Alex has a fresh, modern style so we picked some of the classic Des Moines locations for her senior photos. I loved gettin got hang out with her and the whole family, and sure hope I get to see them again in a few years! :)

Ankeny Senior Photos
It was a hot day in August, but the clouds rolled in to give us some relief from the humidity. Zoe can be more quiet than some, but we still great giggles together while exploring Valley Junction and West Des Moines for her senior photo experience!!
Alisha’s senior photos were a dream and not only did we get some fun downtown Indianola vibes, but we included some gorgeous flowers as well!!! 😍
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!
These photos are some of my favorite because Shia is so wonderful, and we got to photograph at the historic Salisbury house! What a dream come true!
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 session was full of great light and lots of laughter, and even some magical wildflower fields! Hannah giggled at all my dumb jokes, and made our time together a blast! We started downtown in Des Moines, canvassing a wide range of locations, before heading up to the lake for some dreamy sunset photos. Enjoy a few favorites from Hannah’s senior photo session!
I uploaded a few new photos, along with some previous work, because I’m having such a blast with the class of 2021! Summer is my favorite season to take senior photos —maybe this will show you why! The light is soft, we get late sunsets and lots of pretty wildflowers. Plus, it might be hot… but at least it isn’t cold! After all, Iowa seems to spend half the year in winter. ;) Enjoy some stunning senior portraits and email me if you’re in need of your own senior pictures here in Des Moines, Ankeny, Ames, or even Cedar Falls or Dubuque!
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!
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!
Back when I started photographing seniors (when I was an itty-bitty-baby-photogapher myself!) I did a Senior Model Team. Like any beginner, I had noooo idea what I was doing… but it was fun! When I transferred schools to Iowa State in Ames, I didn’t shoot as many senior portraits due to time constraints with homework and not knowing many high schoolers in the area.
Kaysia sent me an email about shooting senior photos… just a few weeks back. She’s friends with another one of my senior gals, and I was so excited to hear from her! Since yearbook photos are due in just a few short weeks, we decided to take a few senior pictures downtown in Des Moines. We’ll finish up her session later in the spring- when it hopefully warms up!
Kelly is friends with Aimee through their classes at Cedar Falls High School. Kelly andI met up for coffee earlier this summer, and bonded over our mutual love of the local Cup of Joe and UNI Suzuki’s violin program! It was even more fun getting to know her last weekend, when we wandered around CF for her senior pictures. :)
I finally found a field of sunflowers in Iowa and it was so magical!!! Click to jump to the full blog post… showcasing some of the most gorgeous sunflowers you’ve ever seen! Looking for epic senior photos!? I would LOVE to be your photographer! Just shoot me an email!
You are a unique individual, with unique interests, strengths, and personality. That's why your senior photos should reflect who you are!
Each senior session is customized all the way through, and you get to determine the feel and flavor of your session! Not only does this mean amazing, high quality, and gorgeous senior pictures... but a fun, interactive, and creative senior photo session!
