Haiti needs our help – Amanda Basteen Photography

Well, I was going to post photos from an amazing newborn session I had but instead I am going to change my tune for a little bit and talk about Haiti. (I will post the newborn photos tomorrow 🙂 )

A fellow photographer (Jesse Erasmus) just came back from Haiti and has posted a very very moving slide show on his blog that I think everyone should see.  He has also posted a link to help them out if you’d like.  Please visit his website here: http://www.jesseerasmus.com/

This is a country that as a majority lives on $1.00 a day or less.  This is one of the worst countries that this earthquake could happen to.  They literally have nothing and no way of re-building.  They need our help badly.  The particular fund he links to goes 100% to the children.  They are working on building a hospital as well to help them out.  Please read more about it on his blog post.

I too am making a donation.  My heart aches for them and all I can ever do is picture my own beautiful children in their situation.  They NEED us.

    Catastrophic. Just paused life for a moment and prayed for these unfortunate people.

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
