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’s increasingly difficult for me to believe that this little peanut is TWO! It doesn’t seem that long ago that I was introduced to her ‘Up’ the movie themed nursery room peppered with butterflies. I love that at each session we’ve had, Stephanie has incorporated butterflies in some way on Ellie-a little light touch of her Mama. 🙂 Right now, however, Ellie is fascinated with rocks and giving them kisses….

This was a quick mini session to just document the stage of her life now at 2 years, so we worked fast and Ellie loved every minute of her seconds in the air:

Even though it was early morning-I love that we captured some catch-lights in Ellie’s eyes. As if those baby blues didn’t sparkle enough already…

Andy + Steph: Thank you so much for coming back again and again! Ellie is such a sweetheart! I always enjoy photographing her. (And you two of course.) 🙂 Best of luck in your new endeavors Stephanie and you both are doing a fantastic job as parents!

Blessings, 
Carrie
