Amanda Blythe Photography » {We are engraven in His palms}

Alright here we go!  Get ready to put on your seatbelts cause we’re movin’ quick!  ;o)  [just jokin'... we're just making an announcement]  [[also, please forgive me because I'm in quite the quirky mood today]]

So after a  little over 3 years of dipping my feet in the ‘photography pool,’ I have found where I love swimming the most… in the deep end!

If you talk to any other photog out there and ask them what is one of the most challenging types of sessions to shoot, they would probably say something along the lines of Wedding Days.  Yes there are challenges with weddings sometimes due to lighting, locations and unexpected weather issues, but the biggest part of that is everything that goes into it!  The planning that leads up to this tremendous day in one very special couples lives together… this is an important moment.  As a photographer, I am expected to document this day with class, artistry and consistency…  That first time they see each other on the wedding day, whether through a First Look Session or as she’s walking the aisle with her father – yeah I’m responsible for giving that moment back to them to remember for many years to come.  Their first kiss as husband and wife, their families and friends that surround them with love, the little details that the bride so delicately pieced together to make up for the perfect wedding day – I am responsible for that… and this is not a responsibility that I take lightly by any means.  I study up on my couples, on their families (even learning their names and relation to the couple), on their venue and vendors.  I review the lists of shots that are vital for my couples to have and I dream about them in my sleep.  I love everything that goes into weddings (as I have since I was a young girl) and I wouldn’t trade my couple’s for anything!  I have been VERY blessed through these three years with some very amazing clients and cannot emphasize enough gratitude to all of you for choosing me.  

(Okay, I will stop sounding like a hallmark card and get to the point now)

Amanda Blythe Photography will be limiting our services to strictly weddings, bridals, engagements and trash the dress sessions.  We will not be shooting anymore families, children, seniors, or regular portrait sessions.  This is a decision that we are making for right now and this MAY change again in the future.  

Many of you know that Amy Konieczka (my assistant but also very amazing fellow photographer friend of mine) had taken over our ‘non wedding related’ sessions here for a while now.  Just to give you an update, Amy is going nowhere… she is here to stay and we going strong!  Amy is expecting another sweet baby on the way in their family so she is on  maternity leave right now.  With my focus on everything ‘weddings,’ I just simply cannot keep up with the demand of ‘non wedding related’ photography right now.  [just so you know, this has been a very hard decision and has been a hard process to implement simply based off of our very sweet and loyal clients in the past - - - again, grateful]

I would love to tell you more about something wonderful that’s coming down the pike and I will be posting the next blog on that in just a few minutes…. so stay tuned!  

For now, here is a hint about what I will be talking about….
