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 LOVE this family’s spunk! It was so much fun jam-packed into Michelle and Chris’ mini session, that the 20 minutes just flew.  I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know this fellow teacher from Norwalk High School and her familia. Luka, Carolina and Harper probably keep life pretty interesting in the best of ways (notice the bright pink shoes on Harper? LOVE IT!) and they definitely turned on the charm for their close ups with me:

The formula seems to work well-to get the family photos done first and then break it down to give the kiddos a respite while Mom & Dad get an updated shot of themselves. #existinphotos

Chris + Michelle-Thank you so much for taking a risk with me, someone you don’t know from Adam, and nailing it. I had a ball with your family and I hope it’s the start of seeing you on a more regular basis!!

Blessings on your school year!

Carrie
