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

Kear absolutely radiated happiness as she unloaded her precious cargo for our session together. First, Eden, then Brielle (Bri) and as Jackson’s eyes opened, they locked on his gorgeous Mama. A wide, gummy grin stretched from ear to ear and I knew this session just might top the previous two that we’ve done together. What different chemistry a third child can create!

Starting with our adorable ladies, I’m especially biased towards the sisterly relationship….Hopefully, even when they’re teenagers, they will still be hugging each other. 😉

Kearstin was truly stunning and Jackson couldn’t take his eyes off of her.

We then moved to a different spot and broke the family down into different combinations. I always love to highlight Mom & Dad’s love and their relationship because children have a sense of security when Mom & Dad love each other well.

Oh Jackson, the Man of Many Expressions…

Bri & Eden are such Little Ladies:

Kear & Dave (and Little Ones): Thank you so much for such a fun time together, yet again! It has been such a joy to watch you girls grow, change, and gain wisdom in nail polish colors. I can’t wait to see how Jackson merges with your family and develops his own personality.

Many blessings,

Carrie
