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

When the image below is the first shot of the session, you know it’s going to be a winner! I had the honor of photographing Jonanne & Alex’s wedding day a whopping SIX years ago and they now have a 2-year old! I will always remember Alex’s speech at their reception and how his excitement to spend the rest of his life with Jonanne brought him to tears-especially when he talked about having a family. It is so fun to see that deep desire of his heart (& Jonanne’s) become a reality and photograph it! Enjoy Benson’s spunk-I sure did!

I wonder where Benson gets his spunk….;)

Jonanne-I hope you know just how gorgeous of a human and mother you are. What a sweet trio you’ve got!

Alex + Jonanne: I’m so glad we were able to capture your sweet family! I’m so thankful for you both, your trust in me and your friendship. Your condolence card, Jonanne, that you sent after Dad passed is one that will stick with me forever. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and care.

Much love,

Carrie
