Julie + Mike :: Anytime

Julie and Mike are stunning… I am not sure there is another word to describe them.  I spent some time with them Sunday morning and came out with so many great photos.  Julie is an aspiring model… so it made it SO much easier for me to pose her!  There may be nothing more gratifying during a shoot then when clients just “get it”.  Seriously, I must have said.. “Julie, that’s perfect” eighty gazillion times.  Easy button… check!

Below are just a few of my favs!

Julie & Mike :: Sneak

This picture just speaks for itself… I mean, really… can you say hello gorgeous?!  I went to high school with Julie, so it was so great to be able to take some shots of her and her boyfriend Mike this past weekend.  They are moving out to Hawaii in October and I could not be more jealous.

Julie and Mike… thank you for taking the time out of your schedules and trusting me to take these… so many more great ones to come.

amanda joy photography :: remade

When I first realized that photography was such a passion of mine, I couldn’t wait to get behind my new Canon T1i and test it out for all the couples in the world!  Little did I know, that with photography… comes patience.

This year has been a growing year for amanda joy photography.  It’s been a year of learning new things about myself.. a year of not really knowing what the next day will bring… and a year of taking life by the reigns and saying, “Hello life, why don’t you just follow me”.

Less than a year later, I sit here with my new Canon 5D Mark II and I am amazed… amazed at the fact that I could be so giddy over camera equipment… CAMERA equipment.  Someone stop me, seriously.  When I’m fortunate enough to buy a new lens, I go home and just gush… I swoon, there you have it, I swoon.  It’s in those moments that I genuinely consider waiting on the street corner until a couple agrees to let me take photos of them so I can test out my new baby.

This post today is solely to introduce my new logo that I am SO excited about!  I wanted something chic and simple.  Do you realize how hard it is to put together a vision for a logo that you’ve never seen before!?  Woof.

A dear friend, and might I say fabulous graphic designer put together this logo for me.  You can check out Aliya’s latest work HERE.

Hello friend… welcome.

Scott Graduates :: I’m Old.

Last night my youngest brother Scott graduated high school!  It was surreal sitting there where I once was 6 years ago walking that same isle.  6 YEARS.  Wow.  Hello world… I’m old.

Scott is headed to Penn State and we could not be more excited for him and what his future holds.  Wishing you all the blessings that God has in store for you little bro.

It’s All In The Decor :: Just For Fun

When I step into a house that is shabby chic or has some sort of vintage style to it… I am intrigued.  I wonder who the designer was and how I can be more like them.  I go over in my mind what my room looks like and if I like the style enough to redesign my room for the 3rd time this year.  Most of the time I sit there wondering if Homegoods will do the trick?

It’s my thing… what can I say?  Photography and Decor.  That’s me in a nutshell.  A big ball of crazy-lady-antique-shopaholic-can’t-wait-to-own-my-own-house-so-I-can-make-it-pretty nutshell.

During my stay at the Conrad Hilton in Chicago I was consumed with all the little details that the hotel incorporated.  Enjoy!
