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

Oh, how dear this family is to me! With children practically exactly our own childrens’ ages, they’ve become a family that is “in the trenches” with us. I love Amanda’s sense of style, encouragement, and Trevor and Gerard talk golf and Dad Jokes all the time. They also need to educate me on how to be a Boy Mom-poor Loch just got his first dinosaur figure for his second birthday! Help! #delayedresponse 

Amanda’s sense of great style bled into their family session when she suggested a new park for me to explore and I loved the textures and backdrops we made use of! Thanks friend! 

As much as I loved the shiplap backdrop, we also needed to get the classic sitting in the grass poses and snuggles: 

Definitely had to knock out a few of just Amanda and Trevor: it’s been too long! 

I remember doing a photo similar to the one just above when they were just a family of three anticipating Blaine’s arrival. What a joy it’s been to capture your family, you guys! Here’s to many more times round the sun together! 

Blessings, 

Carrie
