Fall season always leaves me feeling a little extra grateful. 🤎

For the families who come back year after year, the little ones who are growing right before my eyes, and the new faces I get to meet along the way… thank you for letting me be a small part of your family’s story.

This time of year is busy, a little chaotic, and full of so many sweet moments. I know how much it means to get everyone dressed, out the door, and in front of the camera, and I never take it for granted that you choose me to capture these seasons of life for you.

I’m just really thankful to do what I love and spend my fall days documenting the love, laughter, and beautiful chaos that make your families yours. 🍂

Quick gallery update! Fall minis from the beginning of October will start popping into inboxes over the next few days. There were 27 total families so exporting and uploading is just a slow and tedious process and always takes longer than I think it will.

Here’s to soaking up these last bits of fall and all the little moments in between. 🤍

Posting sunny sessions until the sun comes back! ☀️ I’m sure you’re over hearing people complain about the rain but I’m trying to stay calm and take it as Mother Nature telling me I needed to slow down and rest this last week. But I’m rested and ready to get back to my regular session schedule. Bring on those sunny evenings 😎 🤞🏻

Remaining mini session dates and a few added times 😊 I could not believe how fast everything got snagged up by past clients and I’m so thankful for you all.

✨ Fall Mini + Evergreen Mini Sessions will open September 4th at 7 PM! I will post right here on IG and FB!✨

Past clients will have priority booking for the first 48 hours, and then any remaining spots will open to everyone else. If you’re hoping to snag a spot, mark your calendar! 🗓️

I wanted to give everyone a little extra notice this year so you have time to check those school, sports, and family calendars and find a date that works best for your crew. Once you choose your time, please take a quick peek at your calendar before booking to make sure it’s a good fit—we want to keep those fall evenings as smooth as possible! 🤎

These are for immediate family, milestones, maternity, or even a quick senior session. No extended families.

My Sunday milestone sessions have quickly become my most popular sessions after newborns, and honestly, I can see why. 🤍

There’s something so special about watching these little ones grow and getting to see their families come back to capture each stage.

From those sleepy newborn days to big smiles, first steps, and all the little personalities in between. 🥹🤍

Summer family sessions around here have looked a little like this lately…

Storms rolling in 🌧️
Heat waves making us question all of our life choices 🥵
Wildfire haze and poor air quality 😭
Reschedule texts flying back and forth.
And lots of refreshing the weather app hoping for a miracle. 😂

But you know what? I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Because on the other side of all those weather reschedules are the families I get to spend my summer evenings with. The kids who show up full of personality, the parents who are just trying to keep everyone smiling, the snuggles, the giggles, the wild little moments…and all the beautiful chaos in between.

These sessions aren’t always perfectly timed or perfectly weathered, but they are so worth it.

I’m just really grateful for this business and hanging out with your families, watching your kids grow, and freezing these little pieces of summer in time. 🤍

So bring on the heat, the storms, the reschedules and the unpredictable Iowa weather. A huge thank you to all my amazing clients completely understanding that as much as h would love to, I don’t control the weather.

I’ll be here. 📷☀️

To my returning families…this week is for YOU. 🤍

One of my favorite traditions each year is welcoming back the families who have trusted me with their memories time and time again. Seeing your kids grow, meeting new siblings, and hearing all about what this past year has brought is something I look forward to every season.

As a thank you for being part of my photography family, booking is now open exclusively for past clients. This is your opportunity to secure one of the remaining summer and fall session dates before they’re released to everyone else.

https://amandastarrphoto.pixieset.com/booking/family-session2025

✨ The schedule opens to the public next Friday, July 31.

If you’ve been thinking, “I need to book our photos,” don’t wait. Once these dates are gone, they’re gone, and fall tends to fill quickly.

I can’t wait to see all of your familiar faces again and capture another chapter of your family’s story. 🤍

“What if my toddler won’t sit still?” Or “What if my baby cries?”

These are the questions I hear most.

Here’s the secret: babies cry and toddlers are crazy 😂

We pause. We play. We cuddle. We feed. We take our time.

Your session isn’t rushed—it’s designed around your toddler and baby, not a clock.

Some of the sweetest moments happen in between the poses.

Perfection isn’t the goal.
Connection is.
