Crosby (aka – Crozbaby) has already completely stolen my heart. And for a few reasons. For one, he’s my best friend’s first baby. And there’s the fact that he’s completely adorable. And also because he totally rocked his newborn session! He smiled and smiled and smiled! Oh, and there’s the whole I got to see him born thing! Pretty special little guy. I’m pretty sure everyone who has met him is pretty smitten with him too. Here are some of my favorites from his in-studio newborn session.

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!

From start to finish, this wedding at Celebration Farm was pure magic! ✨ The sweetest couple, a wedding party that brought the energy, and even their adorable pups joined in for some photos (seriously, how cute is that?!). It was one of those perfect August days—filled with love, laughter, and just the right amount of silliness.
Being trusted to capture moments like these is something I’ll never take for granted.

Stepping into the ring for something a little different! Had an incredible time creating content and branding photos for a local boxer to promote his upcoming fights. It was so exciting to play with lighting and get creative with the space—definitely a fun change from my usual shoots. I’m thrilled with how these shots turned out and would love to do more projects like this in the future! 🥊📸 #BoxingPhotography #CreativeBranding #IowaPhotographer
When disaster strikes, it’s what we hold closest to our hearts that we carry with us. For many fleeing the devastating fires in California, photographs of loved ones are among the first things they save—proof that memories and moments are truly priceless. Sending strength and compassion to everyone affected. Let this be a reminder of the power of preserving what matters most. ❤️
