I'm so happy that you are here! I am a portrait photographer from Newton, Iowa. My life is so rich because of my clients, their stories and how much I adore them. I'd like to use this blog to share them with you!
So come, take a look at what happens in my eyes and their lives in 1/125th of a second.
First sign of Spring – The Cardnial (Corner) of course!
Jeff is open!!! I had my first lick today! I can’t begin to tell you how happy I was to pull up to Cardinal Corner and see Jeff’s face pop out the window and her the familiar ‘Hi Aim”! It made my day, week, month etc.
Thank you God for remission, thank you God for remission and thank you God for remission!!! Thank you God for Cardinal Corner ; )
Oh, I just had one lick. One day, I’ll treat myself to a whole cone.
Jeff we love you bunches!
Why the sad face you say? I would think it is quite obvious. I am so very very sad she is growing up. I love Abbey, I love her mommy and I just don’t want our ‘quite often’ visits to end. I can’t believe it has gone so fast.
This was her cake shoot. I’ll show the cake pics later except for a little on her lip below. She has on a bikini. I loooooved it!
I’ll get over my sadness, I must. I’ll start thinking of how much fun we’ll have with toddler Abbey!
Someday I’m going to put a gallery on my site of just my laughing pictures. Every time I look at one I often wonder what crazy thing I might have said. Maybe I don’t what to know!
This may come as a shock to some of you, Chase doesn’t like me. He didn’t like me the day he met me. He didn’t like me the day of his shoot. He didn’t like me the day of his family session. That kinda stinks, he had to be around me three times last year. Every time he tried so hard not to laugh at my jokes etc. Poor guy.
As much as Chase doesn’t like me, I like him ; ) He had the most amazing clothes, Affliction, Sinful, etc. All my favs!!! His shoes were hand drawn/painted by a guy in his hometown. Sadly, I’m sure I made them get dirty. Anyway, thanks Chase for putting up with me. I love your pictures so sorry, I won!!!!
And know that I do have smiley pics of Chase, I’m just not going to post them to ruin his BA reputation. Chase, one day when you get those tattoos done, call me. I would photograph them any time in a heart beat. You don’t scare me ; ) Your brother scares me. Ha ha, not really!
QB of his football team!!!
And here it is in black and white cause I like you both ways : )
FYI – Rachel’s comment below – Rachel’s company designed the bleachers on the south side of the home side. They really are very cool, seriously!!!
Thank you my sweet Chrissy for your comments about Chase’s family pics. You know what I was doing with them, you know my soul. I wondered if anyone whould see what I was doing. I love you!
Amy you caught the spirit of Chase and all of his family-they are special special people with amazing strength and grace. Thank you for sharing–and I think Chase likes you….in his quiet sort of way! And the brotherly love pix-brings me to tears…nothing more special…thank you!
Those football pictures would’ve looked AWESOME on a bleacher!!!!

Any day that I need a gentle life reminder all I need to do is use my mouse. OK, so I use it all day every day, does that mean I always need reminded. Yes. Always.

Amy, how COULD you?! Only one lick? It’s ice cream and there’s no such thing as “only one lick” with ice cream. Can we have dessert there tomorrow? Pleeeeeeeeeeeze!
