Photographer, Educator, Student, Mother & Wife Obsessed with sharing moments through pictures & words
This past week I had the pleasure of meeting 9 day old Ricardo. Now that I’ve been doing newborn photography for nearly 2 1/2 years it’s getting tougher and tougher to make sure with every new session I am able to capture photos that don’t all seem to look like the same typical newborn photos....

I’m excited to finally announce the winners of the 2 photo sessions. We put the names in a hat of those who donated to help Wrenn’s family and the kids picked the winners randomly. Rather than spoiling the surprise I’ll let you all check out the impromptu video the kids and I have made to...

But they’re not yours, they are my own,
I am never broken,
In the end only kindness matters,
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray”

May 9, 2010 - 7:40 am - Beautiful photos, I love your work. Thanks for sharing.
May 9, 2010 - 3:43 pm - Wow Amanda, What a great story and the picturs are beautiful but I would not expect anything less from these beautiful children and such a great photographer.

Tessa is one of the most determine young ladies I have ever met and with thanks to the Lord she is accomplishing her dreams. I Love You Tessa Very Much! Kisses 2 U, Happy Mother's Day x 3. XOXOXOXXO

For those who have been following my photography or my family you all know that the biggest motivator in my start with photography has been photographing my own children as I’ve watched them grow. I’m the mother who has taken photos at every game, every event, in school, out of school, at dinner, at home,...

That might be the school's problem - not you. I'm assuming if they approved it then others might be able to do the same? Though anyone would be a generous of their time as you are. Though I see photos of other friend's friends' kids all the time on FB. Humm.
