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

When Maddi mentioned that she was looking at a career in Mental Health/Counseling/Social Work, my heart broke for the heartbreak that she will see in her patients. But if any heart can withstand and help others, it is Maddi. She admires anyone who speaks up for themselves and others and a heart like that is the perfect heart for that career field! SO many of my seniors this summer have been former students of mine in the band room and as I’m photographing them, I can’t help but see their 6th grade former self, finding a friend group, growing in confidence, discovering a subject they love.

I love that Maddi has stayed in band and I’m thrilled that she is in the internship program at her high school as a patient companion: sitting with patients in conversation and getting a glimpse of the medical field while working with people.I know she’s going to do an amazing job!!

Now, to her senior photos!

I loved Maddi’s outfits! I really should take a few of my seniors with me when looking to update my wardrobe!

Maddi-I am so thankful you chose me for your senior photos! What a gift to spend time with you again and see how you’ve grown with a vision for your future after high school! You did amazing this particular evening despite heat, humidity, bugs and light/shade challenges-you rocked it!! Keep making music and keep helping people-you have a beautiful heart.

All the best,

Carrie
