AKD's 15th Birthday Photos - Ames, Iowa - July 2025

"Arithmetic arithmetock,

Turn the hands back on the clock..."

  • Tom Waits, "Alice"


A and I went out for her 15th birthday photos to Peterson Park (affectionately known amongst Ames-ians as "Peterson Pit"). She wanted some sort of beachy vibes, so we went out and poked around out there. It's always a little awkward doing that when there are people there, so we didn't get as much in the water as she'd have liked, but it was still a blast.


I cannot believe she's 15. I don't want time to stop at all, but I wouldn't mind it slowing down just a bit. So proud of this fierce, brilliant, hilarious girl who is going to take on the world.

Our one beach photo!

I love A's confidence in this photo. I love that she doesn't apologize for being her own person, or for taking up space. I wish I had discovered that at her age... or the decades after.

A has her own sense of style, and I absolutely love it. She's fun, hip, retro, unique. It makes me smile.

This photo was A's idea, and I love it.

This? This is my girl. Sassy, fun-loving, sarcastic. It's all in this photo.

A doesn't like this photo... but I do. She looks so innocent here.

You see the brilliance in those eyes? Now try arguing with her about literally anything. Impossible.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

My name is Angie.  I find normal to be largely boring.  I am really lucky to get to spend time behind my camera doing all kinds of fun things, and also super-really annoying my kids by taking a million photos of them.
