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 is another session that was pretty special to me and my business. I’ve been photographing Joe since 2009 and his mom was the first to offer me payment for my services. Miriam was the first to believe in my skill set and see that it held value. This was the spark that set off the Carrie Krupke Photography, LLC that you see before you today. I have since photographed Miriam’s family and her extended family, including her parents, for their 55th wedding anniversary. It was that anniversary session that we photographed at her parents’ house where Miriam and her family now live and we started Joe’s session there. Among the many gardens that Miriam’s dad has planted in honor of various family members.

Here are some of Joe’s favorites from our time together!

While Joe chose to keep his outfits simple-just one!-we did put his hat collection on display with his favorites throughout…

Miriam + Joe (& Sean): Thank you so much for believing in me, my abilities and seeing worth in it so many years ago. It’s truly an incredible feeling to know that someone values what you do and trusts you with so many milestones in their family’s history. Joe-best of luck with your senior year! I’m excited to see where you land after graduation-I know I will hear all the updates from Mom. 😉

All the best,

Carrie
