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 is the ONLY photo shoot that I’ve arrived to the location ahead of this family and that’s because we carpooled with me leading the way! 🙂 These down-the-street neighbors of mine were already loaded in the car when I made my way down the street : I’m truly in awe of their ability to rally and be ready so early.

I hadn’t been back to Banner Lakes since our own maternity photos last summer and if any family can handle “off roading” or trekking along walking trails to get to a good spot, it’s this family. Most of us donned bug spray and came out the other side unscathed. 😉

I honestly can’t wait to show you the Behind the Scenes from my shooting season this summer and several will be of these awesome kids yawning! When you laugh a bunch and have an intake of so much air, I guess that’s what happens! I wish I had gotten my phone out to record the audio of the first 5 minutes or so – seriously, non stop laughter. Such a joy to hang with Christie & Jeremy’s family with a camera in hand!

Christie + Jeremy : I can’t believe you’ve graduated two of these amazing five kids already! Congratulations, parents!! Thank you so much for your support over the years (decade?!) and the pleasure of living on your street is immense.

You guys are the best!
