Hey hey hey!!! 🖑 I know it's only Thursday but I thought it was time for a little re-introduction 💕 I'm Amanda! I'm 23 and a full time photographer, full time wife, and full time momma. We have a new account for our Elena Grace @elmbygrace if you want to follow along with more mommy kind of things! Otherwise here you will find mostly wildly in love couples, and rad elopements ✌ I love Jesus, but I'm not the perfect representation most days. I try to be a good momma but I also try to give myself grace and remember I'm still growing too. I'm pretty crunchy (where my crunchy peeps at!?!?), pretty outgoing, and pretty adventurous. I need a beach and sunny skies to photosynthesize, but here we are in Colorado, snow on the ground. 🤷 tell me what the weather is like where you are (let me live vicariously through you🤣😭)
I cannot believe we're halfway through MAY!?! Like when did that happen!? I am so thankful for every single client I've gotten to work with this year! I never imagined I could be full-time doing what I LOVE. I'm trying to decide whether I should start sharing my full galleries in my highlight reels...would that be helpful!?
What a whirlwind of a weekend!!! I am booking up SO fast for summer so if you are wanting to squeeze in your adventure session please DM me or email me ASAP!!! 🍾
These two 😍 They hiked up a mountain, shared the most intimate vows, exchanged rings, and popped a bottle 🍾 AND they let me be a part of it 💓
Being seen. It's something I've struggled with since highschool. Traditional school has this way of making you feel so invisible. So insignigicant in the rush of sports and extracurriculars and academics. Parties you're not privy to, cliques you don't fit in to, the "you can't sit with us" crowd. And for quite a while into my adult life, I still actively felt that way. And I STILL do. So every now and then I try to take a step back. I unfollow other photographers, moms I envy for no particular reason, couples who seem to have it all together, even though we know social media is SO deceiving, its hard to not fall into it. And being seen in a crowd of people all searching for validation is incredibly hard. So, if you don't see me on here after three days, I've probably checked out for some much needed rest and reflection ✌ we all need that break 💓
I have been so absent here, and I'll tell ya why in my next post 😘 but yesterday was my birthday so I am spending the day curating my 23 by 23 blog post and editing all the amazing sessions I've had in the past week 🙌🙌🙌 What does your Monday look like!? I want to know! 👇👇👇
You wouldn't think living somewhere for 3 years would permit you to call a place home, but Hawaii, you are home for me. Where do you call home? We've lived in Florida, Hawaii, New Hampshire, and now Colorado!
Couples who willingly go out on a small ledge with little prompting excite me and also terrify me. In other news, the Mother's Day collection is TODAY!!! Can't wait to see all you mommas there!
More of this pregnancy announcement to come!!!
