Des Moines Newborn Photographer | Grayson & Harlow

Sorry I have been MIA on my blogging the past week or so.  My whole family, including me, has been super sick!  We are just finally feeling better.  I still have a sinus infection, but I am actually feeling alive again.   I’m supposed to be having surgery Friday and if I can’t get rid of this and get to feeling 100% then it has to be postponed. So, pray that I feel better by Wednesday so I can go through with my surgery! 🙂

On a much happier note, I had a great Valentine’s Day, aside from the fact that my hubby worked most of the day.  He got me beautiful azaleas (I LOVEEE all flowers) and chocolates.  He also got me a mother’s ring!  I have wanted one for sooo long!  I won’t have it for another 4 weeks though, it’s still on order.  It will have my kids’ names engraved in it as well as their birthstones.  I can’t wait to show you all!   The design looks a lot like my wedding ring.  It’s gorgeous!

I spent the day with my kiddos and we baked a cake for the first time ever as a surprise for Justin (my husband).  Even Lilia helped stir the batter.  Austin is really into helping me cook right now, he loves measuring things out.  It’s so cute!  It was a strawberry 3 layer cake in the shape of a heart!  I am so proud of myself because it turned out so great!  It had whipped cream cheese filling between the 3 layers and whipped strawberry frosting on the outside.  It was yummy!  I also surprised my husband with a new Mario wii game and had a big box of goodies from the popcorn factory delivered to him at work.  Here are a couple of photos of the cake we made.  Not too shabby for never making one before, if I must say so myself. 🙂

Here are some adorable newborn girls from a few weeks ago.  This is Grayson and Harlow, they are NOT identical.  They were 1 month old when I took these!  They signed up for my growing up baby package so we’ll be seeing them often as well.  My March is filling up fast and so is my wedding season, so if you’re needing a session or are planning your wedding, jump on it fast.  June is almost completely filled for wedding already.  I’m loving it! 🙂

  • Perfect. My twins are two of the hardest babies I’ve ever tried to photograph. I don’t have many shots of them when they were teeny because they never settled at the same time.

    LOVE these. Wish I had something like them. 🙂

  • I love these photos, but I have a special place for B&W. Kudos!

  • Glad you’re feeling better Amanda. That cake looks absolutely delicious.

  • I love the muted pink tones you used, so precious! Great shoot!

  • Glad you are feeling better. Stunning photos as always Amanda!

  • I am torn between cake and babies now…

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!

The best things in life are the people we love, the places we've been and the memories we've made along the way
