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 have photographed Tyler with his mom throughout his life a few times. But I was still shocked when Jennifer contacted me for his senior photos-really?! Already?! Time flies when you’re having fun! Tyler is my lone Ankeny representative this season and I’m proud of what we created both at his stadium and downtown.

Take a look:

We headed downtown and while I told our carpooling entourage where I was headed, I also spied some amazing light in another spot, so we ended up trekking a block or two to chase it. I’m so thankful for their flexibility and trust in my crazy ideas!

Tyler has turned into a great poser! He jokingly confided that he’d practiced his different facials for hours the night before. 🙂 I’d say whatever amount of practice he did definitely paid off!

Tyler, Jennifer, & Blake: Thank you so much for trusting me with this part of Tyler’s senior year! Hard for me to believe it’s here and what it will look like, but I’ll be sending prayers your way for Friday Night Lights and safety throughout the school year. Tyler-you will do amazing things no matter what life (or CO-VID) throws your way. I think our nation’s young people will develop a resiliency & innovation unsurpassed because of this opportunity we have to look at everything in a different & new way. Keep me posted on your UNI plans-I want to celebrate with you!!

Be Well,

Carrie
