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

Sitting in the car waiting for the Man of the Hour to arrive, a truck pulled up and it was the type of situation where I just didn’t want to be seen! Face the other way, face the other way…and then he won’t see me……oh wait, it’s Soren’s Dad! Silly me. Gradually, Soren’s entourage arrived: Dad from the gym, Mom from work and finally, Soren himself with Auntie M. I know it takes a village, but this was a prime example of it.

The Honoree had several ensembles from which to choose. First, since it was, in fact, Halloween, we kept him in this little onesie:

Not only paying homage to Halloween, we also payed homage to the World Series. Soren may be one of the Cardinals’ youngest fans:
Then we got into some “just chillin'” clothes for the comfy ride home. Soren’s mama is really good at accessorizing and I wanted to highlight that in several of our photos this shoot.
It’s crazy-awesome to see your reflection in a child’s eyes. Literally.
It’s also really awesome to photograph a baby with eyelashes for miles…
I LOVE photographing a baby at his happiest!

Now, who was getting him so happy-excited on this shoot? Auntie M! Her reward for all her hard work? Photos of course!

Chris & Stacy: Thanks so much for having me twice in a year. Coming back again and again is the highest compliment you could ever give me. THANK YOU. Excited to see what this little champ looks like for his 9month photos!
