Jackson Hole and Grand Tetons Back in September, I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding at the base of the Grand Tetons just outside of Jackson Hole, WY. You can see that wedding here! We arrived a little early and stayed a little later and made a mini vacation out of it. So instead […]

It’s taken me a long time to write this. I would type a sentence, erase it, type another, erase it. It seemed nothing I wrote could do justice to how amazing of a person my dad was and how gaping of a hole he left in my heart. I’ve had so many people tell me Amanda, you’re handling […]

This past week has been full of adventure. Traveling from Knoxville to Anna Maria Island with a 3 month old is an adventure all by itself. But then add in a week in a new house, sleeping in 3 different beds, having a whole bunch of new people and voices around all the time, feeling […]
