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

Challenge : bring a tired educator to her family photo shoot and help her feel gorgeous, stunning & queen for roughly 40 minutes, without her feeling the oppressive heat & humidity that is Iowa this month (holy heck it’s been HOT!). Ali’s kids, Charlie & Molly were awesome and Rob was on board with everything & trick in the book to get their kids to smile & be goofy. We stayed in the shade of the Art Center and stayed in roughly a 10ftx10ft area and knocked out a bunch of options in about 40 minutes with a lovely breeze.

Challenge Accepted. Mission Accomplished! 🙂 Ali-I don’t know how you escaped the Teacher Bags under your eyes or the grey hairs that have cropped up on my head. NO ONE would know you taught kindergarten in a pandemic! Rob, you are one lucky fella. 😉

Rob + Ali: Thank you so much for coming back again and again! We will definitely take you up on the pool-side offer this summer and I hope that you have a relaxing and rejuvenating summer!

Best,

Carrie
