Courtney | Class of 2012 [ Snohomish WA Fashion Senior Photography ]

Courtney is Class of 2012. She was one of my Seniors when I was back in California. She absolutely took my breathe away when we were doing her shoot. The fierceness and the "SMIZING" that she was giving me was seriously un-real!

We started off the day by heading to The Make Up Artist's and after her "pampering" we headed out to the shoot location. It was hot and the sun was beaming; but Florence was cranking on the speakers and we were totally having a great time. I will admit, this post does make me miss cali a bit; but I can't wait to see what you amazing WA Seniors bring! I bet I haven't seen anything yet!

Thanks again all, missing you Court and all my Cali Seniors!

WE ARE MOVING....

Hey everyone!

Well, we have totally made the move from sunny SO CAL to the PACIFIC NORTH WEST.....I wish I could have posted about the process of The Move, but honestly....it was way to crazy to even THINK STRAIGHT lol. BUt we are currently residing NOW IN the BEAUTIFUL GREEN STATE, WALLA WALLA WASHINGTON!

I am absolutely in LOVE. I adore living here and yea, everyone talks about the rain; but its still so utterly gorgeous and I sware every time I look in the brush, I sware thats where Twilight was filmed hahaha jk.....Well, we are settling nicely and....

I guess you're wondering about the new Banner Header...YES lol...Over long thought process I have decided to change from Sparrow Memories Photography to AMANDA MAE | PHOTOGRAPHY. It has taken me a few years to figure out that I absolutely with all my heart adore SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHY. That is the sole purpose for the change....Though we have made this amazing move from smoggy cali to our beautiful home in Marysville Wa, it was like a fresh start, a new beginning a NEW CHAPTER in the amazing adventure called LIFE. So, it seemed sooooo fitting to hang up my sparrow wings and re-invent myself.

I want to challenge you! If you find yourself in situations where you just need change....DO IT! Im reminded of the verse the "Great Book" says "I press toward the mark of the prize, forgetting those things which are behind..." So Im pressing on, pushing on and taking those dailey steps, leaps, jumps and sprints to the goal and prize. Whatever it may be, happiness, family, the matter of fact is.....I FINALLY FEEL LIKE IM LIVING!! And it is a MARVELOUS feeling!

So, with that HIGH I want to introduce the NEW and IMPROVED Sparrows.....AMANDA MAE | PHOTOGRAPHY. Its me, Amanda and my "future" daughter's Middle Name....Cute huh! DONT STEAL IT ;) wink...ANYWAY...

MY GOAL: To provide amazing Senior Photography inspired by Fashion and a little bit of that vintage vibe we all love.

MY PROMISE: To always be true to myself, my family and my SENIORS! Pushing myself to better myself to give my clients the most amazing experience and memories!

MY HEART: To show beautiful girls HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY REALLY ARE!!!

ok, well that was a BUNCH loll...I never know how to end blog posts so Ill just send it with a pic from a Senior Sesh with THE NEW AM|P LOGO!
