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

This family has gently, but seemingly swiftly, come onto our family’s radar for a myriad of reasons. First, Chris is Gerard’s Principal, then I had the privilege of photographing their family, their daughter attended the same preschool as our children, and now, this fall, Chris will be my Principal as I begin this Digital Photography class at NHS. Beth has been such an incredible resource for me in developing how I want the culture of my class to develop, what order to teach certain concepts…the list goes on and on. Gerard & I admire who they are as educators, parents and how they love as each other’s “lobsters” as Beth would say. 
 

But I digress-here are their downtown photos that were a blast to shoot: 

For a change of scenery, we headed to the opposite side of downtown and I love this family’s playfulness. I can only imagine the antics that occur within their home’s four walls!

Like I said, folks, the antics…;) 

Chris + Beth: Thank you for who you are as a couple, as a family, as educators and most importantly, as friends. Thank you for your flexibility in scheduling and for how committed you are to making awesome photographic ideas come to life. 

Blessings, 

Carrie
