I love her.  Fo’ realz.  (Yep…I just went there) So when the ever-so-amazing Heather Maynard of H & M photography asked me if I could join her as she documented a beautiful wedding less than two months after having her sweet little baby, Augustus, I said yes. Heck YES. Watch one of my favorite photographers […]

megan and dan

Six years ago today the unthinkable happened. After “walking” (more like laying) through weeks of bed-rest and being reassured that I would be induced by 39 weeks, my due date came and went. I was devastated. She was supposed to be here.  In my arms. I was supposed to be looking into the eyes of […]

what should have been…

These two? Love personified. It’s in the details.  The cute little crinkle in her nose when she’s holding his hand.  The brilliant smile he cannot hide when his eyes lock with hers.  The way he pulls her just a little closer. They cannot hide it.  And the world would never be as beautiful if they […]

torie and colin: just us

So. I kind of disappeared for a bit. A lot happened. I turned 30. I built the most amazing train track ever with my kids. I attended Jasmine Star’s “the Fix” and admitted to an entire room of people that I didn’t have friends yet. I did a lot of journaling. I was challenged by […]

why hello again…

I like to hide. You’d think it were a favorite past-time of mine. Because, at the end of the day, I like to live in a small little world I create where everybody loves Amy.  Where there are only nice things to be said about me.  And about my work. The problem?  There’s not much […]

critque night with Zack and Meghan Arias

You deserve the world. And this weekend locked doors, broken washing machines and a head-injury prone 3 year old left me without a chance to leave you a gift to remind you of that fact. To know…. That I am grateful that I get to walk through life with you. And that I would have […]

to my valentine…

Oh 2011.  You brought some people into my life for whom I will ALWAYS be grateful.  I remember every moment I had the privilege of spending with them and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. For you precious couples that entrusted me with this moment in your lives – of planning, loving, bridesmaids’ dresses, […]

2011 favorites: engaged

A few days ago I uncovered a journal from two years ago.  I read through my prayers, my fears, the words God had spoken into me and everything else.  I came across an entry that stopped me.  And spoke truth into me again. Today, I just wanted to share that with you.  It’s my story.  […]

journal entries

The moment she rolled through the door and he saw her face, he couldn’t control his smile.  In bits and pieces, he started putting together sentences.  And he squeezed her hand, rubbing his thumb over her wedding ring. Amidst stitches, wheel-chairs, nurses, IVs and a host of other hospital room paraphernalia, love filled the room. […]

shine love…(and a chance to help kalyn and ryan)

Sweet baby A,   Oh little man…  Your mommy and daddy are amazing.  AMAZING. Those two love you with everything they’ve got.  Please don’t ever forget it. Your mommy was a rockstar.  She focused through contractions and your daddy was always there, supporting her, encouraging her and excitedly awaiting your arrival. For some reason though…you […]
