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

YOU

This is a little shout out to my clients!

My clients that book their AMP Senior Portrait Experience are definitely one of a kind!

They're unique, fun, bold, daring, sassy, and so much more. Totally not your average every day run of the mill kind of a gal. One that has a strong head on her shoulders, is her kind of young woman and that small perfect element that makes them unique to their own individuality.

My clients are amazing, stunning inside and out and it is such a privilege to be able to capture them!

AMP is not for the faint of heart but for those who believe in that special quality of themselves, who believe their lives mean more to this world, who believe they are unique in every way.

It's me, it's her, it's YOU!

Become my client and let's experience your time, your year and capture YOU the AMP Way!

Now Booking Class of 2015

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.

Grayson Baden : Class of 2014 : Amanda Mae Photography

Meet Grayson!

Class of 2014 and one of THE MOST SWEETEST girls EVER! She has the cutest little voice and is just the sweetest little thing, she makes my teeth hurt!!

Grayson's day started out at our AMP Headquarters, where she got dolled up with hair and makeup and of course her amazing wardrobe! I was so excited when she busted out her Jessica Simpson Platforms, I just couldnt wait to pair them with her teal pants!

Grayson, was absolutely stunning and even stunned me a few times. Given her sweet disposition and almost soft/shy personality; she totally ROCKED my socks off! She just busted out her model-esc and just stunned me and Shana, my MUA. She was so awesome, that we have now coined a pose after her "The Grayson"( the second image down).

It was an amazing day to be able to capture this wonderful young lady in all of her different selves. From serious edgy, to soft and sweet to even beachy summer, Grayson was just a joy to capture!

To Grayson and The Baden's, thank you all so much! From the fresh salad right out of your garden, to the amazing time we had in your own "backyard creek" to yes, even my bug bites lol, I had such an amazing time!

Grayson, I cannot wait to see what things you accomplish in your future! Good things little lady!! Thank you again and Congrats!!! xoxoxo!!

xoxo,

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!
