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

Emily and Jonathan are Bulldogs at heart, having met in Bible study when Emily was a freshman. Their casual acquaintance turned into a working relationship when asked to organize an event for their church together. This planning led to being on the same 4×4 sand volleyball team for a couple of seasons before they’d make a great team-just the two of them. Emily is an organizational guru. Her timelines for events: smooth & flawless. I can only imagine what her wedding day with Jonathan will look like this summer!

 We went to several different locations for their engagement session and I love the diversity it created for their gallery. While the scenery might have changed a few times, their affection for one another definitely didn’t!

 We hopped over to our church and played with the great natural light that flows from a few of the windows in the building. It was the perfect place for outfit changes too!

We wrapped our session with a view of the Des Moines skyline and despite blustery & chilly conditions, these two worked to keep each other toasty warm!

 Emily & Jonathan: I’m so excited and honored to be photographing your day come June! If the day runs anything like the previous events you’ve planned, I’m expecting great things (with fancier clothing)! 😉

Blessings,

Carrie
