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

Oh the blessings of being TWO! Miss Ava is such a cutie and her mom, Jen, plans props and clothing options so well for each session we’ve done. When a two year old is in the mix, we never know what will happen and this session, much like Laidy’s 2yr session, became all about the candid shots to document the age and stage. It looks like this session was done at night, but it was really just storm clouds rolling through to our north-we totally missed any precipitation! Whew!

We had fun using their little red wagon, bubbles, sticks, the playground…all sorts of fun things that come with being TWO!!

Off to the playground we go! This particular photo makes her look so determined. 🙂

One last candid: 

Jen + Jason: You guys are doing great! I have been told to enjoy the twos and threes because it’s so fun to start having full on conversations, start reasoning with and really playing hard with your kiddo. Ava is a doll and I love photographing her, no matter the age, attitude or stage! Have a wonderful summer!!

Blessings, 
Carrie
