Yabsira Des Moines Senior Session | Des Moines Senior Photographer

Yabsira is graduating this year and realized she wanted to schedule a session after seeing some of her classmates photos! So for all you seniors who think April is too late for senior photos it definitely is not. Plus I can guarantee you won’t regret the memories you make during your session :) We met up at a local downtown shop that is basically a mini jungle to kick off her session. Luckily the rain decided to hold off and we finished with a second outside location. Yabsira told me she was nervous in the beginning, but was totally posing herself by the end. Which is one of the reasons I love photographing seniors. Giving them confidence through simple prompts and empowering posing does so much for a person’s self esteem. Yabsira was practically glowing by the end 😊 Scroll thru to see for yourself!

Let’s talk about Yabsira’s outfit choice for a minute. I love that she chose to combine polka dots and stripes in her look. I’m a big fan of stripes (check my closet for proof) and love seeing them at sessions.

The thing I loved most about her outfit was that it was bold, but classic at the same time.

The patterns are both great on their own, but the combinations of them together wins major style points in my book. The reason this works so well is because they are complimentary black and white. Meaning her top looks more white and her pants are predominately black.

The pairing of gold hoop earrings, bracelet, and accent on her shoes also makes the look that much more polished.

So this is my little encouragement to you bold seniors. Don’t be afraid to have fun with your outfit and accessories! 😊

Yabsira and her cousin agreed that typically she is pretty silly but she wanted to try and few serious ones and she totally killed them. I mean look at these 😍

Also, you can always expect a few candids from me. I’m a sucker for the real moments, even in senior sessions.

I had a great time getting to know Yabsira during her session and hearing about the final months of her high school career. I can’t wait to see what she does in the future!

To all you 2020 seniors it’s not too early to start thinking about your senior session! 😉👇
