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

Jess + Ben’s wedding day was a beautiful celebration of love and family, so it only seems fitting that their family sessions with sweet Ellie & Baby Boy on the way would be too. We met downtown and Ellie faced (and conquered!) a nervousness around water in addition to flashing smiles my way. I’d call that a successful morning!

A quick outfit change and Ellie continued to rock the smiles and shower her gorgeous Mama with love (and make her laugh):

The sun was peeking over the downtown skyline, but we managed a few quick ones before it got too hot and it gave Ellie even more reason to dip her chunky toes in the cool water!

Ben + Jess: You guys are awesome! I’m so thankful that I get to watch your family grow and am super excited to meet the Little Mister next month!! All the best on delivery, recovery and transitioning to a family of FOUR!

Blessings,
Carrie
