Editorial : Victoria : Class of 2019

Meet Victoria!

Let me just say this girl right here..HEART!!!

Normally I meet with my clients a month or so prior to their initial session and before we begin any shooting. It helps get any of the jitters out and to get introductions taken care of; but for this month's Editorial Photo Shoot I had to say our hellos and throw Victoria right into the deep end lol. And let me tell you...THIS GIRL CAN SWIM!! She was amazing and just so warm and welcoming, I just totally adore her!

Victoria was like a chameleon, giving me every shade of fabulousness!! And who else can wear a white fur jacket like that?! I mean, seriously!!!

Thank you Victoria girl and our next shoot is going to be A-MAE-ZEEN!!

Editorial : Campbell : Class of 2019

HOLY GUACAMOLEY! This girl right here!!! 

Ok, so let me back up just a tad bit. These are my Editorial Photoshoots. What is an Editorial Photoshoot?! Well, Im so glad you asked!! It's where me and my clients come together for something  creative, unique, real and just freakin' beautiful. 

These Editorial Photoshoots are only available to my current 2019 Senior Clients. My entire goal for these Editorial Photoshoots is to celebrate the true essence of our femininity, of our beauty and who we are as women without all the major extras (**clears throat** makeup, lashes etc....)

In my life, I used to wear a mask physically lol (makeup) and figuratively, well, makeup still when I go out of course *wink wink*. I felt I needed to be perfect, be something everyone wanted, everyone thought of as "successful" or "perfect"; but the truth is, Im not. Im not perfect, Im not exact; but I am me, I am Amanda, with all my faults and in all my short comings, I am still beautiful; I am still feminine, I am still a woman. 

I want to celebrate imperfection not try to attain perfection.

I want my girls to see that it's ok to love the skin you're in, it's ok to love your birth mark, or any of the faults you deem as a fault. It is what makes us creatively unique, real and just freakin' beautiful!

So let's celebrate this together; because baby you never looked so good!

This is Campbell! She is one of my first 2019 clients and a 2019 AMP Model!

I just heart her so much! She is so adorably little, shout out to my short girls YEA-YA!

I love how she just has a confidence when she walks into the room. She is kind, caring and sweet and

is such a joy to be with and spend a day at a coffee house taking pictures! She's daring and bold and ready to try anything like stand on a couch! I like that about her lol!!

Thanks Campbell and Im excited for more shoots to come!!! Great job beautiful girl!!

Senior Pictures Already?!

I know what you're thinking. Whoa! Calm down Amanda Photographer Lady, my child is only a Junior and I cannot wrap my head around the fact that my baby is going to be graduating High School! In all honesty, my son who is going to be 6 this year is going into 2nd grade and that is something I keep wanting to avoid myself. Let's face it, our babies are growing up and its super bitter sweet!

YES! I know it's kind of that gasp feeling; but the fact is, you do need to start thinking of Senior Portraits now. It's not too early, you're actually right on time, you don't want to feel rushed and ultimately you want to insure that you and your new senior get the best summer dates available!

Your Baby Is A Senior

This September you daughter/son will become a Senior. It's crazy to even have that thought pattern; I know! But yes, your child will be going into their last year of High School THIS YEAR.

It's Not Too Early

We are currently booking right now for Senior Portraits. We actually started booking last year for the Class of 2018; but the high time to actually book your Senior Session is right now. You want to insure that you and your daughter/son get those very coveted summer dates, since our PNW Weather is soooooo reliable.

You Are On Time

I know it can feel like it is too early to talk about Senior Portraits for your Junior; but there is a reason to book your Senior Portraits during your Junior Year.

Most schools in the Snohomish and some of King County, allow your Senior to submit their own picture for the yearbook. Everyone definitely wants one of their pictures from their Senior Portrait Session; but the yearbook  due date is right when they start school. Yearbook is due anywhere from Sept-Dec of the beginning of their Senior Year. This is one of the reasons why Juniors rush to schedule and have their Senior Portrait Session the summer BEFORE they start school as a Senior.

Get The Best Summer Dates

There is truth in the saying "The early bird gets the worm." or in this situation the "Early booking gets the best Summer Date". It all boils down to one thing, when you book your Senior Session with the photographer of your choice (**clears throat, ME**) you get to snag the best Summer Dates available.

Most Boutqiue Portrait Photographers, like myself, have a first come first serve basis and typically shoot one client one day. I know that my availabilty as a photographer and portrait studio is very limited to those who book months even a year in advance. So, if you want those later Summer Dates, because you must be "tanned" or it's after you come back from Vacation, or just know that it isn't going to be gloom and doom with the PNW Weather, you definitely want to reserve and book your Senior Session now.

Becoming a Senior and experience the last year in high school is such a special time! You want to have a photographer that understands that, understands what your schools require and ultimately giving you the best to help you celebrate this special time in your life! So, moms and dads, it's time. Call me, I'll help you out! As your baby is going into their last year, mine is on his way to his second....I've got tissues and chocolate, we can cry and have some sweets together!
