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

There are unexpected perks to any job and when I meet a family for the first time, I never know which perk will be affected by broadening my friendship circles. I photographed Amanda’s family of three last fall and throughout the course of this past year, we’ve become closer than I could have ever anticipated. An email here or there, a lunch break from work, a play date and BOOM! I have a new sister in the Motherhood circle for whom I’m so thankful. 

We met up at Winterset’s City Park this time-Gerard played with Laidy while I photographed Amanda, Trevor & Graham-then Laidy & Graham become Old Chums too. 🙂 

Graham started out a little camera shy and wanted to explore his surroundings, so we did a few of Amanda & Trevor. About a minute into that and Graham wanted in on the action himself and the flirting never waned!

There were so many adorable ones of Graham as he loved to jump, that I just couldn’t choose…

Play date photos at the bottom, but a few more of this cutie-patooty family first!

Amanda + Trevor: I’m so thankful the good Lord put you in our family’s life! I have a hunch that this is the beginning of a wonderful friendship and I’m smiling at the future of our kiddos playing together a bunch. 🙂 

Thankful to be doing life alongside you,

Carrie
