This senior session was just so wonderful, and it’s crazy now that only a month ago things were still so brown!! I’m thankful spring (and summer TBH) finally arrived in Iowa, and cannot WAIT for senior sessions at the Art Center this summer when things are green & blooming!!

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!

Emma invited me to join her in Fort Dodge to capture her life with her chickens, favorite cat, and of course out on a dusty country road! Nothing could be more “IOWA” than this senior session!!

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.

Even with some rain, we had fun running from the east side of campus to the west and all ‘round the campanile. Between a mix of serious and fun photos, Doz rocked them all and it was a fast hour together. Carly stepped in for a few of them together… they’re so perfect for one another, it was easy to see that! Enjoy Doz’s graduation photos at ISU in Ames!

Zoe’s senior photos took place on a humid Iowa evening, but you wouldn’t even know how hot it was outside by her calm smiles! She graduates this year from Valley High School in West Des Moines, and will be on to new adventures this fall at university. Enjoy a few favorites from my time with this sweet dancer!

Cierra jumped in front of my camera with the ease of a gal familiar with modeling. She did so well, and we had fun (despite the humidity!) taking photos around the Des Moines Art Center and downtown. This session had a good mix of nature + city vibes, and I can’t wait to see which ones her mom hangs up on the wall!

Check out Sophia’s sweet downtown senior photo session from last summer! We started out in the heart of downtown Des Moines, and ended up in Ankeny in a field of wildflowers— the best kind of evening. :) Follow along to see more!

This sweet gal traveled to Des Moines just to have me take her senior portraits! It was an honor— and SO MUCH FUN! I think we went over our time (the sun definitely set on us!) but it was worth the end photos we got. Amber is a blast to hang out with, and her East Village senior pictures are some of the highlights of my career!!
