Iowa Wedding Photographer – My Babies <3

Sometimes I just need to take a little time out to brag about my children.  They are wonderful and make me so proud.  It’s very hard to believe how much they are growing up.  Lilia is now 2 and acts 4 and Austin is 4 and looks older and older all the time.  They’re not really babies anymore, at all.  All the different stages they go through are fun (for the most part).  It makes me sad that they’re not babies, but now I can do so much more with them.  They understand more and can participate in more exciting activities.  They LOVE being outside and camping.  Up until this point I have NO photos of them together.  None, maybe one of them hugging or something but none where they are both smiling and looking at me.  It’s darn near impossible to do.  If one cooperates the other throws a fit.  Now that Austin is 4 and usually cooperates Lilia is the one who rebels.  So I went out with a different plan last night.  I would bring a big bag of candy and dangle it in their faces to get them to do what I want (what’s a little bribe here and there when it’s for a good cause right?! 😉 ).  It worked!  For the first time ever I have photos of them both that I love that I would be proud to have on my walls.  I am in love with all of these photos, and some may get a little repetitive but it’s because I can’t decide which I like better. 🙂

About Amanda

My name is Amanda and I am a professional wedding and portrait photographer based in Des Moines, Iowa. I travel the world photographing weddings and elopements! I have been shooting weddings 15 years now and I never tire of it. Each day is unique and beautiful in it's own way.

I absolutely LOVE being a wedding photographer. The fantastic moments you never expect, the tiniest details and all the love and craziness that goes on at the same time. It's all amazing and I feel like I have the best career in the world, getting to capture and help you remember all of it. Days flit by in an instant and it's my job to make sure you don't a single moment, or those feelings you felt.

In my free time I love spending time with my 2 beautiful kiddos and husband. I love to be outdoors camping, hiking or fishing, just being in nature. I'm obsessed with plants and gardening. I love finding the beauty in the outdoors and things around me. It's part of why I love photography so much, I get to find the beauty in others. Traveling and dragging my family along with me for photos is my absolute favorite! I also am pretty much a giant Harry Potter nerd. I'm obsessed with all things turquoise. I'd eat sushi every day if I could. I drink coffee ALL day EVERY day (ok and some wine) and fashion is a passion! I am a creative at heart so music and all types of art keep me entertained. I also make it a priority to be near the ocean at least once a year (if not more) and love to feel the sun on my skin whenever possible!
