Your Story Images Hi friends! I am Michelle Groom Carmichael, an Iowa photographer specializing in Seniors, Families & Weddings.

From their wedding, to their gender reveal, and now family photos… it has been such a joy capturing these special moments for Demir and Samantha! ❤️ They are wonderful parents, and little Natalie has completely won my heart!

We headed to Jester Park for an evening of family photos and had the best time with this adorable little family. These are the moments that make my job so special!

Some weddings are extra special, and Hannah and Devin’s was one of them. 🤍

I first met Hannah when I photographed her senior pictures, and later had the pleasure of meeting Devin for their engagement session. Getting to be part of another special chapter in their story was such a joy!

Their quaint, small family-only wedding at Vows DSM was intimate, meaningful, and absolutely perfect for them. Even with the CRAZY wind, we found some shelter in the back alley for fun urban wedding portraits, and of course, cupcakes from Molly’s Cupcakes made the day even sweeter!

Congratulations, Hannah and Devin! You two are truly a wonderful couple, and I’m so happy I got to capture these memories for you. ❤️

The State Fair winds down today, and tomorrow the school doors swing back open.

If your senior spent the summer working, hanging with friends, and living their best life — and senior photos are still sitting on the to-do list — now's the time to lock in that session.

Here's the thing: I don't do cookie-cutter senior sessions. Every single one is crafted around YOUR senior — their vibe, their story, their style. Want urban? We'll do urban. Want country? We'll do country. Want edgy? Let's get edgy.

This is their story, told their way. I've got your back.

📩 Reach out today to get your senior's session booked before the school year gets too busy.

Not a fan of going to busy places for your senior photos, no worries 😉 I got you. We can take them in your backyard and in your house.
