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!

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 the gorgeous 2016 Ankeny High School senior Courtney who was amazing to work with. We did have to reschedule twice but the third time was a charm…Iowa thunderstorms are so unpredictable. They also wanted to get some sister pictures, so they paid a bit extra so I could capture not only being sisters but also their friendship.  Thank you Courtney for being so great about the heat and crazy unpredictable weather. In the end we ended up with so many amazing images. Good luck with your senior year!

This is 2016 Ankeny High School senior Kate, who may have had the hottest night of the summer for her senior session. The session started out with a heat index of 106 but you would never know by her pictures it was that hot out, she was amazing and  kept a positive addditude the whole time…now if you would of seen a picture of me after this session you would know it was hot out, dripping in sweat is not a good look for any photographer. Kate is going to Creighton University to play soccer after high school so we wanted to do something different representing that with a mix of urban and soccer. Thank you Kate for being so good about the heat. You have such an amazing future ahead of you! Kate_8_of_20_ Kate_12_of_20_ Kate_18_of_20_ Kate_4_of_20_ Kate_10_of_20_ Kate_15_of_20_ Kate_19_of_20_ Kate_16_of_20_ Kate_7_of_20_ Kate_13_of_20_ Kate_20_of_20_ Kate_17_of_20_ Kate_3_of_20_ Kate_5_of_20_ Kate_14_of_20_
