Diana and Matt’s bridal session was so incredible!!  They both looked amazing and were completely natural in front of the camera.  It was pouring rain at the beginning of the session, which was ok because we were shooting inside but just was we were about to end we looked outside and it was snowing HUGE snow flakes (my favorite kind)!!    So we ran outside for a few.   And I am so glad we did! I love the way they turned out!!  And it was so awesome of Diana to not competely stress about her dress :)   I am so excited for their wedding at the end of this month!!

 I shot Karaline and Jake’s wedding back in 2007.  and now 4 years later they have a darling little girl and family.  We shot these pictures right after the big wind storm in Centerville and Farmington and just getting to the spot we wanted to shoot was craziness!!  We had to climb over lots and lots of huge trees that had fallen.  But we made it and I love how these pictures turned out!  I generally specialize in shooting weddings but once in a while I get the opportunity to shoot other things as well.   I love doing family pictures and I love working with past clients!  So past, present and future clients and brides……if you are in need of family, maternity, birth stories, kids whatever…. Let me know!  I would love to work with you again.  And new clients too :)

I am excited to announce that Amanda Abel Photography has a new logo and a new look for this year!  I love the simplicity of this logo and am so excited for a bunch of changes coming up in the near future!

One thing that usually happens with a new year and new branding is new pricing.  That is not necessarily a bad thing :)   but I have made my packages simpler and easier for brides to get exactly what they want.  I am now offering 2 types of packages- coverage only for those who don’t want an album and album packages for those who do.  Within each category you can choose from full or half day.  Pretty simple right?!!?  Be sure to visit my website to see my new packages www.amandaabelphoto.com.  And thanks for all of the love and support from all of my clients- past, present and future!!

Erin: Love the new logo.

gratitude….

Role Model

December 9, 2011

Emma Watson is such an amazing role model! With all of the bad influences out there, it is a breath of fresh air to see someone in the spotlight like her be such a great example.    I will let my kids look up to her forever!  She is just amazing!  And she is my role model too :)

“I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me – dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder.” – Emma Watson
