angie and luke’s wedding

September 24, 2009

angie and luke got married on a rainy day in june.  yep that is right.  i am playing catch up!  they got married and had their reception at the market street grill.  it was fabulous!  i absolutely loved it.  their families were so much fun and i had a blast watching them dance all night!  i loved what everyone was wearing and even i showed up that day wearing their colors ( it completely unplanned and i felt like an idot,especially since i NEVER wear brown, ever! ) and i adored their sweet and fun son indie!  thanks for this awesome opportuntiy you angie and luke!  your wedding was amazing!!

September 15, 2009

courtney is my 2009-2010 senior rep from davis high.  i don’t think it should be legal to be this adorable!  she was so dang fun! courtney wants to be a dallas cowboys cheerleader when she grows up! she loves to dance and has been into all kinds of dance her entire life.  i was so excited when she brought her toe shoes and prom dress to her session.   i am thrilled with the way they turned out!  if you are a senior this year and want some awesome and unique pictures, be sure to hit courtney up for a card good for $25 off your next session!  or  you can just email me and i will confirm with her that she knows you :) Also be sure to join my seniors group on facebook . and don’t forget to book your session now because they will fill up fast!!! i will only be taking a limited number of senior sessions per month.

brock: These are nice, Amanda! This was a very personalized session.

heather: very cool shots!!!! and i would love curls like that!

August Miller: Amanda, you are really starting to get better and better at this. This is one of the better takes you have done. Your composition is getting better and including detail shots really helps the overall package. I would love to see more use of a mix of available and strobe/artificial lighting. Keep up the great work. check out this blog: http://www.joemcnally.com/blog/ He is probably the best location lighting photographer working today. tons of great information on his blog and great ideas. HIs book "The Hot Shoe Diaries" is probably the best book out there for using small light on location. I would highly recommend getting a copy. Joe is strictly Nikon with small flash/camera so you would easily relate as you shoot Nikon as well.

Nicole Benitez: Gorgeous shots. I love the ones in her prom dress the best.

Zanny: Wow! Didn't they turn out GREAT? Each one I loved more than the last!

Erin: These are fantastic. She has a very unique look. Love it.
