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

It is crazy to me that I’ve been photographing this family so long that I don’t even remember the exact year. I think they only had 4 kids at the time and Coby was only 6 months or so? Maybe 2013? At any rate, Madi is now staring down her last year of college and Parker, his last year of high school, so you’ll see him here on the blog for his senior photos this month! And somehow, we’ve managed to go to a different location for each of their family sessions each year. The other miracle surrounding this family is that they always beat me to the location (how they get 7 people ready ahead of singleton me, I will never know) AND we always laugh our way through photos to the point that it doesn’t even feel like work to me. Truly, always a joy!

We took a little bit of a walk through Raccoon River area and landed this amazing spot that showed their reflection perfectly:

Jeremy & Christie : I’m so thankful for you! Your joy, laughter, faith and hearts are absolutely beautiful to be around. Thank you for your support of our family, my business and most importantly, your friendship. We will definitely hit you up on the pool invite soon!

All the best,

Carrie
