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 few photo sessions that we’ve done with these boys that haven’t in some shape or fashion involved a playground. It is usually used as a carrot to dangle in front of Carson and Brecker. But this time, we used it as an opportunity to warm up to the location and warm up physically, as it was quite blustery on this particular afternoon. 

Then, we got down to business….

While meandering through Raccoon River Park area, I found a spot that already had some hay bales out, so we ventured over…

A few last ones of our climbing monkeys 😉 

Nick + Elaine, 

Thank you for coming back again and again! You guys were such troopers in the chilly weather and I think we came out shining much brighter than the sun from that day. 🙂
Blessings!
Carrie
