AMP Model Winner : Seattle Shoot Out : Amanda Mae Photography

Hey everyone!

So, super congrats again to my amazing 2013 AMP Model Winner, Bailey Toupin, from Snohomish High School! So proud to see her journey in her life begin to happen as she prepares for college and all that is to come!

Because she was our winner, we had set up a major HUGE Shoot in Seattle with our photog friends! Inspired by spring, the cutest little pup, and with the help of some awesome photographers, it was so great to be able to give Bailey this amazing experience, we even had her bring her friend, Paige, along as well!

Ultimately, Bailey was in the middle of the streets of Seattle, working it, working the cold breeze and being the center of attention to several photographers and all of the tourists' interest lol. I can't wait to see whats in store for our 2014 AMP Models, because I'm planning something HUGE!! SO EXCITED!....enough chit chat, here are some fun pics and check out the video to see what Ms. Bailey was able to experience because of her hard work at workin' her AMP Model Status!!!

x's and o's,

Amanda
