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 family burst on the scene in front of my camera with a super creative take on a shoot involving two English teachers. Since that first session, we’ve highlighted their love of the Cardinals, enjoyed the Art Center, mixed it up with some urban settings downtown. Even as I’m looking through their old shoots, how is it that this is their FIFTH session with me already?! Wow, their kids have grown so much! Keaton is going to be a junior, Reece a fifth grader, Aidan a seventh grader and Ms. Spit-Fire Ella will be a third grader. Holy cow!! My goal coincided with Beth’s: follow the glowy light and catch as much of it as we could!

After the balancing act on the tree trunk, we landed safely on the ground and chased the sun a little bit more:

Chris + Beth: You guys are so wonderful. Thank you so much for supporting my business, supporting my teaching, supporting our family. I am so thankful for your friendship, leadership and example to both Gerard & myself. Words just don’t do it justice, but thank you!

Best of everything for the start of this school year!

Carrie
