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

I will readily admit that there are some nerves as we venture out of the house, beyond our front yard for more than a walk around the block and drive in a vehicle for more than just groceries. I am so impressed, humbled & honored that I have clients who are willing to get out of their own comfort zones and not only be in front of a camera for a venture out of the house but do so while pregnant & with a complete stranger! (in a safe, social-distancing “new normal”)

Lydia & Tim were so amazing and rocked their time together with me. Lydia-thank you for taking a chance on a word-of-mouth referral during a pandemic of all things while pregnant with your first child. I sit here just shaking my head in disbelief! Tim-you are an expert nuzzler and I can only imagine how great of a supporter you are while Lydia is working hard to grow a human! You guys are simply the best and I’m so thankful to have our paths cross-can’t wait to meet Baby in July!

Lydia was game for some walking (gotta keep those hips from getting stiff!) so we explored my favorite bike trail some more for different uses of the morning light we had. Thank you for willing to venture to new places with new people, you guys!

Lydia & Tim: We avoided the bicyclists, the bugs, the heat and you guys nailed advanced posing like professionals. I’m so proud of you, of us and I’m just so thankful.

See you in July!

Be Well,

Carrie
