Fashion Friday : Cream Dream [ Amanda Mae Photography | Fashion Senior Photography ]

Happy Friday everyone!!!

Hope everyone's week went well. As always mine just flies by and before I know it.....its the weekend! Im not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing lol...Anyway, lets get down to business...

 Its great to have a variety of colors, but today we are focusing on one of my personal favorites....Cream/Ivory. Ever look in your closet and see a MASS SLEW of ONE COLOR??..umm yea that would be me with this color. Most of you know who have shot with me know that I LOVE this color. They ask, "what should I.." and before they can finish the sentence Im preaching "CREAM!" haha. lol.

I love this color because you can pair it with almost anything! Jeans, Blazers even those gorgeous High-Low Skirts that are so hot right now.....plus they look amazing in portraits! Be sure and work with in the basics of color tones, textures and accessories.

I love the fact that you can even add it to other colors like coral, teal, even black. To me it just adds an overall gorgeous tone, plus it makes me feel pretty....dont we all like that???

xoxo,

Fashion Friday: Seeing Stripes

HELLO GORGEOUS's !

Well happy Friday everyone!! I can't believe how fast this week went by, with all of the scary thunderstorms and lightening this week, its been an eventful one! 

Well, its FRIDAY and you know what that means....FASHION FRIDAY! This weeks its all about STRIPES! I love how Stripes can add such a pop to your images!

I say try them in fun ways, in a fitted cardigan, a tee synched with a tiny belt or my fav a tank with a blazer! Pair your stripes with a great pop of color, like COBALT or red! Even try and add some amazing RED LIPS to spark everything up!  Add a great shoe with some wild accessories and your outfit of stripes will have your images screaming HELLOOOOOOO GORGEOUS!

Boutique Photographer vs School Portraits [ Snohomish County Senior Photography ]

HELLO GORGEOUS People!

Lately I began to think of the importance and the difference of Boutique Photography and School Studio Pictures. I wanted to help you all with some great information on what to know for your up and coming Senior Portraits, whether you get them straight from your school or hire an outside boutique photographer or both, it is always best to know the difference.

Depending on where you live, there is probably at least two different ways to have your Senior Photos take.... A studio comes to your school and takes them or you have photos taken by the photographer of your choice, outside of school, and in some cases you do both.

Have you ever wondered what is the difference and why each are important?

Some high schools require everyone to have the same type photo taken for the yearbook. Which is why they bring in the studio and you go and have your photo taken just like everyone else. These photos are good for making the yearbook look uniform and classic.

Some high schools allow students to submit their own photos to the yearbook. This allows students to be creative and themselves.

But you DONT have to let your school dictate how you have your Senior Photos taken. Because, there is a THIRD option.....DO BOTH!

That way you can have the classic, traditional yearbook photo and a photo session outside of school that really showcases your personality, your style and who you are today.

Just take a look at the breakdown difference from a Boutique Photographer, like myself vs the School Portrait Studio!

So think about what is best for you and what you will look back on and remember the experience and what an amazing time you had during your big year and if your Senior Photos remind you of that.

Fashion Friday : The Basics

Happy Friday everyone!!!

Here is are some basic Fashion Tips to help celebrate the END OF THE WEEK!!!

When it comes to your outfits of choice sometimes it can seem overwhelming; but who doesn't love a good excuse to go shopping!!

A few things to remember when out shopping for those perfect outfits!

• Color Cominations
• Textures
• Accessories (hats and scarfs too!)
• Shoes

Color Combinations
Think about combining colors that compliment each other or fall in the same "shade" family. My personal favorites are creams, tans and MUSTARD YELLOW! Of corse use your ideas and what you feel prettiest in and what speak you the most.

Textures
When adding texture to your wardrobe it can be in a variety of things. Such as a knitted scarf, fringe on boots or a jacket and even a wool type sweater. All can add an element of texture to your portraits that can help enhance your images!

Accessories
This is my favorite part! Adding a massive amount of bangles and a chain necklace can take your outfits to a higher level. I personally say you can NEVER have too many accessories! Rings, bangles, statement necklaces and earrings are such a great way to bring a cute little spice to your portraits! Don't forget a headband or belt!! Love!

Shoes
Shoes. Shoes. Shoes. Where do I begin?! When I travel, I believe I have to have a bag JUST for my shoes...theres just to many. When shopping for shoes, try to mostly stay with heels. But if you're that casual fashionista, than rock those TOMs girl! Simply put, think about where your Shoot Location will be. Fields? Than maybe a great pair of boots. Urban? Thank maybe those fantastic stiletto heels! Overall you want your shoes to compliment your outfits!

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!
