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

When asked what she wants to do after high school, Maddy has a plethora of options available to her. She loves psychology, government (if she had a platform to stand on, it’d be Pro-Life), history and English lit. But it was during her session that I wondered aloud if she might be interested in modeling, because really, she’s good at it in my humble opinion! In between All-State vocal coaching sessions, we squeezed in her senior photos and I couldn’t be happier with our results:

We were within about 30 yards of this spot and we just had fun playing with light and reflections and shadows…

On our way home, we were going to use a particular field that I’ve discovered and ended up using the field, but in a totally different way than I expected. I LOVE when “happy mistakes” happen!! A wacky idea of mine, turned out to be totally fun and, surprisingly, quite comfy for Maddy!

Maddy, 

Can’t wait for Round 2! It’s been a pleasure getting to know you more and I know that with your attitude and strong convictions, you will go far after graduation. Congrats on your senior year and have fun!!

Blessings, 

Carrie
