    Haley + Kaden | Engaged!

    At the end of April my Dad and I drove to Missouri for my grandparents’ 60th wedding anniversary party.

    The drive was loooooong and not always scenic, though some of it was very very scenic, but it gave us lots of time to talk about …everything. In addition to seeing/meeting a boat load of family, some of whom I hadn’t seen in 10+ years, I also got to discuss wedding photography plans with my cousin’s daughter and her fiance. I remember when Haley was BORN! …and now she’s getting married. The universe can be pretty crazy sometimes. Haley and Kaden were originally planning a late October wedding, but with his deployment dates constantly being revised they decided to move it up to 4th of July weekend and go with a Red, White, and Blue theme. During my April visit we also had the opportunity to do an engagement session at her folk’s house and in Downtown Lamar. These two are sooooo cute together and I can’t wait to see everyone again in just over a month!!!

    "I feel so lucky to have had Amanda there with us to document every major milestone in our relationship: engagement, wedding and now our very first pregnancy!

    She has become such an important part of our lives and made each event even more special with her photography and positive energy."

    - Erika + Matthew

    "Amanda has an amazing ability to capture the actual emotions of the experience on camera... All our guests fawned over our amazing and artistic photos, and I know the pictures will be excellent memories for years to come.

    More personally, Amanda is a super kind and generous person that clearly loves what she does."

    - Alison + Austin

    "I told [Amanda] I wanted some branding and lifestyle photos for my new website and social posts and she more than delivered!

    Seriously. I refer Amanda to anyone who wants to feel good about themselves, their business, their products, their event, whatever."

    - Kasey Yanna | Freedom Feels Communications

    "With Amanda, not only do you get a rockstar photographer, you get an experienced professional who understands the emotion and lifelong importance of every moment of a wedding. We received tons and tons of unsolicited positive feedback from our closest family and friends about Amanda. She was a constant source of support and positivity throughout the weekend."

    - Danielle + Matt

    "[Amanda] excels at: attention to detail & understanding the story of each client and shoot, kind and direct communication, and articulating clear instructions to whomever is being photographed.

    [...] she has a special ability to help bring out the best in you and give you photos where you shine!"
