My name is Ardita Grunwald, and I am founder and owner of SipmlyZoom photography. As a multifaceted individual, I find immense joy in capturing the essence of life through the lens of my camera. With a passion for photography coursing through my veins, I embark on a visual journey, capturing the profound beauty that surrounds me. With the click of a shutter, I freeze moments in time, preserving memories for eternity. As a mother of four, my heart swells with pride and love as I document the milestones and tender moments of my precious children. Hailing from the mesmerizing landscapes of Albania, I bring a unique perspective to my art, infusing my work with the rich tapestry of my culture. Living in the enchanting town of Eldridge, Iowa, I am blessed to be surrounded by a community that appreciates and supports my craft. My devotion to my family and my craft intertwine harmoniously, as my loving husband stands by my side, encouraging and inspiring me to reach new heights. In this kaleidoscope of life, I find solace and purpose, capturing the fleeting moments that make up the very fabric of our existence. 

Testimonials

“You will not find someone easier to work with - Ardita is so wonderful, and will do a beautiful job even in the chaos of your wedding. Not only did she get fantastic pictures of us, but she got amazing snaps of everyone else in our wedding too that all our guests loved.”

“Cannot recommend simplyzoom photography enough! She has been so easy to work with and communicate with. We had our engagement pictures and wedding photos done. I was worried about my husband not being super comfortable with taking pictures but Ardita always made him feel good. We’re now expecting our first baby and she’ll be doing our newborn photos!”

“Ardita was amazing to work with, and knew how to help my husband and I let loose behind the camera! On our wedding day, she did a great job of keeping our wedding party and families organized during the group pictures! We received both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures back so fast, and received so many genuine compliments on them from our family and friends! Ardita felt more like a friend, rather than just a wedding photographer! We are so grateful for her!!!”
