What are your thoughts on milestone photos? | Cedar Falls Photographer
Some of my Cedar Falls photographer friends and I were talking earlier about how not very many people book milestone packages anymore. I'm curious why that is? Leave a comment if you have an idea... I'd love to know!

Harper's Newborn Mini Session - Cedar Falls Photographer
I'm archiving more old sessions, and I couldn't put this one away before sharing some of my favorites first! Harper's newborn session was earlier this year, and she's just such a photogenic baby! These photos are a pretty good representation of what a newborn mini session looks like with us. If you or someone you know is expecting a baby and looking for a photographer in the Cedar Falls area, I'd love to chat! Hit me up, and we'll plan your baby's photo shoot :) Remember, a

Tiny Details: Macro Photography in Newborn Sessions | Cedar Falls Newborn Photographer
As a newborn, one of my favorite parts of every session is capturing those tiny details. The little lashes, flaky toes, the adorable belly button or umbilical stump... These small details are often parents’ favorite images, because they freeze the things that change so quickly. On my YouTube channel, I decided to take a closer look (literally) at macro photography — and I compared my Canon 100mm 2.8L macro lens to a much more affordable macro extension tube setup. You can w

Sweet Elliana’s Newborn Session | Cedar Falls Newborn Photographer
It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since I photographed baby Elliana. Before I archive her gallery, I just had to share a few favorites from her session because honestly, how could I not? I can't be the only newborn photographer who has a hard time moving sessions from her hard drive haha! Her session was filled with a good mix of soft, neutral tones and some gorgeous blue and bronze. She was just the sweetest little one to photograph. She was one of those sweet sl

Baby Reese’s Newborn Session | Cedar Falls and Des Moines Newborn Photographers
Sweet baby Reese came into the studio last year, and I wanted an excuse to show more than just a few photos from his session. So here's a whole blog post! As we head into the colder months, I always like to remind expecting parents: if you’re due this winter, now is the time to schedule your newborn session. Winter tends to book up quickly, especially around the holidays, and I have a limited number of openings each month. The best time to book is while you’re still pregnant!

Hey there! I’m Amy, a Cedar Falls photographer who’s all about capturing the magic of childhood, babies, and newborns.
