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

This family is awesome. I have had the pleasure of photographing them several times now and the little ones do fantastic, the parents all help corral them and the grandparents still flirt with each other. Who could ask for more?! 

We started with Jason, Janene and their whole bunch. Both sides of the family grew by one this year within a month or so of each other, so the littlest got the seat of honor with Grandma + Grandpa. From there, we peeled away the Big Kids and let Grandma & Grandpa get some extra snuggles from Madi, Parker, Lily, Coby, Bria, Zoe, Emily, & Lexi. (phew!)

We found another spot around the Art Center and let the kiddos enjoy the square patio area while we broke it down a little bit more from all of them, to their individual photos and then to family units. Don’t worry, no babies were hurt in the making of these photos and parents were just outside the frame on the lookout, promise!

To give the kiddos a quick break, we put Jason + Janene in front of the camera and this is where Jason got his “flirt” on! So cute!!

Gotta love a silly frame to wrap up all their hard work. 😉

Jason, Janene,Christie, Jeremy, Angie & Mike: You are AMAZING!! Thank you so much for your efforts in coordinating outfits, being early to your session, and doing such an awesome job parenting such wonderful kiddos. If only I could be a fly on the wall of your family gatherings over a dinner table…

Can’t wait for the next “house divided” themed session!! (For you non-Iowans reading this, that means part of their family is Iowa State, part Iowa fan base…)
