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

Elaine was pregnant with Carson while attending Gerard and my wedding. I first photographed Carson in a box wrapped in gift paper under the Christmas tree when he was a few months old and now he’s SEVEN. What?! Brecker joined the crew 3 years ago and I can’t believe the newborns I once held in my hands can outrun me and my shutter at times!

Nick & Elaine have this “smile and look at the camera no matter what the kids are doing” thing down pat. The only reason I include all three of the photos below is because I love the evolution of their boys’ facial expressions. Nick & Elaine are statuesque! 🙂

Last ones for the proud parents:

Nick + Elaine: I’m so thankful you keep coming back year after year. I hope it’s getting easier, more fun or at least, quicker for you guys. It’s a pleasure and an honor to document your family at each of its stages thus far. Thank you SO SO much.

Blessings,

Carrie
