A Family Vacation to Colorado & South Dakota with Little Kids One of the things that Dustin and I swore to each other when we found out we were pregnant with our first, is that we wouldn’t stop adventuring together on a fun vacation as much as we could. Some of our absolute favorite memories […]

When We Found Out I love sharing how God works in my and Dustin’s lives. It brings me so so so much joy to put pieces together that the Lord has been working on and witness His hand working. With both Grayson and Hazel, the Lord worked the timing of those pregnancies insanely perfect to […]

A Big HUGE Thank you Every year, I write a blog post with all of my best of the best photos for three categories: 1) Engagements, 2) Weddings, & 3) Portraits. In that post, I describe my favorite moments related to each type of session that happened throughout the year. I still want and plan […]

A cookout event for AMP couples only So, I did a thing this year. Instead of spending a crazy amount of money advertising with Wedding Wire, I invested back into my couples. Every single year, I really sit down to look at a budget for Amanda May Photos. I allot so much to advertising, so […]

Children’s Hospital Family Portraits You should know Traci. She is my editor/second shooter and a part of the AMP team. Not even two weeks ago, she found out her sweet baby boy has Leukemia. He is almost 6 months old and will spend the next 25 weeks at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital receiving chemo treatments […]

Hazel’s Cactus Nursery It was a long drawn out process, but we finally have Hazel’s nursery DONE! We are absolutely in love! Before I even knew I was pregnant, right before Thanksgiving, I made a trip to Bargain Hunt and came across one of my favorite Target floor lamps. It’s the marble base with the […]
