There’s nothing better than a quiet evening downtown with a senior and my camera. Especially if Iowa’s boasting one of her stunning sunsets!! Allison and I got so lucky, and I love how her photos turned out.

Downtown Senior Photos
Addison brought her own unique vision to senior photo night, and I LOVED it! She’s a creative spirit, with a bubbly laugh and the kindest soul. I’m always excited to get to show some of my favorite spaces in the Des Moines metro off- keep reading to see more of this joyful senior!
Piper is so fun & I loved getting to know her over coffee, and spend an evening with her and mom exploring Des Moines. We started her senior photos downtown, and headed to a nature park for photos with her doggo and in the last rays of sunshine. June senior photos in Iowa never miss!
Lauren brought such fun vibes to her modern East Village senior photo session! I can’t believe this hadn’t made it’s way onto the blog yet…oops. Enjoy some late summer senior photos from 2021!
It’s almost graduation season for all my incredible seniors of 2023… and that means I’m starting to book seniors for this summer! Class of 2024, are you ready!? I’ve loved honing my skills as a professional senior photographer for the past 10 years. Each year, the seniors get cooler and the photo sessions become less work and more play. ;) Enjoy Katie’s senior session!
Downtown Des Moines is always a fun place to take senior photos, even if you live in Waukee or Ankeny. There’s just so much more to explore, and we took some of Abi’s pictures around some of my favorite corners in the heart of DSM. Click through to see more photos!
Hannah’s dreams were just so fun to work with and we captured her vintage, book loving self in all the best ways. Click through to see more of this East Des Moines senior session!
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!!
A few favorites of Jenna’s senior photos in downtown des moines!
This session with Miriam was a dream of an evening. Her edgy style, some vintage vibes, and some retro parking lots including by Crescent Chevrolet, complete the feel! Probably my favorite downtown styled senior session to date.
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!
curious how to add some flavor & personality into your senior photos, so they look like YOU and less like… well, everyone else’s!? this blog post will help you plan for your senior photography experience with Amelia! make sure to follow along on Instagram for more ideas & behind the scenes fun!
Claire found me through Instagram (of course!!) and booked me for her summer senior photos. We clicked immediately, and spent a few hours laughing together around the downtown Des Moines area. Claire attends high school in Huxley, at Ballard High, where she’ll be a senior this year! She plans to study music and is going to be great at her future pursuits—I have a feeling that any high schooler who can rock a blazer can do anything!
You won’t believe how much fun this photo session was! Kennedy is going to be a senior this coming school year, and we explored downtown Des Moines and the surrounding area for some really fun senior pictures. Check out the blog post for the perfectly sunny evening, and lots of sweet photos.
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!
A high school senior guy’s photos that incorporate electric guitar, Mr. Rogers, and skateboarding!? What else could you want!!! Max is one of the most cool high school dudes I’ve had the joy to photograph and we had a blast exploring downtown Des Moines on a warm and overcast afternoon in the fall!
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!
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!
Hannah brought so much life and fun into her senior picture session! We laughed so much that we had to try to give our faces a break. It's crazy to think that I used to babysit her & her siblings when they lived in Cedar Falls. A few years ago, I photographed her older brother's senior photos and it was finally her turn in front of the camera!
