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

Boy, did we luck out with the weather, the blooms and the timing on this one! I’m so thankful for Kelsey + Greg’s flexibility and willingness to come down to Norwalk where there were beautiful blooms ready and waiting for them and the weather finally cooperated. These two have been a breath of fresh air & laughter every time we get together and I love that our families (aka the kids) get along really well so that the adults can visit about Life. 🙂

If you are a photographer and are looking for some continuing educational resources, I highly recommend Katelyn James. The knowledge she has given to the photography community helped me SO MUCH on this shoot when it came to finding the right light with a weird topographical setting and strategically cropping any distractions out of the background in camera to make editing easier/faster. When the family is this adorable and great to work with, it’s easy to focus on the light and compositions!

Greg & Kelsey : Thank you so much for your friendship and trust. Gerard & I are always grateful and encouraged after spending time with you and I’m excited to see how our kids grow and change over the coming years.

Happy Mother’s Day!
Carrie
