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

These girls have grown up in front of my camera and they now range in age from middle school to kindergarten! Laura has completed her medical degree to help heart patients and Billy is faithfully teaching and coaching at the same school as when I met him. To watch this family grow, pursue their dreams and watch their family interact together is truly a gift. We started with just the Billy + Laura’s daughters: Torie, Morgan, Violet and Tess are each gorgeous little women in their own right. And I think Billy is on board with family photos solely because he knows he gets to snuggle Laura for much of it: 

We did a few with the girls and each parent: 

Dads always take the hit don’t they? lol 🙂 We then moved on to the girls’ individual photos:

I absolutely love the last shot of just Billy looking at the camera with his crazy ladies doing their own spunky thing around him. I think he might be the rock in the midst of chaos! Well done good sir! 

Laura + Billy + girls: Thank you so much for your referrals of friends, the clothing hand-me-downs and being just all around awesome people to photograph and be friends with! I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed taking them! 

Blessings on your school year, 

Carrie
