Amanda was so kind, patient and professional! She also made my family and I very comfortable. Even more so, we couldn’t be more happy with the pictures!

Amanda was so easy to work with and communication was smooth! She even made it easier on me by doing it inside our home which made the entire experience feel even more special.

A+J got engaged at the end of 2021, and we were able to execute their engagement photo session within those those first couple of weeks! Even in the cold, engagement photos are always a GOOD idea!! Let’s roll it back. Their story is one I don’t think we hear very often these days, and it’s real good. They met + got acquainted via handwritten letters, while J was away at boot camp. One of A’s friends encouraged J to take a chance, and over weeks + months they continued the conversation on instagram and eventually over the phone. When they finally got to meet in person, they knew they wanted to keep pursuing valuable time together! And here they are now, planning to marry βΊοΈ Being asked to photograph their engagement and eventually their wedding is an incredible honor. You’ll be seeing more of them, no doubt! Stay warm! xo, amanda kay
You guys. 2020 came and went and I published a total of four whole blog posts, all before May, and then went straight up silent. (I did stay current on instagram — check that out here if you’re interested.) It’s safe to say this global pandemic has taken a toll on my motivation to blog. I am grateful, however, that this does not mean I wasn’t out there capturing you all— I certainly was, more than any other year! I am back here to say, wow, where did the time go? and also, I still have pretty pictures to share and really want to share them with you! This session is one of my absolute favorite newborn sessions as of late. You will quickly see that the O’Donnel’s home was the ideal backdrop for crisp, bright, beautiful photographs. Truthfully, it was a photographers dream! Enjoy this precious family and let me know what you think! ο»Ώ xo, amanda kay
Last week I met Harbour; she is the sweetest addition to her family, whom I met in July for their maternity+family session. I love meeting new babies in their home surrounded by their loved ones. I love witnessing parents in their first couple of days or weeks as they adjust to this new human in their arms and in their hearts. And I’m honored to be trusted to capture it. Do you have photographs from when your baby was just born? I have very few with me in them, but the ones I do have, I cherish. I don’t want to forget that version of me, or them. I want to remember the feeling of holding the little human who I labored over to get into this world, healing me with every snuggle and coo. I want to remember that new version of me who was so drastically different than just days before, when I hadn’t yet met this tiny life. I hope you enjoy this little snippet of the Arntson’s new normal captured in these photographs! xo amanda
