old friends, pretty little ones.

yep, another family out at the barn. i love shooting out there right now. it's so pretty and makes for a great backdrop!

i used to teach with these two and they are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. ever.

little cutie pie.

we got a few smiles from baby sister!

this is my favorite family shot. such a gorgeous family!

i photographed these girls a year ago when little one was brand new. i am always so thankful when families continue contacting me for photos. it means so much.

Sweet family on a fall morning!

seirously, they could be twins!! pretty ladies!
this is one of my personal favorites! sweet sisters!

daddy with his pretty girls!

smooch!

another favorite! i just love this location and the pretty little yellow flowers!

precious family.

i don't think i had seen christina since graduation...so awesome to catch up and see what an amazing woman she has become! {even though, back in the day she was a total sweetheart! }

this boy makes me smile.

your favorite cousin ;)

Kannon {newborn}

i am terribly behind on blogging and am determined to catch up! i have had some wonderful sessions the past couple months and have a bunch lined up for this busy fall season!

isn't this baby boy just a dreamboat?!

he was such a little sleeper for me, too! i just love a cooperative baby!

he belongs to one of my oldest, dearest, and most hilarious friends, way back from high school! {yes, another high school friend...i just love them!} it was such a joy getting to photograph her with her sweet new family and catch up a little bit while working! just a beautiful time.

i think this one is my personal favorite from the session...he just looks so peaceful.

i loved that jennifer brought along kannon's teddy bear.

daddy had to head into work {he is a most fabulous chef}, but so glad i snapped this before he took off. they just grow way too quickly...

oh, precious boy. i can't wait to watch you grow!

xo,

amanda

totally...

how i'm feeling today....

this little guy belongs to a special friend of mine...we met in 9th grade and still continue to stay in touch, meeting up for dinner a couple times a year with our "outback four". so happy to have been able to capture her precious little peanut. he is beautiful and mama is glowing {exhuasted...but glowing and happier than i've ever seen her!} love you, jen!

sweet baby gracie {newborn}

just a few of the edits i have done so far...there are so many photos i am absolutely in love with. she is such a little dollie and did so well through the shoot...even letting us get out in the heat for a bit! more to come, i'm sure!

maternity love. {j's maternity session}

a grand adventure is about to begin. ~~ Winnie the Pooh

i had an amzing {& amazingly hot} session last night with another good friend from high school! Jen and i have known each other since our freshman year and have never lost touch. we meet up with three other friends at least twice a year for dinner to catch up {usually at outback...so the group is usually referred to as the "outback girls.}. i was so ecstatic when she told me she was pregnant so many months ago and can't believe it is already time for maternity photos and a new sweet little man to come into this world! just a couple from our session last night!

& yes, the blog is still under construction...i apologize for the weird photo bucket glitch going on...it will be fixed and more gorgeous than ever very, very soon!! so excited!

mr. t {newborn session}

i just wanted to share a few images from a session a few months ago. i adore this sweet family and their new little addition is just perfect in every way. maybe it's the hair, or the round sweet face...but oh, how i wanted to take him home with me!! just reminded me so much of my two when they were new! mama is a friend from high school and i was thrilled when she contacted me to photograph this amazing time in her life. nothing sweeter than a new life and a loving family!

this is one of my favorite pictures i've ever snapped...

xo,

let me introduce myself...

it has been so long since i have updated this space and yes, it is under construction...gettting revamped and a whole new look. fancified by this pretty lady! can't wait to see what kind of pretty she has up her sleeve! so i thought i would come on, say hi, and introduce myself...again! so you know the face that is behind the camera!

here i am...in all my new haircut, feeling rawr, glory! seriously, it had been so long since i had taken the time to get my hair cut and styled i forgot how incredibly amazing it feels...

{mr. wanted photography}

bo.

he puts up with all my nonsense and photography talk. listening and smiling and nodding along. what a sweet, sweet man. {not to mention he is a pretty amazing daddy and, well, not too hard on the eyes ;) ...of course, i might be a bit biased!}
