Des Moines Senior Photography
McClanahan Studio
We create the most vibrant and innovative senior photos in Des Moines! We are inspired by the unique vitality of each client and strive to create images that uniquely showcase their inner-awesome. Most importantly, our photoshoots are a ton of fun! Sessions limited to 50/year.
Our senior portraits have been featured in USA Today and awarded #1 in the nation by PPA, Rangefinder Magazine, and Senior Style Guide.
Your Session
Whether you’re looking for something quick simple in the studio or an extravagant day full of your favorite Des Moines locations, we can customize a session to meet your needs. At your session you’ll feel at home with our photographic artist, Dan McClanahan. He is a master of light, angles and humor and will capture images you are guaranteed to love! After your photoshoot, you’ll receive access to a private gallery where you will select your favorite captures for retouching and delivery. Each of our sessions includes a set of professionally retouched, ready-to-share digital images. When your edits are complete, you’ll receive a digital download and a portal to order archival prints from us for the duration of your senior year. No high pressure sales, just beautiful custom artwork at your convenience.
Check out our senior gallery for inspiration, tell us about yourself, or book your session today!
Creative Composites
For the senior that wants something above and beyond, let us create a custom piece of Photoshop artwork to commemorate your milestone! Pitch us your best idea or set up a brainstorming consultation and Dan will bring you to life with the same production treatments he uses for major brands and professional athletes in his commercial work. Creative Composites can be added to any session and must be planned in advance.
Dan was recently named Best Photoshop Artist in the entire USA by the Professional Photographers of America
