Let it snow…. {Amanda McKinley Film Photography}
Last winter I didn’t get the chance to do any photography in the snow due to our unseasonably warm weather. Ohio recently saw more snow in two days than we got all of 2011. As you can imagine, I was itching to get outside and shoot.
When my friends, Rachel and Ryan, mentioned shooting engagement photos in the snow, you better believe I was excited to get together. It was cold, but we had fun! I even managed to fall flat on my arse!
Hey, I aim to please and provide a bit of humor when I can…
How fair is Fair??? {Amanda McKinley Film Photography}
Pretty darn fair when you’re photographing these two! Much thanks to Dave and Amanda for being my super model guinea pigs as I finally got my chance to shoot a couple at the Ohio State Fair. It was hot, crowded and fun, and I’m super thrilled with the results. I could have spent all day there, with so much to see and do.

Time flies…. {Amanda McKinley Photography}
It never ceases to amaze me how much a baby changes in one year. It is incredible how we go from totally helpless, to wanting to do it all on our own in such a short amount of time. I am way beyond baby stage with my family, so it’s always a pleasure to spend time with friends and family who are in those beginning stages of life. I miss it for sure!

Mornings with Oatis… {Amanda McKinley Film Photography}
I had an opportunity to spend a cold morning with my new buddy Oatis and his family. While my time with Oatis and his floppy tongue were lighthearted and fun, the real reason for my session was Tanya and her husband Eric. Eric was recently diagnosed with cancer. I am always inspired by how different people deal with situations, especially when it comes to illness. Tanya’s strength through the newness of this has humbled me beyond words.
This week should hopefully offer up some answers for this sweet couple about treatment. So please join me in prayer for direction and peace through the up and coming days.
Thanks Tanya, Eric and Oatis!!
