“Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful!”

This is Allison! She’s a recent graduate of Belmond-Klemme High School in Iowa and was a member of my Class of 2017 Senior Model Team. Allison is an outgoing person. Not only was she a member of band, thespians, and speech in high school but she also plays the piano, is a Girl Scout Junior Counselor, lifeguard, tutor, and dance assistant. With all those activities she still found time to study hard and graduated with Valedictorian Honors! Now she’s off to college at Iowa State University where she plans to major in animal science then get accepted into the College of Veterinary Medicine and have her own private practice someday.

Since Allison was a model for me, we did quite a few different sessions throughout the year. My favorite photos of her are the ones in her ballerina dance costume. I wanted to do something a little different with that so we hit up an alleyway behind Main Street in Clarion. There’s just something about a ballerina in a white tutu in the middle of a grungy alley!
