Elijah

I wanted to post some recent head shots I did for this cool kid from California! He was so chill in front of the camera, made my job pretty dang easy.

Does he not have one of the coolest looks you've ever seen???

Not everyone can pull of cool AND comfortable. He sure did.

Thanks Elijah! Hope you like 'em!

Welp, that's embarassing.

Hey Bloggers! Long time no talk to.

So a recent client actually called me out on not posting to my blog anymore. Unfortunately, I don't have a very good excuse...in fact, I don't have an excuse at all! I've been slacking big time, and to Kylie and all you other preview-less clients I've had in these, my lazy days, I do apologize.

Please accept this super mini preview as a peace offering and show a little faith. I promise to update more often!

It's really a shame I'm such a horrible blog-keeper as of late because this family was truly, a BLAST to shoot. If they seem like their laughing in every picture, that would be because they were! I had a hard time even asking them to pause for a picture because it was so obvious that the laughing was just so THEM. Loved getting to capture their joy on camera. Hope you guys are happy with some of your shots!

One more thing I was craaazzyy about on this shoot was how obviously they all understood the power of love, and it was even more obvious who their examples were. Mom and Dad were so fully happy just being together. It was QUITE inspiring.

Thank you guys so much for letting me get to know your family! Really, you were great. It was an honor.

Talk to you all soon - yes, that's a promise.
Love, AmalieMaren

Hot.

Somebody please slap me. These two just CAN'T possibly be this hot.

As usual, check Flickr for a few more!

Maggie and Randy

Can you even believe this gorgeous girl is about to have a baby?

This is Maggie. She and Randy are the neatest soon-to-be-parents around! They were so much fun to hang out with and the camera just loved them.
Thanks so much for letting me shoot you guys - I can't wait to meet the little girl!

...and as always there's a few more on my Flickr. Check it.

Can I order a headband from you? :)

I actually recently moved from UT to AZ and don't have any of my crochet work with me. I do appreciate the interest though! Thank you much!

Ask me anything

Would you rather be really hot or really cold?

Definitely really cold. I grew up in Arizona and have definitely had enough of the heat to last me a life time!

Ask me anything

Call off the search party.

she's back.

I know I've been MIA. Here's the story:
...
Okay you got me. I don't actually have a good story. Let's just say...

I've been job hunting: FAIL.
I lost CS5: FAIL.
My schedule is all flopped and I'm never up for the good light: FAIL.

Over it - Moving ON to more excitement. Ready??

Here is some serious inspiration for you.

NUMBER ONE.

My wildest dreams came true.
Design Sponge did a city guide for Seattle! Could this life GET any better? I submit that it could not!!
I'm so hitting these places up as soon as I get there:

The RE Store - Ummm...coolest concept ever? I think so.
Cupcake Royale - Anybody who puts Toasted Coconut and Lime in ONE cupcake deserves some attention.
Area 51 - Because I want this chair.

La Rousse - Cause I have a crush on Indie styles. Yesssssum.
Fireworks - FUN! These are the kind of places that get me in trouble wifff da bankkk. Shhh.
Pikes Place - Does this one even need an explanation? THE most beautiful place I have ever been.
Seattle Flowers - Because as soon as I get out of the desert? I will neverrrr again take granted having color in my house. :)
DREAM boutique - This dress? Necessary.

Stuhlbergs - Ahhhh...home decor. How you steal my heart.
Earthwise - Awesome awesome awesome idea. I would just LOVE to be able to say I have something from this place, in my home. Who wouldn't though? Really?
Molly Moon's - Cute. I could go for some handmade IC love right now.

What do ya think? Anyone else got a favorite I didn't mention?
Loves.
AmalieMaren

What's the furthest you've ever traveled?

Seattle, WA.
I'm gonna live there soon.
It's home.

Ask me anything

Benjamin Button.

Doesn't he just have the cutest lil' ol' man face you've ever seen? This kid...is a doll.

Super mini-session with this little family. They were so good about letting me shoot them in 105 degree weather! Maybe we'll get a lucky cold spurt and have to set up a "for-real-this-time" shoot. Meanwhile...The camera just loved em.

...and a few more on flickr.

Changin' it upppp, already.

Heyyyy there!
I gave the blog a make-over last night.

Thought I'd try keeping my favorites (of late) in the header. Let me know what you think!

Had some mirror fun today too. Hadn't done a shot like this in a longggg time!
Love it!

Would you rather be rich or famous?

Why is "both" not an option?

Ask me anything

Cupcake, anyone?

This [cute girl] has her own little baking business and she let me do a little "promo" shoot mini-session for her yesterday. They were so much fun! She's one of those girls who has that style and personality that you just have to love!

Seriously? What a doll.

See more on my Flickr!
