{An Ice Cream Soirée Themed Senior Photoshoot}

This year’s TEAM 26 styled session was truly one for the books! After months of planning, dreaming, and collaborating with some incredibly talented women, it all came together in the sweetest way! A dream themed session come true!

We started the afternoon getting glam with the help of two amazing beauty artists, Emerald from Bare Beauty and Addi from Addi’s Chair, who made sure each girl felt beautiful and fully pampered. Then came the fashion magic! Nicole from Glow Algona styled every single look to perfection. The bright summer colors, fun accessories, and pops of personality she pulled together made the girls feel like they walked right out of a magazine shoot!

But the star of the show? The cutest pink ice cream truck from The Outside Scoop, which came all the way from Ankeny just for us! The minute the girls saw it pull up, the energy was electric! And the ice cream?? PHENOMENAL. I’m not exaggerating when I say it might be the best I’ve ever had! Their salted caramel will live in my dreams forever!

To top it all off, Jill, the sweetest driver and partner of the company, ended the session with words of encouragement I’ll never forget. She shared with the girls that three young women in their twenties recently acquired the business and reminded them to never give up on their dreams. It was such an empowering moment that left a lasting impact on all of us.

This group of 10 incredible seniors have formed such a tight bond, and it absolutely shows. They’re not just teammates…they’re real, genuine friends. There was so much laughter, joy, and pure fun throughout the entire day that my cheeks still hurt from smiling! I say this every year, but this team truly feels special in a whole new way. Watching them hype each other up, cheer each other on, and simply enjoy every minute together reminded me exactly why I love this experience so much!

To Bare Beauty, Addi’s Chair, Glow Algona, and The Outside Scoop…thank you from the bottom of my heart for going above and beyond and making this day so special. You helped create not just beautiful photos, but unforgettable memories for these girls…and I’m beyond grateful.

Here’s to TEAM 26 and all the magic we’ve made this year!
