It's a BOY!!!

Well folks this is Amanda! You will have to bear with me as this is my first post all by myself! A dear friend of mine from work is having a baby boy due...well like yesterday-literally! I volunteered Bryan, and myself of course, to shoot a maternity session for her as her baby shower gift...besides the baby shower I threw which turned out awesome in my opinion :) I'm getting more and more comfortable in my photography and editing skills so I decided for this session I would edit the pictures I took, the way I like, and make a blog post! Please leave me some comments to let me know what you think...be brutally honest! I really enjoy this as a hobby and would love to help B more once we both feel comfortable enough for this to be his actual job, so your comments mean the world to me, good or bad :)

So we met up with Nancy and Tyler, and of course little Tayton in Guthrie on the one day that week that was NOT tornado windy! I was really pleased with my pictures and know B's that he is working on are amazing. He has way more sessions to edit than I do...so here is my sneak peek of Nancy and Tyler's session. Enjoy!

AWW these are beautiful!! I really love the soft editing in the black and white photos!! I personally really like in the color ones for the colors to 'pop' a bit more BUT they are still absolutely gorgeous! beautiful work!
