ESPECIALLY for a newborn! When Holly told me that she was flying to Utah to photograph her brand new niece, I couldn’t NOT try to find a way to meet her there! Finding a babysitter on such short notice proved to be slightly difficult but seemed as it was meant to be as everything slowly fell into place. I actually didn’t know that i was for sure going till about an hour before I left. But yay me! Holly’s new niece is just about the sweetest thing ever. Holly and I saw her late thursday night after I got in and we could barely sleep thinking about how wonderful it was going to be to be able to photograph this beautiful baby girl. She was such a perfect little model for us. Slept so peacefully and let us squish her, curl her, and do just about anything we could in the few hours that we had with her. We got a TON of fabulous images, but I have just a few to share with you today of this beautiful babe! But don’t you worry… i’ll surely be back posting more and more and more….
i LOVE her name! and it suits her perfectly!
So yes, i had a blast on my short little trip to Utah. We also got to photograph Holly’s baby sister who just got engaged. I’ll have to share a few of those later too.
Yesterday i said my goodbye’s to Holly and headed back home and I just have to share some pics of what happened…
about 30 minutes into my trip back home my car started to shimmy and then shake so bad that i thought it was falling apart. And then i saw smoke through my rear window so i knew i HAD to pull over. The nicest little family pulled over to help me change my biggest flattest tire EVER. I then had to slowly roll back into Ogdgen where I had to sit for 2 1/2 hours while Les Schwab replaced not one, but THREE of my four tires! It could have been a lot worse if I had left any later or gotten any further. But here i am back safe and sound with lots and lots of fun pics to edit!
until next time….
She was such a beauty and a sure natural infront of the camera. i could of photographed her all day and next time I’m in mesa I’ll for sure be giving her a call!
Beautiful images! Her eyes are amazing!
What a natural! Love seeing you do your thang with the PHX shots. Hadn’t seen any laughing shots yet – you captured her so relaxed & at ease – great job!
Gorgeous. She is a stunner! Those first two make me smile & I love the colors! Awesome job Amanda!
stunning
stunning
WOW!! Beautiful photos and a beautiful subject!
Amanda – these are beautiful!! Gorgeous work!!! As always!! 
LOVE your site! What beautiful girt and you are a very talented photographer! Too bad I’m no where near Idaho area (I live in Kansas City) because I’d love to snag you to take our family picture! I just linked to your site! I look forward to seeing more great photos!
Hi Amanda, I love all of your Phoenix shots – you are an awesome photographer. It was so great to meet you!
found the time to take Bella on her 7 year photo adventure. It’s still been pretty cold here, but a few days before I left for Arizona it warmed up to about 55 degrees (yes – that’s warm for us). We grabbed a few outfits and headed out with the rest of the kids in tow…. We drove and drove looking for the right spot and I decided to try out this little abandoned house that I’ve had my eye on… We found some great lights but the goat-heads there were out of control. Do NOT go there without shoes!!!
We then headed over to this old wooden shed on stilts that I saw a few weeks ago while scouting for a family shoot. The light was still a little harsh, but I’ll definitley be returning…. possibly with my hubby’s help.
… and now… I have Haley asking for her turn. Don’t you love it when your kids ASK YOU to take their picture?!?!?….
Beautiful, beautiful shots of your gorgeous daughter!
Oh I love that first one for some reason. You are so awesome. I love checking up on your blog! Is Mesa full yet? I’m still torn between signing up for another of your fabulous classes but i don’t have as much family in arizona so the trip would be a bit trickier & complicated. Anyways, so are you saying eventually my kids will actually ask to have pics taken? It seems unlikely but i’ll keep hoping!!!
Hard to pick a fav (not that you have to) out of these – all gorgeous. Love your pping and how can you take a big photo of such a stunning little girl.
Gorgeous Amanda! I LOVE your processing on these!!!
Amanda, I haven’t the words! truly! fantastic seems much to mild a word for these! beautifully captured!
She is simply stunning as is your work.
She is gorgeous. I love her eyes!
Amanda she is just beautiful! Happy 7th Bella 😀
gorgeous!!!
Cute stuff! Makes me want to “gussy-up” one of my munchkins and take them out for a photoshoot. Love them all!
These are fabulous!!!
Stunning! love the composition and the color!
You always find the best spots! Who knew Mountain home had so many great locations? Bella is beautiful and you got some really wonderful shots Amanda. I think our 1st two kids must be the same age cause I just their 7 year and year shoots too.
Gorgeous daughter, gorgeous images!
Love the outfits, love the pix. Great job!
Aww…sooooo sweet! I love these…i’m sending my kids to you
WOW!! I love all of these!!
Awesome shots and glad you are okay. I can’t wait to see more baby shots and some of the engagement!
Oh yay! I am having so much fun editing these pictures. We HAVE to do some more photoshoots together… we just have too! It was perfect!!!
Beautiful! Such gorgeous use of light, Amanda – you should travel with that camera girl!
OMG, I think I broke down in the same area!!! That garage looks awfully familiar – ack! Glad you are home safe & sound.
Gorgeous window image Amanda and your a lucky girl by the sounds of it.
These are just beautiful Amanda. I love her name too!
LOVE that first image…the light is gorgeous coming through the window. Glad you had someone nice to help you with your car. Can’t wait to see more newborn images:)
WOW Amanda, that first one is fantastic!
LOVE the light, LOVE the comp!
awesome capture!
Sorry about the tires, but you have to admit, it was way worth it! these are stunner images. yummy.
Wow Amanda, sorry to hear about that! Glad it wasn’t anything more serious. You did a great job on these images. The first is so beautiful!
Thanks for driving all that way to come and visit and take pictures of my littlest princess.
You and Holly got some absolutely amazing shots and I am super grateful! I can already tell that it is going to be impossible to decide which pictures to print and blow up. I just don’t have enough wall space!! I think you and Holly are going to have to choose for me. 
That is the pits about your car! At least you were able to get it fixed and there wasn’t a bigger problem than just some tires! I’m glad you got home safe.
OMGoodness .. WOW WOW WOW
LOVE that first image .. WOW!!
Holy moly! I’m glad you are ok! I’ve had a tire blowout before and it was soooo scary!
I absolutely LOVE the shots of the precious baby girl… the light, the surroundings, everything just falls into place for PERFECTION! Beautiful!
oooh…. AMAZING…. that first image is WOW!!!
Just came across your blog. Beautiful pix. I was wondering HOW do you get a newborn baby to sit up in a wrap like you did with Maylee? can’t figure it out.
