Pretty soon I will post some photos of my kiddos in the snow. They FINALLY got to play in the snow for the first time this year yesterday! 🙂 It finally was not below 0 for once! They also made their first snow man. It was my husband’s first snow man as well since he grew up in Arizona. They loved it and officially named him Mr. Snowman. My poor Lilia didn’t love it so much because she is only 1 1/2 and could hardly move in all her snow gear. lol It was still adorable!

So here is that awesome newborn session I promised you the other day. I am posting mostly black and whites for this session because I just think they look so beautiful! I always go back and forth on what I like best, which is why I always offer everyone the choice between the originals and black and whites (or whatever else I do). This is another new growing up baby so you will be seeing a lot more of him!

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
