Happy Halloween everyone!! I wanted to keep these blog post super short and sweet because I know everyone is getting ready for trick or treating tonight! My good friend Emily offered to help me with a session that I have been wanting to do for a while now - a smoking pumpkin! Originally, Emily had carved a pumpkin for me and we planned on using that. But it didn't make it long enough for our shoot. So as I was running out the door, I grabbed my pumpkin caldron and figured it was worth a shot. I had never used a smoked bomb before, and I will be honest it was a bit nerve racking trying to pull the pin. So when I got home, my husband helped me with using an actual pumpkin with a different smok

Happy Hallow's Eve everyone!! Every year we have been here it has always rained on Halloween night. Which means this year, I am hoping all the rain comes today and stays away for tomorrow night! I am in serious pumpkin mode lately! A new trend started this season of doing pumpkin milk baths for littles. When I first saw the idea, I HAD to jump on this super cute bandwagon. Thankfully Brynlee and Nolan's momma let me try this out with them! Nolan loved every second of being in the milk bath. Brynlee had other opinions ;) -Amanda

Hey everyone!! I am so grateful, and honored, to have been able to photograph Tierra, Time, and Harley being reunited after many long months. Tierra and I planned this day for what seemed like forever, we waited at the hanger for several hours, nut as soon as soon as everyone walked in through the doors and Tierra saw Tim for the first time it was seriously amazing. Being a military family ourselves, this is a massive part of our lives and it effects out entire community. With that being said, there was no lack of emotions when I saw Tim first hug Tierra. I completely lost is when Harley ran up to his dad and gave him a massive hug. Tierra had a special surprise for Tim too! She had a custom

Hey everyone!! We had a freak storm yesterday and the majority of the area is still without power. We were without power for about 14 hours between yesterday afternoon and early this morning, but thankfully we had no damage. Others in our community weren't so lucky. I do want to take this time though to thank all of the hard electric workers, emergency response teams, tree cutters, and everyone else that has and is still working to restore our city. I feel like there is no better time to share a super happy, smiley, birthday dino baby's cake smash. Brady was in the studio recently for his cake smash! He wasn't a complete fan of his cake, but that doesn't mean I didn't get some cute smiles ;)

Hey everyone!! We made it through another week you guys! This weekend the Halloween festivities start for our family. So we are all super excited! I think the best way to start off the weekend is with pumpkin everything. Jaxon came into the studio for his newborn session recently and I immediately fell in love with this little guy. Jaxon was just over 6 pounds and reminded me of the perfect little pumpkin. So why not put him with a bunch of pumpkins? He was much happier wrapped up in a basket, of course I took advantage of that. The flag that you guys see has huge sentimental value to this sweet family, so when they asked if we could use it in Jaxons session I couldn't resist. -Amanda

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! You all should know by now I love starting off my week with sharing a newborn session with you all. Up next on my list is Baby Blake! This sweet little guy was just 6 days new when he came into the studio, along with big sister Kennedy. I do love my chunky babies! -Amanda

Hey everyone!! I have gone back and forth on what to write for this blog post. I don't think there's words for how grateful I am for the Shuler Family. Alexis and I first met when we were planning her maternity session several months ago. Flash forward to her maternity session, and not only did her husband and daughter, Piper, come photo ready but Alexis looked like she walked out of a super cool retro photo shoot. Since her maternity session, not only I have been able to work with them several times but our families have hung out together. My daughter, Giana, and Piper immediately attached to each other. I love being able to see my client's families grow and change, but its even more specia

Hey everyone!! I have been doing LOADS of fall photos lately, and I am still so in love with these sessions. I honestly didn't think the leaves would change very much here this year. But I am actually surprised that in some places, the trees are starting to turn yellow and red. Especially in one of my most popular locations that just happens to be one of my all time favorite locations in the area. The Snyder Family has been one of those families that I've worked with that we immediately clicked. The first time I worked with them was when Dawson turned one, and now he is getting ready to turn TWO! I cannot believe it!! This little guy is such an explorer, that never lets his Mom and Dad have

Hey everyone!! Its a brand new week! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I spent this weekend with a couple of super cute twins for their cake smash, and yesterday my family and good friends went out to the pumpkin patch. We even got a super special pumpkin for a new photo shoot idea I have. You guys won't want to miss that!! I also got to hang out with Rowan recently for his six month milestone. The last time i saw this little guy, he was just a few days new. So imagine my surprise when he came into the studio and was starting to sit up on his own already! Mom wanted to stay true to their ranch and rodeo roots for this one. I can say this, Rowan is the cutest little cowboy I have ever s

Hey everyone!! I hope you all had a great week and are ready for the weekend! I have actually started packing a little bit. I am seriously dragging my feet on this, and I cannot really explain why. Moving day will be here before I know it! What I rather be doing is sharing sessions with you all! Baby Nathanael came in for his newborn session and rocked it. As soon as Mom pulled him out of his car seat, and I saw all of his hair I was in love. Dad is a huge Anaheim Duck fan and asked if we could do something during Nathanael's session. I just have to say, these hockey photos are some of my all time favorites! Have a great weekend everyone! -Amanda

Hello everyone!! It's been awhile since I last saw Masina and Cody! The last time I saw them, it was just them and their two pups. But this time there was a baby bump! Masina and Cody are already so over the moon in love with their first baby boy, you can just see the love coming off of them. They brought one of their dogs, Maverick, to the shoot too! The last time I saw Maverick, he was a puppy. Those who know me, know I am an absolute and complete sucker for a beautiful coconut head doggo. He is already in big brother mode! I cannot wait to meet their sweet baby and have them back in the studio! -Amanda

Hey everyone!! Do you guys think Fall weather is finally starting to head our way?? I sure hope so! I am ready for some cooler weather. This sweet little guy came into the studio recently for his newborn session. He was just around 6 pounds when he came in. The smallest baby I have had in the studio in a while! I was prepared for a super awake baby, since usually the smaller the baby the more awake they are. Not Caiden!! He LOVES his sleep! -Amanda

Hey everyone!! We made it to the end of another week. And boy, has it been a long one! Lets end it on a super cute note, huh? Meet Rhett! This sweet bundle of blue eyes came into the studio at almost a month new. But he was just as sleep as a 10 day old! I was SO excited when Mom asked if we could do something Harry Potter related. -Amanda

Hey everyone!! I got to hang out with Miss Eloise recently for her six month milestone. I cannot believe how fast time is flying by!! Mom brought in one of the bonnets that Eloise wore for her newborn photos, and it was still a perfect fit. Eloise has the biggest and brightest blue eyes ever! -Amanda
