Alicia & Dustin {Engagement}

I had a great time with Alicia & Dustin. Unfortunately I'm not available to photograph their wedding in November but I was happy to be able to shoot an engagement session for them. They were troopers with the heat and seemed like they didn't even notice. That was probably because Dustin was too busy making Alicia laugh. :)
Congrats to a beautiful couple and I wish you the best!

Give Away Winner!

Ok everyone, I know I'm late but man has life been crazy!

But I am so glad I did this. I was so touched, inspired and impressed by all the nominations I received. I wish I could give everyone free photos! But free doesn't pay the bills, unfortunately! There were so many good submissions that in the end I had to use random.org to choose the winner.

Anyway without further ado, the winner of the $150 credit towards a photo session is...

 

Roberta was nominated by her daughter Lynsee who is a friend of mine. She shared that her mom loves to keep an updated family picture around the house but with most of the kids grown up and married and living all over this just doesn't happen as often as it should. All of the kids and their families will be in town here for the next few months so this is the perfect opportunity to update the family picture and celebrate everyone beiung together!

Roberta/Lynsee contact me to get the details of your shoot figured out! :)

Everyone else that entered check your email for a little something special!

And to everyone- I know it seems early but now is the time to start thinking about family Christmas pictures! Get them done soon so you don't have to worry about cramming it in at the last minute! :) And I will be re-pricing later in the fall so book early and save!

Give Away Winner coming soon!

I will be announcing the winner of the $150 towards a photo session giveaway soon I promise! I have just had some very long days and won't be home again tonight until very late!

Sorry for the delay! Coming soon!

A Photo Session Give Away!!

Hey BlogWorld. I know I have been pretty absent here lately. Sorry about that! :/ I am trying to get caught up on blogging as well as create a new blogsite.

Anyway...

I have had an idea brewing recently and I think it's time to get the ball rolling. I am doing a give away! yep that means a photo session could be yours for $FREE.99!! (except without the $.99) I was trying to decide what kind of give away to do (Family, Senior, Newborn, etc.) and couldn't make up my mind.

So here's how it's gonna work...

Who:
You can nominate someone who you think deserves a free photo session! It can be an aunt, a guy who is a great dad, a woman who deserves to feel beautiful, a cousin who is getting married, a little niece or nephew with a birthday coming up, someone who needs updated family pictures, anyone, even yourself!

What:
A credit of $150 towards a shoot with me! (that covers a full 2 hr session, including a disk with the edited hi-res images).

How:
send an email to anniemariephoto [at] gmail [dot] com with a picture of the person you are nominating and a short paragraph (3-7 sentences) about why you think they deserve the shoot.

**There is something special for everyone who enters even if you don't win!** :)

Contest closes July 31st at 9 pm.

I can't wait so go and spread the word and send me those email nominations! :)

Ashely's 21st Birthday

Ashley’s family is from Barbados. In their culture the 16th and 21st birthdays hold great significance. At her 16th birthday a celebration was held as she came out into society and was recognized as a woman. Now as she turned 21 another celebration was held to recognize her as an adult.

It was a lot of fun to work with Ashely. She was so enthusiastic, even in her emails. And throughout the night everyone I talked to raved about Ashely and what a sweet, nice, caring individual she was. I have to say that I agree.

Amy & Sarah

These girls were so great to work with. Very sweet and so beautiful! My clients make my job so easy! :)

Aimee {Senior 2011}

She can do the splits, volunteers at the hospital even though she has a job at this delicious place. She has a new found passion for baking, is an aunt of 8 and even though she's headed for a career in dietetics, she can't wait to be a mother and wife, when the time comes.

Aimee was the winner of my Senior Giveaway from last fall. I am so glad I did the giveaway and so glad Aimee won it! Her sister-in-law Chaya, a friend of mine, actually won it for her. Thanks Chaya!

I LOVED working with Aimee. If it had been 10* cooler and we could have perfect light for hours on end I would have found  a way to keep Aimee there!

With every email I received from Aimee I got more and more excited to work with her. I could tell just by her emails how much fun she was going to be. And I was right! She was so much fun and such a sweet girl! She was willing to try so many things and even pushed the limits with some of her own ideas. :)

Thank you so much Aimee for letting me capture this exciting time in your life! I know you will do amazing things! Good Luck at ASU in the fall!

 

She had the cutest outfits. I was immediately jealous. And I'm afraid she thinks I am obsessed with her shoes...but then again, I might be...

 

Not all of us are blessed enough to have more than one expression that photographs well! 

Aimee can do it all. Smile, laugh, serious, stunning, fierce. 

D) All of the above.

 

 

Pretty sure I tried to get her to give me her sweater... 

 

This girl loves to laugh.

 

I told you she had some ideas of her own! She jumped off that pole in the bottom left for these! :) 

Gotta love a girl who is daring!

 

Thank you again Aimee! I hope I get to have you in front of my lens again!

Fun!

This is what I am working on right now.

She is...

Stunning

Beautiful

Sweet

Adventurous

&

Fun!

Lindsey & Chantel {Sisters}

I had the chance to meet up with one of my favorite people to check out a new location. Lindsey and I met in an ASL class a few years back and we hit it off instantly. She is an amazing girl and I look up to her so much. :)

These girls were naturals in front of the camera!

Angela & Kam {Phoenix Engagement}

I know Angela from my first singles ward. She is a sweet, sweet girl. I am so happy she has found the one for her and I am so excited to shoot their wedding in San Diego in June! :)

These two are clearly in love!! They behaved as if I wasn't there! It was perfect. :)

This last one just might be one of my all-time favorite images.
