SENIORS
Senior photos, just like so many other things in the era of “share and compare”, have morphed into quite a spectacle. I’m not into displays of grandeur that don’t actually have anything to do with YOU.
My hope for you as you step into that vulnerable space in front of my camera is that you feel comfortable with me and confident in who you are. Will it be a little bit awkward at first? Yeah, it likely will. But I'll ensure you get comfortable enough to open up and shine. I want to know what makes you smile, and laugh, and feel like the best version of yourself. Bring a friend or family member (or both!) with you! The more the merrier.
I can’t wait to show you just how beautiful you really are.
Full galleries available upon request.
“I went into the experience feeling flustered and nervous. As soon as my session began, Haverlee eased my nerves. It was a wonderful experience. I knew she would be able to bring out my inner beauty, but my pictures exceeded any expectations I had. She is extremely talented and comfortable to be around. She will listen to your vision and bring out who you are and create magic with you.”
- Madeline, class of 2019

Senior Pricing
Pricing includes 90 minutes at the location of your choice in the Des Moines area, and your online gallery of high resolution images to download, print, and share.
Each additional half hour is $150.
I recommend a 90 min session for 3 outfits, and a two hour session for 4-5 outfits. I’ll chat with you about your vision for your photos and can recommend the time frame to allow us to carry out that vision.


Let's chat!

“Haverlee was wonderful during my daughter’s senior pictures! My daughter was nervous getting started, and Haverlee gave her so much confidence! The ideas she had and the risks she took equaled phenomenal photographs. Haverlee is an extremely talented photographer and a joy to work with. ”

Chloe & Charles after a rainstorm in Iowa.
A slow burn from meeting in middle school to dating in high school, and now the absolute sweetest couple engaged to be married. These two were so chill and sweet and such a joy to photograph. Can’t wait to document the next big milestone in their love story. ✨
This Des Moines wedding didn’t go perfectly according to plan. There were several snafus that will one day be funny stories. But my goodness, it was wonderful. So many happy tears. I’m so lucky to have been in the room for this one. They are wildly precious people surrounded by so much love and care.
Congrats, Mr. & Mrs. Dineen. You have a wonderful life ahead of you. 🥂

FAQ’s that don’t actually matter:
• What kind of equipment do you use? (The professional kind.)
• What’s your photography style? (Depends on the light.)
• Have you shot at our venue before? (A pro will scope things out beforehand and quickly know how to identify the best spots for portraits.)
FAQ’s that matter a LOT:
• How do you ensure our photos are safe? (Dual card slots should be recording simultaneously. Photos should be kept in two different places and stored safely until uploaded and delivered, including for destination weddings. I never leave all cards in a car in case of theft.)
• Can we see a full gallery? (Some photogs have good work to share on socials but aren’t as confident in low light or less than attractive getting ready spaces. Be leery of only pretty photos from styled shoots.)
• Can we hop on a FaceTime call or meet in person? (You absolutely must gel with your photographer’s personality and energy. This is equally as important as their work.)
• Do you have reviews we can read? (You betcha.)
Those four Q’s should be pretty foolproof in ensuring a good experience. 🥂
Last Saturday’s wedding in Des Moines with Jadyn & Peyton was so much fun. 🥲 They’re grounded and kind and their families blew me away. I love love love getting to know my clients better through their families on their wedding day, and their parents did a lot of bragging about these two. Their moms are so special! 🥹 I’m thrilled for them and it was such an honor to witness it all.

The precious Wright family with the first of the summer wildflowers in Iowa. Life with toddlers is so far from perfect but it’s so beautiful. It was an honor to capture this fleeting stage for them.
