Jess + Ellie + Shane : A McRae Park Family Session

I love when clients choose a location that means something to them and Jess is one of those clients who (with her Trek the Park prowess) knows a lot about the Des Moines Metro. When she recommended McRae Park with a view of downtown, I was all in! Gerard & I had our photos taken here long before children entered the picture, so I was excited to go back and explore. If you look closely, you can see the capitol in the background too!

With all the park trekking this trio does, I was totally comfortable photographing them “in their natural habitat”, hanging from the binoculars (see above). These two also got in on the photographing action and wanted to make photos of each other including Jess (those will be in their gallery)! I will always encourage a budding photographer. ;)

We headed to one more shady spot so that we weren’t in direct sun the entire time (it’s been scorching hot here lately!). Both Shane & Ellie did SO WELL at this shoot-I was so proud of them both and the smiles they gave.

Jess - Thank you so much for supporting this business of mine each year. It’s a treasure to watch Shane & Ellie grow and learn. Best wishes on his school year!

Much love,

Carrie
