Here is the Boatwright family that I have photographed a few times now, and can not tell you how much I love hanging out with them. They wanted to go with a fun edgy urban style so I came up with a few new spots for them, thinking we might have nailed this one. Love how these turned out for them!

Sam_6_of_12_

What a fun photo shoot this was for Sam’s senior pictures. She is an amazing singer, loves to play the piano, and is involved in show choir so we wanted to represent her greatest love! She found an old microphone so we could do some vintage urban style images along with doing some on the stage. We also located one of the old pianos that are located through out downtown Des Moines and let her have at it while I snapped away. Thank you Sam for being so willing to brainstorm with me to come up with these fun images! Good luck next year in college!

This is Hannah who is an Ankeny high school 2016 senior, who was a gem to work with. She was so easy going and up for all of my crazy ideas…such as making her change into her basketball uniform in a dirty alley because I found the perfect spot and we were quite aways from the cars and any place to change…she was a trooper and did not blink an eye. I loved working with her and her family, was lucky to photograph her family this fall for family picture too. Thank you Hannah for being such a great sport, and good luck in the future!

This is Ellie who is not only gorgeous and so sweet, but also extremely photogenic. Ellie is a 2016 high school senior from Perry.

Thank you Ellie for being a blast to photograph, good luck next year at University of Iowa! You have such a bright future!
