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’m pretty sure Laura & her girls will always be well dressed. At least, whenever I see them! She does such a stellar job of matching and coordinating without being too matchy-matchy and her style, admittedly, makes me slightly jealous. 🙂 As they pulled up to our meeting place and the girls started spilling out, a smile grew from ear to ear on my face as I knew they were rearing to go and have fun with my camera.

We started with Little Miss Tess, turning 6 months old and only enjoying sitting up if someone is touching her. These few were taken seconds before the crying started!

Needless to say, she was completely content in Mama’s arms. Look at those lashes!!

We brought in the whole family after taking the girls’ photos:

As we moved to our next spot, I couldn’t resist this image of a proud Mama and her little ducklings, in step with her man.

As someone in a family of all girls myself, I love highlighting all the estrogen here, and the special relationships and interactions it brings.

I think Will has suffered through the heat these past two photo shoots solely because he now knows what comes at the end of them: affectionate time with his wife!

Affectionate time or just plain ol’ silly time, Laura knows how to get a great smile out of Will.

Laura & Will-You two have such adorable girls! I’m so thankful that I get to see them grow up and watch Miss Tess hit big milestones. They are such treasures and a joy to work with. Thanks for having me a second time and here’s to a cooler-temped photo shoot in December! Cheers!
