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

As I was gearing up for this family’s photo session, I realized that we need to spend more time together. For a multitude of reasons. Don’t you have those friends that you consider kindred spirits but just can’t quite get schedules to line up to do more of Life together? That’s this sweet family for us. I’m determined that this school year will be different in all the right ways and we’ll make this happen Kelsey & Greg, mmmk? 🙂

I’m so thankful we do family sessions first thing in the morning, because this was a sweaty day and we knocked it out by 9am!

The sun was super bright, but that’s what I take photo education classes for: how to leverage it and get what we want no matter the situation. 😉 I love this first one below the best!

Greg + Kelsey: From Trivia Nights for Norwalk PTO to Trivia Nights revealing the genders of your kids, family reunion sessions and preparing photos for Kelsey’s Dad’s funeral and watching your amazing children grow SO much taller every year. It has been a joy of my life to have you as friends and I want you in our lives more-let’s make it happen this year!

All the best on the first day tomorrow!
