The Bishop Family

Dear Bishops,

Easy.

Easy peasy and loads of fun is what you all are.

I love all the photos in your gallery. Your children are adorable, crazy cute and seriously... that many smiles? I really enjoyed watching all four of you but I must say the way you and Craig were together was really special for me. Super encouraging and sweet. The ones of just you two are some of my absolute favorites even though I don't post a lot of them here.

Merry Christmas Jen and Craig. It is quick approaching and I hope these pictures make it that much merrier.

I'm excited to share with you a (large) handful of my favorites. I love pictures, maybe too much, so a sneak peek really should be much smaller but I, well, I just can't help myself.



























Enjoy,

Amanda

EveryDay Life Session: The McNeill Family


Over 16 years, 5 kids...

and not an outdoor family photo?!

This my friends is a travesty! And not even rain (rain, rain and more rain...) soggy ground and an unexpected chilly morning could stop us from getting your adorable and much deserved family some wonderful photos.

Andrae & Sharif,

You have a beautiful family and Chris and I are so thankful for your friendship. This is a little sneak peek of some of my favorites. Thank you for asking me to be your photo lady, its a real honor to stamp my name on these.

Enjoy,

My Family Session!!

Dear my Momma,


Thank you!!

Chris has been my photographer while I "drove from the backseat" on multiple occasions but never my very own Momma and you did great. 
 
I am always the one who takes the pictures of everyone and last weekend not only did you watch our little people so I could go on dates with my boyfriend and eat insanely yummy food but you helped me get family pictures for our Christmas card!

Usually I do the "self taken" family picture and good night! As my boys get older it is getting more and more difficult. Plus, I'm always concentrating solely on the photography aspect and the remote/tripod ridiculous setup and less on having fun with all my guys.

No lie this was the worst session I've ever had. It was full of whining and fits galore, terrible light because we didn't wake up early enough. On top of all that I got frustrated and I never get frustrated during sessions! It was probably because I wanted sweet pictures so so badly and I knew this was our only shot.

Mom you were a champ in being my proxy, watching you be the photographer was really fun. The blanket on the head bit... genius. You were patient with me constantly making camera adjustments, kind when I got discouraged, and even when the camera was off the tripod you listened to my suggestions and angles I wanted. I can't thank you enough because I love that I too get to have special pictures of my people this year!

Between the three of us taking turns as the shooter we got totally adorable pictures! I'm so happy. 

Looks like I now have my very own Mamatograher :)

Love you Mom, you're the best,
