Alyson wanted to capture some photos with her horse to celebrate graduation from ISU! I always jump on the chance to get to celebrate with ISU grads, and this was a perfect session - I think you’ll love it!
Enjoy a few favorite images from Kendra’s downtown senior photos in Des Moines, Iowa!
Elizabeth booked 2 sessions with me for senior photos last summer- one before braces and one during (because SUMMER!!). I’m so glad we had a session in the summer, because the lighting was MAGIC and her ideas were amazing! We started off at the High School pool — she dives on the team!— and ended in a dream field of wildflowers. SO obsessed with these senior portraits!!
Sophia’s love for music, fun colors, and bright personality meshed together perfectly in this summertime senior session! This gal won’t be a high schooler in Des Moines much longer, and I can’t wait to see what she does after graduation!
Some exciting and important news in the post about senior photos for the class of 2023 ~ make sure to read all the way to the bottom!! Also, enjoy Zoey’s summertime senior photos. My fingers are currently ice cubes and I miss hot weather. ;)
Elizabeth knew that she would be getting braces this spring, so we scheduled her for my senior photo package that allows her to do photos in not one but TWO seasons! We took photos in March, and I never got around to blogging them… but I’m so excited to meet up with her again and take more photos this fall.
What could be better than celebrating graduating from Vet Med school (with honors!!) at Iowa State, than by a grad photo session!? I can’t think of anything. Monique and I snapped some great photos for her to show off to family and friends… see more in the blog post!
Click to see more of Anyang’s sweet senior session! We caught one of the last warm days in November, and explored all across Iowa State University’s beautiful campus to take these photos. Enjoy!
Leah goes to school in Humbolt, and our original plan was for her to come down to Des Moines for her senior photos. Well, weather changed plans (as happens in Iowa!) and we rescheduled to a new date with time constraints. So, Ames became our landing spot and did we have THE BEST NIGHT for her seniors or what!? She was so sweet, and I just loved her style & confidence! Check out some of my favorites.
Madeline officially graduates from high school this month, and although we took her senior photos back in March, it was chilly and overcast… so we decided to take a few more with the green spaces and flowers that pop up in late spring. The Rose Gardens in Des Moines set us up for the perfect June evening— I’ll never get tired of it! Plus, I hadn’t taken any senior photos there yet, so I’m glad Madeline was up for it. :) She brought along her cap, gown, and tassels for the occasion, perfect for celebrating high school graduation!
Pandemic or not, time marches on. Including schooling and graduation! Cory is a 2020 graduate of Iowa State University, and he wanted to commemorate this milestone with some professional senior photos. It was a joy to meet this young man, and capture photos for him to remember this season of life. Congrats to the Class of 2020!
Authentic and fun portraits remain my goal for any senior or portrait session, and I think we accomplished that with these photos! Kylie has no professional modeling experience— she just trusted me and went along with all my goofy ideas! I’m so thankful for that, because we really created some fun photos of this season of her life. Plus, she looks KILLER in that felt hat, don’t you think!? Downtown Des Moines girl senior sessions will forever be my favorite thing to photograph!
Ester modeled an authentic African-print top for me… and I’ll never be the same. ;) I’m totally all about this girl, and the incredible images we created together! Click the title to see more of the outfits Ester pulled together & her gorgeous model face. #slay
Sara attends Ames High School, where she is a senior this fall! As well as dance, Sara is involved in band… and takes dance lessons at a local studio. She loves the Beatles, purple, and traveling with her family. (This summer they took an Alaskan cruise! I’m totally jealous.) We also bonded over the fact that we both wear chacos, and agree they’re some of the best shoes ever designed.
Last summer, I got to photograph senior photos downtown Des Moines. It was a blast! So, this summer, I loved shooting Aimee’s senior pictures in the downtown Waterloo area! Aimee is a senior at Cedar Falls High School, and is super involved in dance (both at school, and outside of CFHS)! We had a ton of fun wandering down by the river, and even popped into Singlespeed Brewery to take a few senior photos. We wrapped up our night with a fun surprise— photography smoke bombs!
One of my Ames High senior models from last year, Lydia, is friends with Halei... which is how she decided to book me for her senior pictures! We met up for coffee back in April (WOW that feels like so long ago now) and dreamed up a gorgeous floral and nature inspired senior photo shoot. Halei is alllll about the shoes, and so she totally built this session around her shoes and floral outfit theme! If you know me, perpetual flowers would be one of my three items on an abandoned island. Needless to say, Halei and I are now best friends. ;)
