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

I don’t even know where to begin with this family. As I’ve taught their oldest for going on three years-her sense of humor often brightens my day and we can converse till the cows come home (or in our case, until the bell rings for the next class). So, it’s no wonder that if Eva is such an awesome young lady, she had to get it from somewhere…enter Patricia & Scott. (And little bro, Eli). 

We started our time together at Iowa’s capitol building in downtown Des Moines and worked our way around the campus, while avoiding Homecoming high schoolers and wedding parties posing for photo ops as well…

just the kiddos…

I wasn’t sure if I’d get a good smile out of Scott at the start of our session, but he totally hammed-it-up for the walking photos and worked the camera for some awesome candids! Well done!!

Patricia + Scott: Thank you so much for the honor of photographing your awesome family! I always enjoy getting to know my students’ families better and seeing where they get their personalities from. Patricia-thank you for taking such good care of our community’s health and well-being! And Scott: thank you for smiling!!! 😉

Blessings, 

Carrie
