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

Their youngest is now NINE! I photographed her when she was a fresh newborn and was floored that Laura looked impeccable so soon after birth in a flowy white dress for their family shoot. In what will feel like the blink of an eye, I’ll be photographing their oldest’s senior photos!! I’m so grateful for families that keep coming back and I’m pretty sure that Billy keeps coming back excitedly to these sessions because of the kisses he gets (from Laura) during the shoot! 🙂

Billy teaches in the Des Moines Public School District and Laura is a Respiratory Nurse, so to say that these two parents have been through a LOT in this pandemic is an understatement. I’d hear on the news, stories of nurses sitting with COVID patients in their last moments, being Family for them, but didn’t know that I knew a nurse doing that very thing. I felt unworthy of being in their presence and had no words-my jaw was ready to catch flies.

Enjoy Billy’s Beauties!

We snagged individuals of each daughter-Victoria, Morgan, Violet (Meow!) and Tess (who still has those lashes from when she was a fresh newborn) 🙂

Laura + Billy: You two are absolutely amazing. I’m honored to know you, photograph you, and watch your gorgeous family grow up to be incredible young adults. Thank you for your support of all those around you in your career fields and of my business. Best wishes on a relaxing, less busy/stressful, summer!

All my love,
Carrie
