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 week rounds up with yet another family I’ve photographed since their oldest was an infant! Graham and my oldest daughter are the same age, our middle kids are dubbed “the blondie twins” and our third kids? Well, they’re the wild card! 🙂

Amanda is so good at scouting new locations and this year, when she recommended Greenwood Park, she probably didn’t imagine I’d have us go off-roading into the ditch with the beautiful white flowers in full bloom. We didn’t even make it to the park she suggested and I love that she trusted me with the decision. When you have a client/friend who follows you up a steep muddy hill in wedges, you know that you’ve hit gold as a photographer.

Enjoy your scroll!

Graham, Blaine and Vaughn wear HUGE smiles and because we’ve had our kids play together, they will follow me up a steep, muddy hill too. 🙂 Their goofiness is such a bright spot in my day and makes for hilarity throughout our session together. When I told Amanda that the roses were in bright bloom, we went for it and forgot all about Greenwood Park!

I included some outtakes because they are just as precious as the ones that will probably go on the wall. Someday, these boys won’t want to be within several feet of each other, let alone with arms around each other, so I’m going to soak up these favorites of mine for awhile!

Have a fantastic summer Amanda & Trevor – you’re raising three amazing young men!

Much love,

Carrie
