🌸 Blossoming right before my eyes. 🌸
I still can’t believe this beautiful soul is mine.
My daughter is just a couple months away from officially becoming a teenager, but in so many ways, she already carries the heart, humor, and wisdom of someone far beyond her years.
She’s sweet and silly, kind and clever, stylish and strong.
One of my absolute favorite humans—and truly one of my best friends.
She stepped in front of the camera for fun this day and ended up modeling like a total natural, coming up with poses and ideas all on her own. I was in awe—both as a photographer and as a mama.
Watching her grow into this thoughtful, confident, creative young woman is the greatest joy of my life.
Love you, kiddo. Always. 🌺
These fleeting days… the giggles, the chaos, the tiny arms wrapped around you — they don’t stay little forever.
I’m so grateful to capture these sweet, real moments for families like this one — clients who have become friends over time and whose beautiful babies I’ve had the joy of photographing again and again.
There’s nothing quite like being in the photos with your little ones — hands full, heart even fuller.
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, now is the perfect time to step in front of the camera and celebrate the beautiful, wild, and precious bond you share. 💝
If this is the sign you’ve been waiting for to book a session, here it is. ☺️
Some friendships are like breathing — easy, necessary, essential.
Life has a way of pulling us into different seasons, and sometimes too much time passes between the moments that really matter: the hugs, the real conversations, the laughter that feels like home.
This past weekend, with the spring blooms in full glory 🌸 and the sunshine warming everything it touched ☀️, I got to spend the kind of day my heart had been missing.
Michelle stepped in front of my camera, and something magical happened ✨.
She radiated beauty, strength, resilience, and a quiet kind of joy that only comes from living fully. Seeing her through my lens reminded me not just of how stunning she is on the outside, but of all the ways she’s even more breathtaking on the inside.
Thank you, my beautiful friend, for trusting me to capture you — for showing up with so much grace, humor, and heart ❤️.
(And if you’ve ever thought about stepping in front of my camera — even just for yourself, even just because — maybe this is your sign. You deserve to see yourself the way the people who love you see you.)
Sneak peeks below… and so much more magic to come. ✨

I really should have my daughter model for me more often! 📸 We had to get out and take advantage of the flowering trees and the gorgeous weather this past weekend. The weather will only continue to get better, but those blossoms will sadly be gone in a week or so. 💐

Hey guys! 👋 It’s been a minute since I introduced myself, so let’s fix that. I’m Amanda Dee, the face behind the lens at Amanda Dee Photography!
I’m based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with a beautiful studio in the New Bohemia District (seriously, it’s a dream space!), but you’ll often find me traveling all around Eastern Iowa for weddings, portraits, and all the moments in between.
I’ve been a photographer for 20 years (I know… how?!), ever since I shot my first wedding at 22 and fell in love with storytelling through images. Over the years, I’ve captured everything from weddings and seniors to newborns, families, boudoir, and even births. It’s been an incredible journey watching people’s stories unfold — and getting to be the one to document them.
What keeps me inspired after all these years? The connections. I truly believe there’s something magical about freezing real, human emotion in an artful way — giving people something beautiful to hold onto and look back on for years to come. 💝
Whether you’re new here or someone I’ve had the honor of photographing before, I’m so glad you’re here. Drop a “hi!” in the comments or tell me—what kind of session would you book if you could?

Turning a parking lot into a fairytale scene? Just another day in the life of a wedding photographer.
This reel is a little peek behind the scenes + the final magic from one of the hottest, most humid days in June (I was drenched, not even kidding).
But the challenge? The pressure? The thrill of creating something beautiful out of nothing? That’s exactly why I love this job.
Weddings keep me on my toes, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Watching families grow and capturing their most special moments is such a joy, and this session truly filled my heart! I photographed big brother as a newborn and one year old, and now I’ve had the honor of photographing him again – this time as a playful, silly, and oh-so-sweet big brother to his brand-new baby brother. 💙
For this session, I leaned into what I’ve been focusing more on as a photographer lately – creating newborn images that feel a little more relaxed, natural, and true to life. The snuggles, the giggles, the tiny moments that make these early days so meaningful. So there’s a good handful of those mixed in with the more posed shots.
This baby boy is already so loved, with parents who radiate joy and a big brother ready to be his lifelong sidekick. I’m beyond grateful to this wonderful family for trusting me again to capture their beautiful, growing story. Welcome to the world, baby boy – your adventure starts here!
