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’ve admired

Andrea’s work

from afar-her style and DIY ideas are always idea inspiring for me and my home. So, when she asked if I would take her newborn’s photos, I felt like I got to photograph a celebrity-I’m referring to Emerson, of course. 😉

Andrea and I first met my freshman year of college and second semester, we studied the Bible together with my roommate. Soft spoken, calm, and wise, Andrea was a wonderful friend and was definitely someone I looked up to. Now, fast forward 8 years, marriage to Adam, and an adorable bundle of joy, Emerson.

I loved the ideas that Andrea brought with her and the props that she had made (the hat above) or had on hand (the fuzzy rug above) to give it her personal touch.

However, this one’s just candid Emerson stretching out, enjoying his Mama’s lap and warmth. 🙂

All of Emerson’s little details:

Adam & Andrea-Thank you so much for having me! Emerson is so sweet and was so wonderful to tolerate all our ideas. You both look so comfortable and at home as parents in just 5 days since his birth. Keep up the good work you two, I’m so excited to watch the Little Man grow!!

Blessings,

Carrie
