My name is Amanda Schramm. Many of my friends call me Mandy. I'm originally from Dubuque, Iowa, but I've spent some time living in west central Illinois before settling in the Quad Cities for the last fifteen plus years.
I currently live in Bettendorf with my husband and two children. In 2019, I became a stay-at-home-parent after my daughter was born. My life was pretty busy with a toddler and a newborn, especially during the pandemic. Now that my kiddos are a little older, I've been picking up some freelance work in web design and developing areas of my career that I look forward to resuming in the future.
I also like fishing or boating with my family. I enjoy touring any kind of place that makes alcohol which has lead me to travel to some interesting locations. I've also been known to play some video games and tinker around on the computer for hours. I enjoy photography both on and off the job. Like many parents, my children are my favorite subject. I also love food photography almost as much as I love eating it.
