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

I am so proud of the young man that Colin has become. I could write paragraphs upon paragraphs about this guy but it really is summed up in that first sentence. His head is on straight, his priorities are lined up well and he has a vision for what he wants to do after high school. That vision is big picture right now and he trusts that the Lord will make it clear each step of the way. I am so impressed by his thought process, calm demeanor and how he takes things like a pandemic in stride.But, there I go with a paragraph, when really, all you need is that very first sentence….

Did I mention, this guy’s got some serious style!? Yes, Colin, always go for the glasses.

Colin wanted his senior session to be short & sweet. I’ve always wanted to photograph this spot and his red hair was the perfect accessory to it. The photographer in me was ecstatic, the mature high school guy in Colin was at least agreeable and enjoyed making his first album cover. 😉

Colin-Thank you for allowing me the honor of photographing you! Gerard & I love your family dearly and we are excited for your future plans of bringing the Gospel to intimidating countries (I think you used the word “closed” countries, and to me, that’s intimidating!) Thank you for your bravery in that work & always keep us posted on your endeavors.

All the best and be well!

Carrie
