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

With sons 18 months apart, life is never dull, nor does it sit still for long! Amber & Ben run at a rapid pace, keeping up with Beckett and Reid and their jobs in the education field. (Shortly after this session, Ben headed to chaperone homecoming!!) Because their life is never dull, our sessions aren’t either and we had a ball using the capitol as our backdrop for some fun: 

Some day, these photos are going to play at their weddings….

A few candids and then we added in Ben’s side of the family for an extended time together as a gift to his Mom. 

Amber + Ben: Thank you so much for having me and for introducing me to another side of your family! They were a joy to meet and interact with-Happy Anniversary/Birthday Mom!! 

Blessings on your school year, 

Carrie
