Nathanael’s ideas were epic! I really enjoyed working with him — and his parents — to plan his senior pictures. They were open to my ideas and brought so many creative ones of their own. He selected a great variety of outfits, and we were able to explore so many amazing places. He comfortable in front of the camera and willing to try new ideas.
Showcasing Nathanael’s passion for music — with his three different instruments — was a big part of this shoot. I love props for any senior session! I have to admit, this was my first time photographing a flugelhorn, and I always enjoy learning about new instruments.
What an honor to be his senior photographer — we had so much fun!
Check out all of the fun locations…
Valley Stadium
Having the entire Valley High School Stadium to yourself is always fun! Nothing embodies high school memories more than photos on the field.
Court Avenue Des Moines
Court Avenue is filled with so many great photo spots! Love the variety of photogenic restaurants and back alleys!!
Urban Des Moines
These older buildings provide the perfect contrast for Nathanael’s classic outfit, and the downtown Des Moines skyline with urban building is a great in the car photo.

Waterworks Park
There are so many great spots at Waterworks park. “Golden hour” photos with Nathanael on his bike was a fun bonus!
