Lifestyle Newborn Session Meet baby Ella. Ella Scott Noble. Her first and middle names are named after ancestors from both sides of her family. Her parents are dentists, and she is already making her first move at just 3 weeks old! She came almost a month before her due date because she was so excited […]

1 Year Studio This week was very busy with shooting, which is a refreshing change of pace from all the computer work I’ve been doing the last two weeks. I’ve had some portraits every day, and this family was one of them. The Moyers: a family that feels like my family at this point. I […]

1 Year Studio Session I think this may have been the happiest 1 year studio session that I’ve ever photographed. He literally came in the door smiling, loved my camera, was super social, and is adorable!!! My studio sessions have changed a little bit. Now that we are expecting baby #2, we’ve had to turn […]

2018 Favorite Portraits There is a second branch to Amanda May Photos, and that is portrait photography. Portrait photography includes seniors, families, newborns, maternities, birthdays, headshots, fundraisers, anniversaries, and more. It’s pretty much anything I shoot that is not a wedding or an engagement, which are the main purpose of AMP. Sometimes, it means shooting […]

Studio session Shooting in the winter can be tricky. It hasn’t been as tricky this year as it usually is because until now, the weather has been generally super warm! With babies under 1, shooting outside in the winter just isn’t an option. Their noses get SUPER red and runny, and they are just not […]

Studio 3 Month Session Elliana was one of the smiliest babies I have ever seen at a studio 3 month session. She was smiling, talking, and tummy-timing like a 6 month old. I told Edie and Josh this, too, but I think she’s going to be sitting up at 4 or 5 months old. Also, […]

Newborn Studio Oh, you guys. I am so excited to share this sweet, precious newborn studio session with you! Dustin and I have known the McElroys for a couple of years now. They were a part of our very first small group, and I’ll never forget how welcoming Emily made me feel. Within the first […]

Studio work This little girl was born to love fresh florals. In case you didn’t know, she’s the daughter of the AMAZING Lesley Britt with LB Floral. I thought it was only fitting to include all my house plants in the first set of her 6 month studio pictures! When I say all my house […]

4 Months You always hear everyone say that when you have kids, time flies. In the blink of an eye they’re choosing colleges then getting married and before you know it, you’re a grandparent. But really… there is absolutely NO way to prepare yourself. Just like on wedding days, everyone will tell while you’re still […]

6 Months OLD!!!!! I made a connection with Ann in a really hilarious way that I just have to share. Ann was a bridesmaid in one of my September 2017 weddings. I arrived to the wedding before the girls started getting hair and makeup done and introduced myself to everyone. This group of girls was […]

Amanda May Photos Studio Wait… what? Amanda May Photos has a studio now? Well, not really. It’s just my house. But if you haven’t been here in the last year, you don’t know that I have converted the front “formal” living space to my office/studio. It’s the room you walk into from the front door. […]
