Maddy Rasmussen : Class of 2014 : Amanda Mae Photography

Meet Maddy from Stanwood High School!

She's such a sweet heart, has a deep love for her horse, Bella, and is such a beautiful person! 

For Maddy's shoot, we did a total house call and brought the AMP Squad over to her home to get her all dolled up for her shoot. Shoes galore and clothes everywhere, Maddy was just fantastic! With the help of her ma, we not only had so much fun; but was able to capture some awesome moments!

We started on their grounds in the brush and weeds, which of course the sun was so perfect! Headed on over to the stables to meet with Ms. Bella, who of course, being a two year old baby, didn't really want to participate in the portrait taking lol. Sometimes that happens with ponies, especially babies and it is totally ok! So, let's just play in the barn and take some pics around there. We were able to snag a few of Maddy in the barn, which happen to be some of my favorites, and even had a few moments captured of her and Bella just being together.

The ultimate moment was when we headed out to the "creek". Knee deep, well for me anyway, because of my shortness; Maddy was all prepared and just sunk right down into the water and worked her best mountain mermaid moves. Popped into the tube for some amazing fun summer time pics!

Thank you ladies for everything! Even for PIZZAAAH!! It was so much fun and Im so happy to see Bella doing awesome!!! Congrats Maddy and I cannot wait to see all the amazing things you will accomplish!
