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

Andrea

and I first crossed paths my freshman year at Drake and through mutual friends, our lives have crossed several times since. I think my favorite times with her have been the most recent-seeing her as a mom and watching little Emerson grow into a strapping young lad. This session, we celebrated his first year of life. 🙂

LOVE this expression:

 Nothing like “flying” with Daddy:

 Sometimes, I get the funniest expressions!

 Some natural candids to wrap:

 Adam + Andrea-Thank you so much for trusting me with Emerson’s newborn, 6-month, and now 1-year sessions. Sometimes, the minutes take for.ev.er. but all of a sudden, he’s toddling around and pulling himself up on furniture! You guys are doing a great job-keep it up!!

Blessings,

Carrie
