Through my photographs of rural Iowa landscapes, architecture, local gatherings, and everyday moments, I document the details that bring the story of the place forward. I am interested in the beauty found in ordinary spaces.

In my portrait work, I photograph people in a way that honors their imperfect humanity. I am especially interested in photographing individuals who are devoted to their crafts and creative practices. 

Across these bodies of work, I am interested in preservation—not only of people and places, but of the intangible qualities that make them meaningful. Utilizing film, digital photography and videography, with an emphasis on natural light and atmosphere, I create images that highlight the enduring beauty of everyday life.

If you are seeking photography in any of these areas, please reach out! To work with me, visit my website www.amaranthcreative.com.

Use this section to get the parent/child taxonomies for a single post being viewed

The above pulls in each of the parents within the artist-discipline taxonomy , which is good, if I want to display them alone without their children.

I need to probably display these like this:

Dance: Ballroom, General, Hip Hop, Jazz.

Design: General, Graphic

Will need to figure out how to return the sub categories (artist-discipline) for each parent individually and then loop through all parents assigned to the CPT (artist) being viewed.

In this section I was able to successfully pull all sub categories that belongs to the 2 parents selected. This could be good if I was trying to show all possible choices under that parent, but what I really need is to pull just the selected ones back.
