{An Iowa Fall Senior Session}

Some seniors bring an instant burst of sunshine to every room they walk into, and Haley is absolutely one of them! She’s beautiful, funny, and full of the kind of joy that’s completely contagious! As a member of TEAM 26, she’s been the one to make everyone laugh, loosen up, and have fun…and her senior session felt just like that too!

We started the afternoon in the studio for some fun portraits that really brought out Haley’s green eyes before heading downtown for a little variety. Of course, we couldn’t skip a stop at Dairy Queen for a quick treat (and a few photos, naturally!) before they close for the winter. From there, we headed out to Bode’s Moonlight Gardens pumpkin patch (such a fun fall backdrop!) and then made our way to the nature center, where the fall colors were just starting to peek through. It’s rare for so much green to still be around this time of year, but somehow we managed to find just enough fall foliage!

Haley stays busy and creative in so many ways. She’s involved in track, art club, and student council at Bishop Garrigan…always bringing her bubbly energy and sense of style to everything she does. When she’s not in school, she loves hanging out with her boyfriend and her dog, spending time outdoors, or working on her latest craft or art project. She has such an eye for design and fashion, and it’s easy to see how naturally her creative side shines through!

We wrapped up the evening at her grandpa’s shop, a place that holds so many memories for her. I loved ending there, it felt personal and true to who she is. Watching her light up in front of his sign was such a beautiful reminder of how meaningful these sessions can be when they tie back to family and the stories that shape us.

Haley, you are such a joy to photograph! Your energy, kindness, and creativity shine through in every image, and it’s been such a treat having you as part of TEAM 26! I can already see how perfectly your outgoing spirit and love for beauty will fit into your future career in cosmetology and aesthetics! I have no doubt you’ll make people feel as radiant on the outside as you already are on the inside!

See Haley in TEAM 26’s spring mini session and full styled session!
