My time as a high school teacher taught me how to instantly connect with teens and make them feel comfortable in front of the camera. I love photographing high school seniors all over the Greater Des Moines Metro and Midwest (yes, I’m willing to travel). 

Hi, I'm Carrie

I knew that when we did

Colby’s senior

photos, that it was only the beginning with the Campbell family. Annette is among my top refer-ers and when I let them know that they’d earned a discount off of a family session because of her cheerleading, they jumped on it. Before Colby headed back to UNI for his sophomore year, we squeezed their family session onto both our calenders. And oh man, did we have fun! This family knows how to laugh together and at each other in the healthiest of ways. 🙂

I absolutely love this series with Dave & his bride. She married a man who is and has such a rambunctious family, so to see her slightly shy (or coy?), cuddled up next to her man was nothing short of endearing.

They were so patient with me as I experiemented with sun glare and look at our result! Super pumped.

This is where things started to get slightly silly (photos on the right of this collage)…

We then headed home but not without a quick stop to take advantage of the setting sun:

But a Campbell photo shoot wouldn’t be complete(from what I’m learning) without some cartwheels:

Campbells: It’s always a pleasure spending time with you guys! Thank you so much for letting me photograph your beautiful family and for spreading the word about my photography. You guys are among the best cheerleaders a girl could have!

Blessings,

Carrie
