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

When you have photographed a couple’s engagement, wedding, maternity, & newborn twins, it’s safe to say you have a “Legacy Client”! Those newborn twins have turned 4 years old (on the day of their photo shoot!) and they’ve added a little brother to the mix, so it was definitely time for an update. We picked a quiet location that offers diversity and a place for the boys to get alllllll the wiggles out in between my crazy requests of them to sit still for 2.5 seconds. 😉 We started with individuals of the boys, gathered the whole fam and then went the candid route for these Movers & Shakers! J & A have grown into such handsome little Dudes and it was a pleasure to meet Baby N for the first time!

Did I mention it was Mother’s Day Weekend?! What an awesome gift to give yourself, Jen!

Jen + Jacob – I wish you an amazing summer with your boys! It’s been such a joy to watch your family grow over the years and I’m thankful to have the opportunity to document your sweet family each step of the way.

Always an honor,

Carrie
