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’d been around 5 years since I’d seen this family all together so I was excited to meet the newest member of the bunch and document this stage of their lives. Laura contacted me to set up a date and miraculously, we found one that worked for all parties involved! Her nephews were a ball of energy and loved watching the ducks as we waited for the rest of the group to arrive: 

Once everyone was present and accounted for, we walked farther into Waterworks and found some shade. Once we got the whole group, we broke it down into different configurations:

Laura and Everyone!! Thanks so much for having me out to document this stage of your lives! It’s so fun for me to see everyone grown so tall (and meet one that didn’t even exist!) since last time. I wish you nothing but the best for your school year and fall season!
Blessings, 

Carrie
