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

July of 2006, it felt like we were old friends even though we’d just met. I was dating a friend of her’s from high school and Jessica was so open and honest that I knew I could be myself around her. I’ve been married to her friend for seven years now and I am so thankful that Gerard introduced me to Jessica, not just because I get to photograph her darling family, but because she really has such a soft, compassionate, heart for those that come in to her life. 

I can’t fail to mention her other half, Tim, who has helped grow their family from 2 darling girls to now, FOUR awesome kiddos. For their family session, we started with their posse, including freshly added Quinn. I also have to mention the lone male: Colton. We may not have had a ton of smiles from him that day, but the hilarious expressions he did toss my way completely incapsulates his personality.

Tim & Jessica were so fabulous and willing to go exploring. We met in a gravel lot near a bike trail, not knowing how long of a walk it’d be to our destination. Tim & Jessica didn’t sweat it and off we went. 🙂 

I absolutely love how London holds onto Colton’s suspenders to keep him near his sisters. What a hilarious dude! He even has a signature walk and grimace. 🙂

Tim + Jessica,

Thank you so much for being willingly adventurous and for the mile trek to the bridge! Never sure how that will go over with a family of six, but you guys did great and I’m so pleased with the results. I love photographing your family, but I love your family (period) very, very much. We’ll see you in December!
Blessings,

Carrie
