Before & After….. {Amanda McKinley Film Photographer}

By Amanda | Published June 6, 2013

There is something amazing about bringing new life into this crazy, chaotic world. With this responsibility there so much uncertainty, worry and yet hope for the future. When that day finally comes, the day we become parents, we fall so in love with this tiny helpless being and we know all is as its meant to be.

Deep in the heart of Texas… {Amanda McKinley Film Photography}

….lives my family.

My “little” brother and his sweet family welcomed my daughter and I over spring break as we celebrated Birthday Week 2013!!!

Say wha???? Birthday Week? See, we like to share in my family and why only share toys when you can share your birthday!!! On March 26th, my daughter, my nephew and I celebrated 29 (plus or minus 8 years), 10 and 6 rotations around the sun together. A couple days later, we celebrated my brother’s birthday too. We’ve long talked about trying to be together on our birthdays, however 1700 miles separates us, which sort of throws a wrench into any plans. However, this year things just fell into place. My mom even came out, so it really was a family affair. I only wish my hubby and boys could have been there too.

I brought along my Contax and took a gazillion shots. Personal work, even if it is just family is so important. I knew I wanted to get images of my brother and his family, and as you can see, I was beyond thrilled with that chance. I even got in front of the camera too. It’s never too late to snap a few images of your loved ones. Just do it before you regret NOT doing it!!!

So with that in mind, meet my family….

A Love Story… {Amanda McKinley Film Photography}

By Amanda | Published February 22, 2013

There is something amazing about the bond between a mother and her child. I liken it to a love story. Love that is so pure, so overwhelming, and so unforgettable starts right in the arms of our mothers. It carries on throughout our whole lives until it is us in this very position, falling head over heals for our own sweet little loves.

Many thanks to my friend and fellow FINDer, Emily of E. M. Anderson Photography for opening your home up to me! It was such a pleasure!!
