You know one thing that is so great about this quarantine? The fact that you have an excuse now to stay home and cuddle your babies. I know Morgan and Topher are really feeling that right now because they just welcomed their fourth baby and only boy into the family! You saw him last week […]

A Fresh 48 and Newborn session This blog post is going to be a little bit unique in that I combined two different sessions into one post because they happened so close together. Baby Kai was born the Friday before last. He was welcomed into the world by his parents and three sisters with a […]

Newborn Photos of Sarah Ruth You know, sometimes you meet people that you just click with. You can talk for 2 minutes, and you find at least 15 things you have in common. It happened this week to a couple we showed our house to. No, it’s not back on the market, but they found […]

Nashville Lifestyle Newborn Session Last week, some really dear friends of mine had their first babe. Her name is Ivy Everson, and she is absolutely beautiful. They live in Nashville, and when I photographed their maternity session back in the fall, I had every intention of making the drive to Nashville again when Ivy decided […]

Portrait Best of the Best 2019 One thing you may have noticed recently is that I am taking fewer portrait sessions from new clients. Almost every single portrait you see below has either been a past #AMPcouple, are a dear friend or family member of mine, or they are AMP family alumni (as in I […]

Lifestyle Newborn Session Okay… I LOVE this little girl’s name. I love how they spelled it, I love that it’s for a girl, I love that it’s a last name made to a first name, and I love that she can go by Andi. Andersyn is the daughter of Kari & Brad self. I photographed […]

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 […]

Lifestyle Newborn Session William Reed Tucker. This sweet sweet boy is three weeks old in these newborn photos and he has one of the coolest rooms on the planet. I mean, dude can get a fiddle-leaf fig growing pretty good. All jokes aside, I am so thankful Abby and Will invited me into their beautiful […]

Lifestyle Newborn Session Emily and Brit just went from being parents of one to parents of two. At their lifestyle newborn session, the first thing I asked Emily was so how crazy is it really??? as I am also about to enter that phase of life. So far so good was her initial response. Then, she told me a really hilarious story that […]

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 […]

Chattanooga Newborn Session On Labor Day weekend, Dustin, Grayson and I took a trip south for a Chattanooga newborn session. It was on Labor Day so Dustin had the day off of work, and I thought it would serve as a GREAT excuse to take Grayson to the Chattanooga Aquarium. This super sweet family lives […]

Knoxville Newborn Session Baby Norah was due on June 2nd but ended up coming a few weeks early. She had a head full of thick brown hair and is absolutely beautiful. I joined the Sandy family at their house in South Knoxville. As I drove through a part of town I am not that familiar […]

Newborn Photographs Sweet baby Cooper was a very high maintenance baby in the womb. Not that it was his fault really, but in this pregnancy, Tiffany, a.k.a. mom, was on bed rest for majority of the pregnancy. It was really early on that she had contractions that the hospital gave her medicine to stop as […]
