Des Moines Newborn Photographer | Maternity – Jessi

This is a beautiful maternity session I shot the other day.  I love using window light whenever I can, it turns out beautifully and just makes it look so magical!

It’s always crazy to photograph all these mamas and their babies when they are born.  Then I get to watch their babies grow up.  It just happens so fast.  My own daughter, Lilia, just tonight held up her little purse and put it on her shoulder like an adult.  Then she looked at me, waved and said, “Bye Bye!”.  I said, “Oh, you’re going bye bye?” and she said. “yay!” (which is what she usually says for yes).  Then I asked her where she was going and she told me, “work”.  Let me remind you, she will not even be a year in a half until February and she already talks like such a big girl and is pretending to go to work!  It just boggles my mind!  I sure have my hands full with my 2 babies but I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Jessi is going to have her hands full as well.  This will be her 3rd little boy!  At least her older two will be able to help out, hopefully! 😉  I seemed to like the vintage processing most for this session, although I am blogging a little of everything. 🙂

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
