so proud.

My little man is growing up so fast! He is so extremely proud of this outfit. We have a family wedding coming up soon and Brandon wanted to wear a tie SO bad. After I washed his new clothes (it needs a good ironing before the big event) he was begging to try them on and go outside to take pictures. Of course, how could I resist? He amazes me everyday and oh, how I love him!

morning light.

Another great session with a super cute little group of siblings. They were quick... but we managed to get some great shots while enjoying the beautiful morning light.

in-between.

I LOVE photographing children between the ages of 6-13 age. Kids this age are often what I call the "in-betweens." They are no longer babies/toddlers and are not yet mature enough to be called young woman or men. We tend to use their school photo to document each awkward stage but, of course, as a photographer those school photos do not do this age group justice!

As parents, we tend to photograph our children SO much as newborns, babies and during those early toddler years. And then... there is this huge gap, life happens, we get busy and then before you know it you are scheduling their senior portraits. Ahhh... if only we would get the in-between years. This age just screams beauty, growth and that teeter-totter of innocence. It's breath-taking to me and so you can just about guess how excited I was to meet these two beautiful girls and their gorgeous family.

a new stage.

Well, my birthday is pretty much over. But, what a great day. New haircut and my husband surprised me with an hour long, much needed, massage!!! Now, feeling older but much more refreshed.

This beautiful family below has had some trying health issues over this past year. However, things are going great now and it was an honor photographing this stage in their lives. Big brother was on the move and he sure was quick! I enjoyed our conversation and their fun family energy.

today. i. am. 30.

And, this is how it feels...



So, since I am 30 today (oh good Lord... seeing it in actual print is giving me a bit of anxiety while I type)... I thought it would be a great day to kick off a little something new for Amanda Fish Photography. Many clients have asked, so now you shall receive. What is it you are wondering? Okay, I will tell you.

In addition to offering the same professional quality prints I have now decided to offer digital collections to meet the needs of many clients who prefer to print their own images. Collections start at $550.00 and all come with a reproduction release to print unlimited copies. Your digital files will be uploaded to mpix where you can print your images, order your CD archive, and any additional products. Please view the attached link for more information:

sleepy.

This little one melted my heart and slept so soundly throughout the entire session. We tried to get her to wake for a few open eyed shots but she was not having it! She is just so precious and was so much fun to work with.

family.

I had another terrific family session last week with this group. Super fun kids, great parents and a beautiful summer day. I have the best job... just look at these cuties!
