Just a few minutes away from the bustle of Court Avenue in downtown Des Moines, Waterworks Park is a secluded spot with a variety of options for your senior session. From twirling in a flowy dress to posing with a french horn (see Shreeya’s Senior Session), there’s no shortage of great photo opportunities, including the historic iron bridge along the walking/bike path.
You can sit by the river, bike down a path, or pose with your flugelhorn. (see Nathanael’s Senior Session) Whatever your interests, Waterworks Park offers plenty of variety to create senior pictures that feel like you.
Vivi’s Session included the bridge, nature areas, and golden hour photos. (see Vivi’s Senior Pictures)
Yandel’s Session was in early fall when the leaves were starting to change, giving us a great mix of green with the start of fall yellows. (see Yandel’s Senior Pictures)
The fountain at the park’s entrance is surrounded by vibrant seasonal flowers—from spring to late summer, it’s a picture-perfect spot to add a pop of color to your senior photos! [See What’s the best season for senior pictures?]
Golden hour lighting through the trees makes the perfect backdrop to any session. The seasonal flowers by fountain near the entrance get darker in the fall, matching the rich earthtones of the season.
