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

She contacted me with the sweetest story of their beloved bulldog who was their first furbaby. When Amanda & Trevor found out they were expecting to add a human baby to their family, they bought a stuffed bulldog to celebrate. Sadly, their furbaby was diagnosed with terminal cancer and passed away before he got to meet the newer addition, Graham. As sweet circumstances would have it, Graham and the stuffed bulldog his parents purchased before his birth are the best of friends. 🙂 

Amanda wrote me that her goal of the session was obviously to commemorate Graham turning one, but also candids of both his parents with Graham one on one and with their beloved bulldog. I’m pretty sure we nailed it.

Trevor + Amanda: Thank you so much for the pleasure of photographing your family. I had a blast getting to know Graham in our short time together and I hope you had fun! Thank you for trusting a complete stranger with documenting this special time in your lives-I hope I get to see Graham grow up for many years to come. 

Blessings,

Carrie
