Kelsey + Greg

Oh, this sweet family. I’ve been photographing them since their oldest was new and they’ve seen the evolution of my business, editing style and posing knowledge grow alongside their family’s growth. Their oldest, Natalie, will be entering 6th grade this fall while Greg enters a re-election campaign to stay on the West Des Moines City Council Board. Two of the best and brightest history teachers you will EVER meet, world travelers, AP readers and just all around good people. I’m so thankful to get to go through parenting adventures with them, commiserate, encourage and be supported by them. True gems!

They can also roll with the punches of a necessary location change due to construction and bright sun on a hot and sticky summer morning!

Natalie is a great ring leader of her little brothers, Tommy & Will. Together they fashioned a few of their own poses and I loved watching them give each other feedback and making adjustments along the way.

Side note: whenever my own family would get photos made growing up, our photographer would let my sister and I choose a pose at the very end, so I love seeing kids’ creativity shine!

Greg & Kelsey : thank you so much for your support, flexibility, friendship and humor all these years. Trivia Nights are bound to make a comeback - maybe when we’re empty nesters! Have a fantastic summer with all the activity and best of luck on the reelection campaign, Greg!

Much love,

Carrie
