this week on iheartfaces is the best face of 2011! i haven’t participated in quite some time so it feels good to be back!
here is a photo i took in 2011 of a little girl chowing down on a watermelon for the orange county fair’s theme photos of 2011! it was an honor being apart of it and i hope you all enjoy!

to say this past year has been crazy is an extreme understatement. it was challenging, amazing, frustrating, satisfying, confusing all rolled into one and more. but, i wouldn’t change a second of it.
2011 was awesome to us and we are so grateful to our clients friends, and family. we had a blast with a TON of photo shoots! lots of engagement sessions, weddings, family sessions, pregnancy & newborn shoots, and everything in between. i hope 2011 was as great to you as it has been to us, we couldn’t have asked for a better year. 2012 has some pretty big shoes to fill, but i have a feeling it will be the best one yet
here are some photos of sessions we took throughout this past year. it’s not every session, but just a few of our favorites. {these aren’t in any particular order of favorite or even in order of date, just inserted randomly}
ENJOY!
saturdays are fun.

the photo on the left is justin. i just took it randomly to test the light for our orange county fair theme shoot and i ended up loving it. mainly because he’s so freaking cute, i can’t stand it.
and, photo on the right is a screen shot of when one of our weddings was featured in style me pretty! we are so proud of this wedding {kate + jordan} and that we were chosen to get featured. it was definitely a great highlight of the year!
this lil’ lady below has definitely turned this year upside down for us – and we wouldn’t change it for the world. justin and i found i we were expecting this past june and it’s been an insane ride ever since! watching her grow (via ultrasounds), hearing her heartbeat, feeling her kick has been some of the most amazing experiences of our life. we are so thrilled and excited to soon meet our little blake emily thiessen. she is due end of january so i only have a few more weeks to go!
we are so thankful for this little babe coming into our lives, definitely the best new year present
so, if you’ve been missing my posts/photographs i’m so sorry! it’s because of my recent expansion of my belly hehe. i’ve been on a little break because of the pregnancy, trying to get everything ready before i pop! after she arrives and we get settled into our new life as a complete family i will be up and running! blogging {rambling} regularly again, photo sessions, etc! so with that said, if you are interested in engagement/wedding photography, family sessions, newborn, etc please, please, please feel free to contact me at: amanda.thiessen1@gmail.com i will be checking and answering email up until the birth so don’t feel afraid to contact me!we can of course book sessions in the future!
thank you all for being so understanding and for all of the congratulations and well wishes! we appreciate all of you!
{just for fun here’s a little collage of my pregnancy progression and my belly expansion!}
happy new year, all! make it a great one!

wow.
wow. wow. wow.
it almost feels weird blogging because i haven’t done it in over 4 months. i probably have the best excuse though. justin and i have been incredibly busy. we found out this past summer that we are going to have a baby!!! and it’s a girl! we could not be more excited! with all of the exciting baby news we have recently moved and are in the process of getting our own place so it’s been c r a z y!
i’m 26 weeks and 3 days to be exact (6 1/2 months) and it is flying by! our little girl is due the end of january so we have been trying to read up as much as we can, register for cute baby stuff and just relax before she gets here and, i’m sad to say i will not be doing holiday photos this year
but just know we are getting our little baby ready for the world so it’s a pretty good excuse i’d say!
i will be taking a little leave after she arrives also and should be up and running just in time for spring/summer weddings! so excited for what is ahead for us and to start our family. thank you to whoever reads this and hasn’t given up on me! we haven’t quit – we’ve just been a little preoccupied and we will be back on a more regular basis after our girl is here. until then, my posts will be short and sweet!
here are some photos of our little babe, just growing awayi already feel like one of those moms that whips out her wallet with the hundreds of photos of her kids and she’s not even here yet haha! i guess that’s parenthood for ya
11 weeks 5 days
19 weeks 5 days (cute little button nose!)
20 weeks 5 days! (don’t mind the clutter in the room)
26 weeks and 2 days!
you are looking at blake emily thiessen. we are so proud and thankful for this little babe. we have been trying to get pregnant for over a year and have not had any luck what.so.ever. so, if anyone is reading this that is having a difficult time, you are not alone. i finally dropped the stress of getting pregnant and it was almost instantly we got pregnant. sometime i still can’t believe this is actually real myself. so, don’t give up hope! it will happen! and the next thing you know, you’ll be looking at little 3d photos talking about how beautiful your little alien baby is
already in love <3
so, that is pretty much what’s been going on with us in a nutshell! thanks for reading after such a long break
happy tuesday!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
recently i had the honor of shooting my 1st maternity session. yep, you heard right. my 1st ever! of course i was nervous but since it was with my sister-in-law and her hubby i was a little more calm but, i still wanted the photos to turn out amazing because they are expecting their first child {emma}…and within the next couple of weeks – and they’ll have these photos forever!
i am so happy that i was to be able to do this for them. and i am sooooo excited to shoot little emma when she’s a baby and throughout her life. i can’t wait! we just want her to get here already!
justin and i are so looking forward to be uncle bo and aunt manders all over again!
