So here it is 12:30am and I am just now getting to my blog. I am soo sorry it’s been a while. Things are finally getting back to their normal schedules around here after the holidays. And I am super busy again and loving it. I gave myself a few weeks off for the holidays and it was a nice breather. I am getting a ton of wedding bookings and I am so excited about it! I have some fun changes in store here soon!
Just a reminder that I am giving away a free session, please enter by the end of this month. Look at this post for details: http://amandabasteen.com/children/des-moines-childrens-photographer-wyatt-6-months-santa-christmas-giveaway/
I shot this session a few days ago and loved it! I looooovvveee when I can get a good sunflare in my photos and have missed it this winter. Believe it or not, this is an indoor session and I got it right through her window!
I will be shooting her baby here soon too, so stay tuned!
