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

This young lady has her sights set on a life of service whether that’s with a nursing degree or not-she’s headed to the missions field after high school. When your Mom is a rockstar physician’s assistant (and got that degree as a mom to 5 plus fostering babies) you grow up with an incredible example of helping others and caring for them the way Jesus does.

There is such strength in this family & I was hoping to convey that in Allison’s poses & compositions as we worked to incorporate her interests of color guard & soccer. When one of her favorite memories is “working our butts off and making it to state for soccer”, I knew we had to convey power there too. We started at the Art Center & quickly headed down to the Science Center where we also highlighted Allison’s love of skateboarding & bucket hats. This girl dabbles in it all! Enjoy your scroll here today!

When Mom drives a bright green jeep, I felt we needed to use it to give Allison more height to use the downtown skyline in a way I’ve not done before. Jeep, check. Color guard, check. Showcasing color guard while ON A JEEP? Never have I done THAT before! I am thrilled with how well Allison showed her femininity & strength in these poses while balancing ON A JEEP. mic drop

A quick hop to “the bubble lamps” and then NHS’s stadium for soccer fun with Mom, Jamie. 🙂

Ladies-thank you so much for a lovely evening. I hope you’re as thrilled and in love with these photos as I am! I’m so proud of you Allison and I hope to hear updates on your adventures in the missions field post high school. You have quite the legacy of service supporting you and with God, I know all things are possible.

All my best,

Carrie
