It was so exciting to photograph Maddie – we got along so well (she’s laid back and no-fuss, just like me!) and it was a blast searching for cool spots around downtown Iowa City with her and her mom! We ended up doing more than one senior session. She wanted to be able to glam up for one and be more herself for another. I can’t wait to show you her other session!!
Trever is a senior at Iowa City West High this year and is a HUGE fan of playing baseball. When I asked him where he wanted to go after he graduated, he said he’d love to go anywhere where he can play the game. We ventured downtown Iowa City for his senior session and we really had a blast! I love photographing senior guys – they’re so laid back! And it’s alway fun when the mom’s tag along (Hi Roma!). I love watching them interact and make their sons laugh. 🙂

Breyton is a high school senior at West High in Iowa City. It’s so fun to photograph senior guys – the locations are different, the poses are different, and the moms come along to give them a hard time. (That’ll be me!) This guy helped his football team get to state and it was a blast taking my family to watch the action!
I can’t wait to see where life takes this young man!

My daughter and I have always had a blast taking photos together since the day I picked up a camera – even when we lived overseas and I had a point-and-shoot (the photos may not have been professional, but I will cherish them forever). She’s growing up way too fast and she amazes me every single day. From being a high school freshman in AP classes, going out for a sport every trimester, making show choir and singing solos on Hancher Auditorium’s stage, and getting really great grades, to being a super sweet person and surrounding herself with awesome kids. I thank my lucky stars she is just the way she is. I’m sad to think she’ll be a senior before I know it.
She wanted to steal a few of my new dresses, put on some pretty makeup (she is an awesome self-taught makeup artist) and play in the studio! I’m so glad we did; I’ll definitely be printing a few of these!

I had such a blast with this beauty! Reece, her moms, dad, and I roamed around the Newbo Market area in Cedar Rapids taking her senior photos. My FAVORITE location after that was at a cute creek nearby – anything near (or in!) water and I’m in heaven. And we were wading in thigh-deep water!
Her style is adorable and effortless! She’s graduating from Cedar Rapids Jefferson High School this year – I’m so excited to see where life takes her!!
Coryne’s high school senior session was so much fun – she has the bubbliest personality and AMAZING dance skills!! I love her style (and her hair!) because it’s so unique – seniors take note! I can’t wait to see where life takes her!
