Mad for Madden!

I have known Tara since I was literally Madden's age! We were born 5 days apart and our parents were good friends, so it was super crazy when Tara had a little one of her own and I got to take pictures of him! I was super excited and Madden was such a little star. He really did a great job even when we took off all his clothes to shoot his cute little wrinkly bum. He has the cutest cranky face I have ever seen. Thank you Tara and Jake for letting me spend some time with your wee one--you are super lucky, and Tara I have to say, after editing these, it's hard to deny that he really does look like his mommy! Can't wait to see him again! xo

Gunther!

Right, so even though Gunther isn't my dog, I pretty much love him as much as if he was my dog . After a two-year hiatus from visiting Gunther I finally got to see him last night and he was just as awesome as ever--just a little more grey. At almost 18 years old, Gunther still has the same stunned look on his face that he did as a pup! Seeeeaaaal.

Preview: Madden!

So he might have been the cutest little thing I have ever seen. By far one of the teeniest, tiniest, CUTEST little humans I have ever seen. Did I mention that at only a few weeks old he was an absolute star? Totally adorable! Thank you Tara and Jake for the great afternoon! For now, a tiny preview of the tiny human called Madden :)

Lynsey, Russell, and a Whole 'Lotta Fun

Being in the UK was a huge adventure and one of the best things about being there was meeting the amazing people that I did. Lynsey started off as the coolest boss I've ever had and quickly became my friend! I had the privilege of attending her wedding at the end of August and acted as a very unofficial photographer snapping photos of everyone all night! She made a beautiful bride and had the best band I've ever head at a wedding! I finally got around to editing a few (moving overseas and getting re-settled in your home country takes WAY longer than I thought it ever could) and I hope they enjoy them just as much I enjoyed taking them! Will post more as soon as I'm in the new place and have a bit of time! Congratulations to you both and thank you so much for letting me be part of your special day! Here is a quick sneak peak for now!

Delightful Dainton!

I love photographing babies, especially ones as cute as Dainton! I have had the pleasure of photographing Dainton before and was ecstatic to here that I would get to photograph him again. His tiny feet, those tiny hands--it really is almost just TOO cute. Thank you Sam and Dainton for such a lovely afternoon on my couch and in my very tiny (and apparently bug infested!) front yard! You were both stars! On a side note: I REALLY need some new lenses and definitely need that camera upgrade!

Preview: Dainton!

Today I had the pleasure of taking MORE pictures of baby Dainton! He was so adorable I couldn't wait to start sorting through the millions of photos I took of him! He truly was a star today--it has been nearly impossible for me to choose a picture to preview! I liked how you can see the sky those big, dark peepers of his! Thank you Sam and Dainton for a lovely day--check back soon for some more!

Remember, Remember the Month of Movember.

Well moving all my photos from one blog to the other has not gone so well--we are moving back to Canada in two weeks and things have been crazy busy! I should have some more time to get it all sorted once I get home! I was going through some photos trying to decide which ones would make it to the new blog (can't bring them all!) and I came across these little gems. Movember is a great cause! Do it if you can!


Friday 3 June 2011

Welcome to the new blog! It is fairly empty right now but I hope it will fill up quickly! I started 'Amanda In A Big City' to allow my family and friends to get a better glimpse of my life here in the UK, but it pretty much turned into a photoblog where everything went. So I decided to create a new blog where I can put photos of all the lovely people that I meet who are awesome enough to let me into their lives for a few short hours to take pictures of themselves, family or friends.

I am super lucky to have had the opportunity to meet and photograph such a beautiful little girl for my new blog! Thalia is absolutely adorable and was quite shy at first, however, she quickly came out of her teeny tiny human shell and was such a little star! She truly was too cute for words! Thank you to Thalia and her lovely parents for a great afternoon :)
