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 still surreal to me that this session happened, not just that it happened in my office, but that KayDee & Cory are parents! This little full-term nugget took 24 hours to enter the world, struggled a smidge in the NICU, but fought hard and came home with rousing success. While it delayed our newborn session by a few days, KayDee & Cory are rocking the Parent label and Joshua slept through our entire time together. I’m loving a more laid-back approach to newborn sessions and capturing his little details, authentic snuggles with Mom & Dad and even a few smiles right out of the gate! 

Enjoy!

We brought KayDee in for a few and I think she’d be this natural of a Mama even if she hadn’t had several nieces and nephews prior to having her own child. Totally comfortable in her own skin and completely soaking in this newborn season of life. 

Joshua just kept on snoozin’, so we brought Cory in for full family and then got several of just the men: 

It was by this time that Joshua let us know it was time to eat, so we called it a wrap and KayDee used our nursery room (Lochlyn’s bedroom) before then skirting out to celebrate a dear friend’s Bachelorette Party/Day! Like I said, they’re rockin’ this Parenting Label and it’s such a gift to watch my bridal couples become parents!

KayDee & Cory: Thank you so much for allowing me the joy of documenting this stage of your lives! Joshua is precious indeed and I know he’s so blessed to have you as parents. I hope you’re getting more sleep and that recovery continues to go smoothly! 

Blessings, 
Carrie
