Find a mural that fits your style
Des Moines Mural Senior Picture Locations
Outdoor senior sessions in Des Moines offer endless possibilities—but if you want bold, colorful photos that reflect your personality, a mural is a great choice. From playful characters and bike-themed walls to modern geometric patterns and larger-than-life illustrations, murals offer something that traditional backdrops can’t—instant personality and visual energy.
Murals make your senior pictures stand out and reflect your unique personality. Whether you love bold color, street-style vibes, or something more quirky and whimsical, Des Moines has options to match. I’m always scouting new walls in places like Waukee, the East Village, Valley Junction, and other great spots around the metro.

Colorful East Village Mural
The “No Action Too Small Mural” mural in Des Moines’ East Village is a bright, colorful spot for senior photos. Created by Chris Vance, its playful shapes and environmental theme add personality and pop to portraits located at 300 E Locust Street.
Bold & Kind in East Village
Bright and eye-catching, the “Kind is Cool” mural adorns the side of the p7 Design building in Des Moines. With sweeping pink and orange swirls and playful text (“Kind is Cool”), it’s a fun and uplifting backdrop for portraits, located right in the heart of the East Village.
