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

By now, you’ve probably watched their kids grow up on this blog! Greg + Kelsey are friends of our’s and fellow teachers. Greg is also a City Councilman for West Des Moines and my nearby all-things-politics-friend. Their kids stair-step our’s in ages and we always have a great time when together.

This particular morning, we tried out a new park, to me, and explored a few different areas before the heat and the bugs started attacking. What I didn’t notice at the time, is that the trees’ branches behind them created a heart shape! See if you catch it:

A few of the whole family – man have the kids grown since last time! (Kelsey’s heels don’t count… 😉 )

Kelsey + Greg – This may have been our quickest session to date – the kids did SO well! Maybe they were motivated by breakfast, but I’m super proud of the young people you are raising. You’re doing a great job – their teachers and the world will thank you! Congrats on your reelection, Greg – you’re doing good things for West Des Moines. We’ve got to get the families together before school starts!!
Best,

Carrie
