Des Moines Children Photographer – Layla

Yesterday I was scheduled to have a session with this little doll baby at the Botanical Center since it was so yucky outside and we’ve already had one session in their home.  When I got there it was packed and cars were lined down the street.  I am assuming maybe there was a wedding going on.  Oops!  I learned my lesson, next time call and check!  Anyway, we decided last minute instead of rescheduling to just do a session at their home again.  The only problem was I didn’t have anything but my backdrops with me.  No girly props, etc.  The stuff I’d usually bring.  But, we made do and found things around their house to make for cute photos!  It even stopped raining for a while and we stepped out onto the porch for a couple quick photos.  Those turned out to be my favorite ones! 🙂  Kara & Tim – thanks for being so flexible!

p.s. I seem to be having a love affair with the black and whites again in this session. Even though, Layla has the most amazing blue eyes!

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
