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

What a world traveler we have here! Braydyn had just gotten back from his Iowa Ambassadors of Music trip to Europe with amazing musicians from his high school and was juuuuuust over the jet lag and ready for his photos with me. Full of tons of stories with the quirks of European restrooms, food selection and navigating public transportation, Braydyn and I chatted through his session and tried to ignore just how hot and murky the air around us was. 😉

We started at the capitol and Judicial Building areas downtown, then made our way south to Grey’s Lake on our way ultimately to end at his high school.

Did I mention the sun was brutal? Braydyn was such a trooper!

Grey’s Lake found us in a few degrees cooler temps and highlighting Braydyn’s Boy Scout involvement, earning his Eagle Award, ending at his high school for his instrumental career.

Braydyn (& mom, Chris) – Thank you for bearing with me in the heat and plowing through to get these done before band camp! Getting to see other areas of the world is SUCH a great asset and fun to experience as a teen – I’m so proud of your musicianship getting you places above and beyond the marching field or walls of a high school. Music is something that you can do your whole life long, anywhere you go, with anyone!

Thankfully, band camp has cooler weather forecasted and I hope you’re enjoying it!

Best,

Carrie
