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

After teaching Sam waaaay back in 6th grade as an alto sax player, I watched him go up to the high school, transition to a bari sax player and eventually, got to photograph his senior portraits. It was then that Michelle asked if I could photograph her whole family and we got it on the schedule! Now, twin brothers Corbin & Spencer are entering the band program in 5th grade and I’m excited to see them grow too! 

After nailing the full family photos, we break it down to the smaller groups of the family unit. Michelle, you are beautiful and your smile is contagious!

Michelle + Scott: Thank you so much for having me back again! It was a pleasure getting to meet your family and hear how Sam is enjoying Iowa State. Can’t wait to teach your trombone and clarinet players next year!
