Photographer, Educator, Student, Mother & Wife Obsessed with sharing moments through pictures & words
Today I got to spend a bit of time with fellow designer, photographer and SCAD classmate Tim Putt and his wife Magally to take their son, Mateo’s newborn photos. At just nine days old Mateo arrived nice and sleepy for his first photos.
In just a moment or two with Mateo I took one of my...
Last week I got the opportunity to photograph Alex & his new baby brother Jackson. Alex is one of the first newborns I photographed in 2008 and was the first baby I’ve photographed who was adopted. He was definitely one of the most memorable babies I photographed that first year because he came to me...
July 29, 2010 - 9:43 pm - My heart is so full of happiness. The pictures are beautiful, and little Jackson is precious.
July 30, 2010 - 11:52 am - This is awesome! Thanks for sharing with us. Alex and baby Jack are so cute and so are their parents and grandma! Thanks for sharing!
A little over a week ago I met with Stacy and Jaden at Carl T. Langston Park and Dickson Azalea park for photos. Many of you, especially from Valencia, should remember Jaden from when I photographed him as a newborn and again just before he turned a year old. Yes, Dennis’ little boy has developed...
I suppose this is the year that many of the newborns that I’ve photographed in the last 2 1/2 years return so I can capture a few more moments with them. When I heard my friend Shanna would be visiting I realized I’d get another chance to photograph a little one to share just how...
July 25, 2010 - 2:52 am - Beautiful pictures and beautiful story.
You all may remember Abigail who I photographed late last August shortly after she was born. Yes, she was such a dreamy newborn for me to photography…full of beauty and just amazing all around. Some of the photos from her session are among some of the most memorable photos in my portfolio. I owe a...
This past weekend I had the opportunity to meet with Addison again for photos. It’s always rewarding to get to see the little ones I’ve photographed and see how much they’ve grown. I suppose with Addison this year has been equally rewarding knowing I’ve been able to capture a few priceless moments with Addison while...
“Your identity and your success go hand in hand. Many people sacrifice their identities by not doing what they really want to do. And that’s why they’re not successful.” ~Lila Swell
Many of you were here last fall when I began to establish my business and brand myself. I suppose I’m not the typical...
July 1, 2010 - 6:33 pm - I love it, it's beautiful! I'm so excited for you :)
July 1, 2010 - 6:35 pm - My mom, Brian and I were exclaiming over your business card Monday night because we'd never seen anything like it before. I really enjoyed reading about how it was made! I appreciate it even more now and I totally understand why you went with letterpress. Thanks for sharing/educating.
July 1, 2010 - 8:22 pm - I absolutely love your business cards Amanda. They are full with design and so much love. A true artist you are to follow your gut and making a statement. Thank you for sharing this adventure with us.
July 2, 2010 - 10:56 pm - They look Amazing A!!! I still remember showing you the first round of concepts and sharing how exciting it would be if down the road they were letter-pressed…! Once again, thank you for making me part of this process :] PS, I can't wait to touch them!!!! D*
July 5, 2010 - 1:36 pm - Thank you for sharing the process! Brooks was correct that I would enjoy seeing him at work..he has explained the process many times and I still couldn't visualize what he was actually doing, (except for the part about getting his hands caught in the machines!) What beautiful cards! What an excellent way of expressing the passion of your vocation. Catherine Lawrence (the Letterpress operator's mama).
Recently I learned of Orlando’s Historic Preservation Board’s call for entries for their 2011 Historical Preservation calendar. Every year they feature a set number of historical locations in Orlando in this calendar. This year they’ve chosen to feature the Holden-Parramore district which the city has been putting work into cleaning up the area which is...
July 1, 2010 - 8:47 am - These are awesome. I love the color shots. Although the black and white/sepia shots lend a historic feel, I like the thought of preserving the area as it is, color and all, through the photos. :)
July 1, 2010 - 12:46 pm - Wow Amanda! I'm afraid to show you my photos! These are great!
A little over a week ago I had the opportunity to meet with Jenna & her sisters again. You all may remember me taking Jenna’s photos back in December when she was only about a month old. Jenna’s last photo session was definitely among one of the most challenging little ones I have photographed. But...
June 30, 2010 - 11:17 am - Excellent post! Every photo is just great.
June 30, 2010 - 4:01 pm - Amanda, I am so grateful for these awesome photos! Thank you so much! I love them!!!!
Three days ago my niece, Raven, turned one. Yes, I think I’m a little in shock how fast the past year as flown by. Last month I took this photo of Raven for her birthday invitation…my how she’s grown.
This time last year so many of us were so concerned about this sweet little girl who...
