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

You first met Nora when she was

freshly arrived

to the world and her creative Mama Lindsay had some great things up her sleeve to celebrate, this time, the first anniversary of her birth. I merely got to be a spectator at the party with a fancy camera. I loved Lindsay’s laid-back ideas and I couldn’t help but think that some day, she will be buttoning up a wedding dress on Nora:

 Now for the somewhat tricky part: getting a great expression from a 1 year old and a 4 year old at the same time. They did fabulously!!

Aaaaaand, let them eat cake!

 Clint cut a slice for Simon to have while Nora was the center of attention. And it was here that we discovered the exact thickness of the cake’s frosting. At least an inch!

Lindsay + Clint: Thank you so much for having me again! I love working with your family, but more importantly, being your friend. It’s awesome to think that our girls will get to bond over Trivia Nights and Settlers of Catan. 

Looking forward to it!

Carrie
