately?

After 12 years of building websites, I've seen way too many small business owners struggle with their online presence.
Here's the thing - when you're running a local business, you're usually stuck between two bad choices: trying to DIY your website (which often looks, well... DIY), or paying a fortune for fancy custom development you probably don't need.
Through my work many small businesses and service providers in Des Moines and BNI, I've talked with countless small business owners who just want something that works and looks good, without the headache or huge price tag.
Let's be real - a DIY website can make even an amazing local business look amateur, and an overcomplicated custom site is useless if you can't update it yourself.
That's why I focus on building websites that make sense for small businesses - they look professional, you can easily maintain them, and they don't cost a fortune.
Your website should help your local business grow, not give you a migraine every time you think about it.
Hello
But what does that mean for businesses? I believe that every brand has it’s own unique story to tell, and my goal is to capture that through my lens.
Whether it’s capturing the passion behind your craft or highlighting the warmth of your team’s service, I create images that authentically reflect what sets your business apart
When everyone's competing for attention online, professional photography is what helps businesses break through the noise.
High-quality photos don’t just look good — they grab attention, make your brand memorable, and help people connect with what you’re all about.
Studies even show that visuals are processed way faster than text, so great images are one of the best ways to tell your story in less time and leave a lasting impression.

If you think about it - when you land on a website, what’s the first thing you notice? Chances are, it’s the images. Professional photos instantly make a business feel more trustworthy and put-together. They show potential customers that you care about quality and take your work seriously.
And it’s not just about looks — great photos can even help your website get found online.
Optimized images can boost your site’s search rankings, bringing more people your way. Investing in professional photography isn’t just “nice-to-have”; it’s a smart way to showcase your business, build trust, and grow your audience.
