Day Family | Portraits | Waterloo, IA

it is time for me to confess something to y'all. ready for it?i've been dying to shoot photos of the day family for over a year!
there. i said it. ;)
but in all seriousness, this is one good looking family! i've been friends with the day kids for about 5 years now, and it's been a good 5 years of fun and craziness. and oh my word, are they a talented family! kyle, the oldest, is in his second year studying at PHC in virginia, where he's learning how to do huge things in our country! next is phillip. he bakes amazing cookies for one thing, and he's starting college down in nashville, studying audio engineering. sweet kristine is the only girl, an amazing swimmer, and a crazy good actress/singer! i'm super excited to go see some of the shows she's in locally this year! and last but not least, mr. aaron. he's still a young'un ;) but spends time swimming, video gaming, and making people laugh. (that i know from experience!)
put all these fun kids together in a family, add in two wonderful parents, a solid faith in the Lord, lots of love, and what do you get? a pretty amazing family that everyone wants to know! and now you do. or at least you can pretend you do. ;)
























love always,amelia renee.:)

starting of school thoughts

school has started, and with it, the craziness of a colorful, exciting, windy fall. minus the fall weather, of course. ;) it's still hot and humid here in iowa. but i'm already getting excited for sweaters and scarves, boots and books, starbucks pumpkin spice latte (soooo perfect!) and of course, lots of family and senior sessions!

i have lots in the works, and i'll be sharing SOON!

(i promise! i know i keep saying that but be patient with me, please!)

school started up on monday and i know that i'm going to love being in the photography program. i get to explore the darkroom and black&white film this semester. how cool is that?!

here is one of my more recent photos, from the KC Market. my family visited a few weeks ago and it was such a fun experience. :)

love always,

amelia renee.

Erin | Portraits

the first night here, Jessica demonstrated how she does a portrait shoot with two of her gorgeous friends, Erin and Anna. After she spent some time with them, Julie and I each got to spend some time working with them. Erin is super fun and full of energy and laughter! It was suuuuuper easy to work with her, due to her gorgeous face and bubbly personality. :) Which, I think, carries over pretty well in some of these photos... ;)
