I’m Louise Shimon, and Experience It Photography — EIP for short — is based just outside Perry, Iowa, on Highway 141. Whether we meet in my studio or on-location, each session is thoughtfully designed around you.
My studio is located in a building that still serves its original agricultural purpose. That surprises a lot of first-time visitors. But step inside, and you'll find something special: soft white twinkle lights crisscrossing the ceiling, a curated playlist in the background, and a space designed for a relaxed energy that makes even the most camera-shy feel at ease.
This space reflects exactly how I approach photography sessions: comfortable, genuine, and thoughtfully crafted. Whether you're here for polished headshots, senior portraits, branding images, a family session, or a photo that simply celebrates where you are in life, I want you to feel calm and confident the moment you arrive. Many clients mention this feeling in their Google reviews — words like "easy to work with," "capturing the essence," and "thorough" come up often, and I consider that the highest compliment.
And while the experience matters — because feeling good shows in the final images — so does the quality. Every product is intentionally designed, every edit handled with a careful eye, and every step of the process guided with clarity and purpose.
When it comes time to choose your final images, I offer both carefully retouched digital files and printed products — from gift prints to wall art and custom albums. My services also include wall arrangement visualization. I'll help you choose the right format so your images don't just sit in a folder — they live where they can be enjoyed.
No pressure. No pretense. Just a welcoming space — whether in-studio or on-location — where you can be yourself, and photography that reflects that beautifully.
