‘Tis the season for holiday photos. Just under three weeks after photographing Laina & Marc, I got the opportunity to visit their family for holiday photos earlier today. As you might imagine, taking a photo of two children under the age of two can certainly be a challenge – add in two dogs and I...

Yesterday afternoon I had the pleasure of taking family photos for Nathaniel’s family. The last time I saw Nathaniel in August he was just three weeks old. Now at about four months old he’s quite the charmer. One thing’s for sure, his mother and father are so proud of little Nathaniel – especially this holiday...
November 29, 2009 - 6:03 pm - WHAT A FAB FAMILY. I LOVE THE PICTURE WITH DADDY LAYING ON THAT BIG SMOOCH .
November 30, 2009 - 9:57 pm - I LOVE these pictures. I love the young, contemporary couple next to the industrial background. So striking!
I just love when I get to see the babies I’ve photographed grow. Today I got to revisit Angelique’s family and her little girl Laura. For me personally, her newborn photos are definitely some of the more memorable ones I’ve taken these last two years. So it was nice to spend a little time with...
November 27, 2009 - 12:06 pm - You are absolutely amazing and we thank you so much for the precious memories you have helped us preserve through he art of your photography. Laura and the kids respond so well to you. I truly believe that children can see the angels placed here on earth and recognize when they are in their presence. Thank you for being our earth angel. We wish you and your family many blessings this Christmas Season and always! Love, Angelique, Doug, Devon, Logan and Laura
November 27, 2009 - 2:06 pm - Black and white pictures always reveal the essence of the subject without the distracting color. You captured Laura's wonderment, joy and her reflective nature with a lot of candor. Thanks!
In the last few months I’ve enjoyed learning how quickly the news has spread about my photography. Today I had the pleasure of photographing little two month old, Addison. Addison’s father, Dave, works with my husband but in another squad and learned recently that he’d be deploying with the Army this coming January. As former...
November 25, 2009 - 5:18 am - These are really adorable! I especially like the ones with their heads together. Looks like they had a great time and will surely treasure these photos.
November 25, 2009 - 8:08 am - great photos... beautiful family and so important to capture the moments... I love the black and whites
I wanted to finally share my final project for my photography course at SCAD. Many of you have heard me chattering about my “fishy” project on campus or in facebook and twitter and finally I have my project to share with you so you all can stop wondering why in the world I was taking...

Today Hope turned eight. Yes, eight. Wow…I find myself still trying to figure out how time has passed us by so quickly.
I have to admit that it wasn’t until I...
I thought I’d share a little good news to start. Some of you may have heard through twitter or facebook, but I know many don’t follow either so I wanted to be sure I updated everyone. Last Friday I receive a call from the doctor and my HCG levels are officially at zero! That’s awesome...

The marathon of newborn photoshoots for my portfolio project in my masters photography course at Savannah College of Art & Design has come to an end with Little Ava. It’s definitely NOT an end to my newborn photography, just an end to this marathon so that I can turn in my project. Though I already...
November 16, 2009 - 2:35 pm - You took my breath away with Baby Ava's pics. She so reminds me of Isabellarose. OK, I'm definitely gonna make another baby just so I can get you to photo my baby! Or....better yet, my sister Deb is expecting her first child March 2010 (on my bday!!!). I'll have her talk to you.
November 19, 2009 - 11:56 am - Wow amazing job! Little Ava is my niece, a beautiful one at that. You did a very good job on capturing the perfect images at the right time, thanks for sharing! I need some wonderful photos of my 4 year old son Andre!
I was contacted this week by one of our Valencia students, Daphne Cooper about having me photograph her cousin’s little girl as a part of my search for newborns to build my photography portfolio for my SCAD masters photography course. It was an exciting opportunity knowing that her cousins little girl, So’lange, was only a...

November 14, 2009 - 10:31 am - Amanda, You worked your magic again. You are blessed with the ability to see the best in us and make us see it, too. Thank you. So, do I need to have a baby so I can get some pics? (Miiiiiichael, come here, sweetie!...) HUGS! Erica
November 14, 2009 - 11:06 am - Amanda...Amanda...You are absolutely amazing....these photos are completely stunning...It is quite obvious that God gave you a gift and I am soooo greatful you have chosen to share your talents with the world. My cousins (So'langes' mother & father) were completely floored when they saw the photos.....my mom and some church members (yeah we were in church checkin' them out last nite...lol) were almost in tears...I cannot truly express what a wonderful and powerful gift you have given our family. Thank you soooo much and I wish that you continue to share your blessings and talents with the world. Thank you...God Bless Daphne:)
