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 can hardly believe that this family were the first to officially pay me for my services and helped launch my photography business. If you’ve followed us at all on Facebook, you’ll see that Miriam has helped Laidy overcome her fear of putting her face in the water this summer. Her patience continues to amaze. We gathered for (I think) the 6th time(!) at Valley Junction and had a ball. These might be my favorite of their family to date! 

We discovered different nooks and crannies and captured a few more of her boys, Thomas & Joe. 

But, I have to admit, these are what make this session shine to me: I love the interaction between the boys and Sean and ultimately, their family photos at this spot. *sigh*

Sean + Miriam: Thank you SO SO much for boosting my business and my spirits every time I photograph your sweet family. Thank you for who you are and who you’ve shaped me (and my business) to be. Your trust in my abilities each time we get together is very much appreciated!
Blessings,

Carrie
