Des Moines Senior Photographer

Beautiful senior portraits you’ll love today and enjoy in your home for years to come.

Senior year is full in the best way.

Between activities, friends, and everything this season brings, it goes by quickly.

From the very beginning, you’ll be guided through every step of the senior portrait process, from location ideas to natural posing, so your teen feels comfortable in front of the camera and can truly enjoy the experience.

The result is a collection of portraits that feel true to who they are, look beautiful in your home, and capture this season in a way you’ll always be thankful for.

Hey there! I’m Wendy - a Christ follower, wife, and mom to 2 boys.

I’ve been photographing seniors for over 10 years, and I love it just as much today as when I started. I love getting to know each senior and creating images that feel natural and true to who they are.

My goal is simple: to make the entire experience relaxed, fun, and easy, so your teen feels confident and you walk away with portraits you truly love.

This is going to be FUN!

From pre-session planning to a fun-filled session out on location (with lots of laughs and plenty of snacks of course!), everything is designed to feel easy, relaxed, and enjoyable.

I’ll keep things moving so your teen feels confident and comfortable, and a couple weeks later, we’ll meet to choose your favorite images and turn them into beautiful artwork for your home.
