Update

Sorry I have not posted on here a lot, but I figured I should update everyone that does follow this blog. I have a website under construction and I am going to post images on there as well as blog posts. So until the website is finished please follow me on Facebook at Amped Up Photos to see all my latest images. Thanks!

YouTube Video of Katie and Jake

I uploaded the pictures on YouTube so the video is a little bit bigger.

Katie & Jake

I loved these images. You can tell how much they are in love. It was a lot of fun taking them as well. I hope you everyone likes them as much as I do.
Here is a slideshow of the images:

Since the images get really blurry when you make the video full screen here is a link to the images also:

Shaylee

I have taken pictures for Shaylee four times now and I love it every single time. She is such a big supporter of my photography and has my pictures I took on her wall. Which I love to see! She is an amazing mom and her and her girls are just beautiful. Which makes my job a little easier :) I am so grateful for her and hope to continue taking pictures for her.

Taylor Wedding

Man this was such a learning experience for me. I am grateful I was able to get this experience and learn a lot from it. I realized it is so different then portraits and I am not the greatest at it yet. I hope I will continue to grow though and keep getting better.
I am so happy for Stacey and Kevin they look so much in love and it was nice photographing them. I feel like I took a lot of pictures but I didn't want to miss anything and I still did. Overall I think it was an ok shoot but I wish I did a little better.
Here is the Facebook link to look at the album.

Once again thank you to the Thorsted family for giving me a chance to do something totally new. :)

Katie and Jake

I had a great time taking Katie and Jake's engagement pictures today! I have been friends with Katie for many years and always have a good time when I am around her. Her and Jake are so cute and I am so happy for them. I am grateful they asked me to take their pictures. Katie was one of the first people I ever took pictures of and she is one of the reasons I got into photography. Here is a preview of that beautiful couple.

More of these pictures coming soon after I get the other shoots done. :)  

Engagements

My first engagements are coming up on Saturday. I am pretty excited! I hope that I can do a good job on them. I also need to get working on my other images so that I can start on them after I take them. My life is just been super crazy lately. I am sure soon I will figure out how to work it all in. :)
