Nicole West : Class of 2014 : Amanda Mae Photography

This is Nicole!

She is so adorable, has the most amazing hair ever and is such a sweet heart! A Panther at Snohomish High School, where she is Class of 2014!

Nicole is such a sweet girl, hardworking and works at the ever so lovely Hoity Toity Boutique here in the Snohomish County. We started her day in hair and makeup, which of corse her hair was just gorgeous and her eyes, amazing green! We headed around to some of our favorite spots and even found a small apple orchid in the oddest of places; but thats Washington for ya.....forest and fields at the drop of a hat!

The sun was perfect that day and gave a stunning light. Nicole was so fun with all of her different outfits and looks, I just couldn't wait to get to our last outfit, the ever so favorite plum maxi dress. It was so stunning and Nicole looked amazing in it, with the pairing of the green grass, it was a perfect way to end our day!

Thank you Nicole for such an amazing experience. You are truly beautiful inside and out. I love how much of a hard working young lady you are and I cannot wait to see what your future holds for you!

XOXO!!

Megan McCrorey : Class of 2014 : Amanda Mae Photography

This is Ms. Megan!

Class of 2014 and a Lakewood High School girl, and her EYES....AMAZING!!!

We had such a fun time on our shoot. We stayed around the AMP HQs as Megan rocked her Fashion Shoot! She had the perfect teal dress and paired with her adorable red belt, it was like the fashion gods opened the heavens and poured out their blessing haha. Ok, ok, well it was a blast to capture!

The wind was our friend that day and was breezing her hair in the perfect way! Towards the end of our shoot, the sun was at it's perfect point and Megan had mastered her fierce face and we captured one of my favorite black and whites.

Thank you so much Megan! You are beautiful and Im so excited for you and your future!! Get out there and be the best YOU you can be!

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.
