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

To be honest, we weren’t sure how enthusiastic Hanah was about having her senior shoot. But we did know one thing: She loves art. We started at the Art Center, her happy place, where her own work is on display in the education section of the Center and Hanah brought different supplies with her to feature this particular interest in her life. When the first several shots right out of the can (as they say) looked like she’d been modeling most of her life, I knew we’d be just fine.

We were walking away from the Art Center for an outfit change and noticed the smell in the air : rain was definitely coming. We smelled it before we saw it approaching from the west and knew we had to move fast. Thankfully, Hanah was a bonafide model after the first 20 minutes of our time together and she rocked it!

True to Iowa-form, the rain held off after just a few sprinkles and went to our south while we were downtown. I love what we were able to feature of Hanah’s interests so that she felt comfortable BEING confident on camera. Hanah-I am so proud of you! I can’t wait to see what you do after graduation and I know your parents will keep me posted!

All the best, my famous Artist,

Carrie
