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

In some light, he resembles his mama, in other light, his dad. And then there are his sisters. He even somewhat looks like them too, if you catch him at a certain angle. I almost didn’t pick up my phone when his mama, Stacy, called because my cell phone has been bombarded with political survey phone calls and I didn’t recognize her number. Something made me pick up my phone though, and I’m so glad I did! Little Soren’s sisters were in town for the weekend and logistics were just right for a photo shoot. A slight sprinkle of rain wasn’t going to stop us and Soren was a very content 3 month old.

Stacy brought some great accessories-a lovely blanket that lent itself to a few vintage edits:

And some homemade hats for this fall & winter:
Generally, I do this next shot with the parents’ hands, but Stacy so wanted to highlight Soren’s sisters, that I thought we’d do this with them instead.

Stacy & Chris-I’m so glad you called and that I got you instead of a political ad/survey.  I’m especially thankful that logistics worked out so well and Soren AND the weather cooperated! What a lovely day we had with such great girls and a beautiful family. Thank you so much for having me!
Blessings,
Carrie
