About Me

Welcome to Crane Creations Photography!

My name is Wendy Crane, and my husband James and I established Crane Creations Photography based in Des Moines, Iowa. We have a beautiful baby girl named Abigail and two amazing dogs that are like our children. I’ve always had an appreciation for the Arts, and photography is what captured my heart. After a few career changes, I decided to follow my heart and study photography. A combination of Photography and Computer Science credentials makes us the perfect pair to entrust to create those timeless portraits. We believe family is the foundation and the best accomplishment in life, and we want to help you make timeless treasures of that foundation. We are a very creative team and have many unique services available to you.

Let us capture those special moments in your life!

Our Philosophy

Create Timeless Treasures

We believe that the true treasures in life are the people we love, our family, our friends, and our children. As parents, we know first hand how quickly they grow and how soon all we have left are our memories. That is why we are dedicated to preserving the most precious moments in life through the art of photography. It is my goal to create beautiful and lasting photographic images that will touch the hearts and lives of each and every client who places their trust in me for years to come. We promise to give the utmost level of service to each client, while respecting individual needs. Our hope is to develop a personal connection that supports an ongoing and long-lasting relationship.
