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

It didn’t dawn on me until the end of our time together, but little Miss Sadie has been in front of my camera since she was in the womb! So it stands to reason, that it’s time for her sibling, currently in utero, to be photographed as well. This session had another reason to celebrate too-the whole Pettit family is now residing in Des Moines! What a blessing to have family close. Definitely something worth documenting!

Ashley has scouted a few locations for me in the past and she hasn’t disappointed me yet! I trust her art-major eye and it works out beautifully every time.

After we’d done the larger family groups, we focused on just Jeffrey, Ashley, & Sadie:

Jeffrey, Ashley and all the Pettits: Thank you so much for having me back again! It was a pleasure to get to know more of Jeffrey’s family and celebrate with you that you’re all in the same vacinity.  I hope we’ll be seeing more of each other in the coming years!

Blessings, 

Carrie
