We love, Love, LOVE the pictures. How amazing you are with that camera. We are so glad that you could capture such an important moment in all of our lives.
Amanda,

Love you
I am Katie’s Aunt and I live in NC. I have been checking their blog several times a day getting to share in their joy long distance. I was so excited that I could view their photos on line. Thanks for taking such beautiful photos of our 99th family member. We are all already in love.
Such previous pictures! I love, love the one with his hands under his chin. What a mellow, sweet, and loved little boy.
What an adorable baby. He shows so much character already. Wonderful pictures, Amanda.
He is a BEAUTIFUL baby… the pictures in the bowl really lets you visualize how small he truly is. I love that baby!

Such beautiful photos. Thank you for allowing us to see them and share with Katie and Landon.
Oh, these are lovely!!! I can’t believe the shots this newborn was content to take. He’s sooo tiny and precious.
Katie & Landon: what a truly precious gift you have. Enjoy your time together. Love the photos.
My favorite of your newborn sets by far! What a little cutie! (And your comment about him being wrapped up like a cute little burrito made me “lol”.)
The photos of Baby Isiah are beautiful! Katie and Landon, I’m so happy for the newest addition to the Shepherd family. The pics are amazing. I have two beautiful babies myself, send me your card and info, would love some shots myself.
These photos of Isaiah are beautiful. I have deepen my appreciation of you as a professor and as a teacher in life. I hope the best for you and your family and I am confident the true God will continue to bless you.

I was just looking at these photos a little more than 4 years later. They’re so beautiful. It’s so hard to express my appreciation that we have these pictures for years to come! Thank you for sharing your talent and gifts with us.
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 […]

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.
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 […]

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
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:)
