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

Usually, when Luke’s dad walks into my classroom, it’s usually because I’ve called an SOS to the Tech Department for something amiss with my laptop. So, when he asked me to photograph Luke’s senior photos, I was floored, “I can actually help YOU?! And Luke’s a senior already!?” We started off at the stadium to document his cross country & track career.

While I was shooting this next series with Luke in his tux, Tim muttered under his breath, “Bond, James Bond.” Karla & I just had a ball-it is so fun to work alongside this family!

We headed to some nature-y areas around Des Moines & then ended in Luke’s backyard, because when your backyard has gorgeous rolling golf greens, that’s a “yes, please!”

Luke has this quiet way about him, just like his parents both. Calm, steady, cool under pressure and if you don’t watch out, he’ll catch you off guard with some zinger one-liners.

Luke, Tim & Karla-Thank you so much for entrusting this season of your life to me. You grace & understanding means so much and I’m so thankful that I get to work with such wonderful Warriors!

Have a great summer!

Carrie
