Hannah K. | Class of 2015 | Amanda Mae Photography

Meet Hannah! Class of 2015 at Lakewood High School, where she cheers and is involved in her school's activities and is this year's Miss. Aquafest for the city of Lake Stevens Wa!

I first met Hannah in the fall of 2013. It seems like forever ago that she applied to be a 2014 AMP Model! Now here we are, several shoots later and with her Senior Portraits complete, I'm shocked at how fast time just flew by!

With Hannah's Session she wanted something that was her and her personality all the way. What better way to capture her petite figure and dainty features than to channel her inner AUDREY HEPBURN! We were all inspired by Breakfast At Tiffany's! Though the rest of our shoot was just as fun, The Breakfast At Tiffany's segment was one we were all looking forward to. 

In the major heat and sun, Hannah was amazing with suitcases galor, battling the heat from the hot car and even adding a bit of a puppy accessory! Her shoot was just as fabulous and she is and was just too much fun!

Thank you Hannah Girl! We love you, we are so proud of you and contrats!! I know that there is an amazing and wonderful future ahead of you! You are a strong, beautiful and big hearted young lady. I am so excited to see all the amazing things ahead of you!!

CONGRATS PRETTY GIRL!

xoxo, Amanda

Balloon Bae | Samone Jackson | 2015 AMP Model Winner

I am so excited to announce our 2015 AMP Model Winner, Ms. Samone Jackson of Edmonds Woodway High School! All of our amazing AMP Models worked hard and did an awesome job, it was Miss Moni that earned the title as this year's AMP Model Winner!

I wanted to celebrate her winning by doing a special session for the cover of our AMP Magazine and thus The Balloon Bae was born! We had so much fun from getting all the balloons, late night balloon prep party lol and to the styling, hair and makeup. We wanted a bright and fun feel while conveying of course that fashion aspect we always love. Samone was awesome and was so amazing, having fun and being silly. 

Thank you Moni for an amazing year! I am so excited for you to see what is in store for you. Nothing but success girl and I cannot wait to see it all happen! CONGRATS and we love you!

xoxo, Amanda

Natalie Smith | Class of 2015

Meet Natalie! Class of 2015 and is seriously so sweet. Her day was amazing! We started our day outside of our Show Room back when it was out of my home, and even though it wasn't that long ago, it feels like forever ago. Her mom is just so adorable and that hair runs in the family because her mom has just an amazing head of hair herself!

Natalie brought her adorable grandma to the shoot and omg, she was awesome! Handling all the walking and brushes, she was amazing! lol. Natalie, of course, is naturally stunning and we wanted to not only showcase that but bring it out of her as well. With her adorable outfits, accessories and perfect green eyes, our day was fabulous and the weather was perfect. Missing the sun right about now, so here is Natalie's very sunny session! 

Congrats Natalie!!!

2013 AMP MODEL RELEASE PARTY

Food, laughs, fun and a ton of glitter.....

This was our annual AMP Model Release Party!

Every year we have an annual party to celebrate our Senior and Junior AMP Models. It's bitter sweet being that we are saying goodbye to our Seniors and welcoming in our new Juniors. This year it was held at the ever so yummy carb central, Buca Di Beppo in Lynnwood, where we had the amazing BDP crew help with our orders and taking care of all of us ladies.

I was so excited to have prizes and giveaways for our girls and not to mention all of the AMP Model tidbits we went over. This year was also our first year having AMP Awards for several of our 2014 AMP Models.

Titles such as:

* Honorable Mention: Callie Harwood of Snohomish High School,
* Most Memorable Shoot: Ms.Maddy Bye of Snohomish HS
* The Miss Congeniality: Ms Kaitlin Arnold of Arlington High School
* Fiercest Face Award: Ms. Dani Wilson of Lakewood HS
* Our 2nd Place Winner: Ms. Ellen Anderson from Snohomish HS

And this year's AMP MODEL WINNER goes to Ms. Mackenzie Bretz from Meadowdale High School. She will be joining me on a trip to California for a model experience in my first ever Photographer Workshop.

Our Senior and Junior AMP Models sat together and mingled. It was a busy and loud night but it was so much fun! As always, all of our girls got their own delicious cupcake from Simply Sweet Cupcakes and apparently I ordered a bit too many which left some available for our Buca Staff!

I want to give a shout out to all of our 2014 AMP MODELS. I was such a lucky photographer to have such an amazing group of young ladies to be apart of my business and now have become close friends. Thank you ladies so much, you have all touch my heart in a deep way and I am so utterly blessed to have you in my lives and to always carry the name AMP MODELS.
