Brothers Christmas story time

It's certainly the most wonderful time of the year! My two loves enjoying some Christmas story time. Love seeing these two interact and learn together. With all the snow out here in CLE, they certainly warm my heart. <3 

Christmas 2017 is going to be a blast! Can't wait to see the look on their faces Christmas morning. 

Merry Christmas from the Lott Boys!

Williams Family Blues

Those eyes though... 

The Williams Family with those beautiful blue eyes... and Dakota, the prettiest, happiest girl you will meet. She waved at me the first time I met her. Loved capturing this beautiful family during my winter mini sessions, and though it was cold, we had fun with this little beauty! 

What a gorgeous family! Excited to capture more of them soon.

McGrath Winter snow

The McGraths are a beautiful couple I had the privilege of meeting during my Winter Mini sessions this month. They were also chosen as my winners of a custom Christmas card from Lotts of Designs along with 5 photos from their session. When I chose this lovely couple, I didn't know they were going to use the photos for their card, and it worked out perfectly that I had the chance to officially design their Announcement Christmas card. 

They were hoping for snow that day... and well, since I love to make my clients happy, I gave them snow! So thankful that they love their photos and Christmas card and I'm looking forward to capturing more special moments of this growing family. <3

A very Sterby Christmas!

This beautiful family allowed me the privilege to enter their home and capture this special season in their life. The Sterby's are such a blessing and I can't wait to see this beautiful family continue to grow. You can feel the unconditional love in this home!

Malachi's First Christmas! What a doll. I can't get over how cute and sweet this little guy is. We had fun dressing him up as a sleepy reindeer. <3 

The Christmas jammies were the best, and my favorite moments were just the tender love of a mother for her son, and daddy reading "God gave us Christmas". This was quite a special session. Best way to start out the Holidays!

Generations of Love!

Josiah is a blessed little boy! Before his grandmother moved to Florida to be with the rest of the family, I had the honor to capture three generations of Love!

Great-Grandma, Grandma, and Josiah visited Maria's Field of Hope, where I was privileged to capture some special moments between these three, memories they will always cherish! 

Thank you, Debbie, for entrusting me with such a special task! I love to capture these moments, you can feel so much love from just looking at the photos. 

Yours truly,
Amanda 

Baby Kayden Geovanny

Welcome to the world Baby Geo! We are lucky to have you! Your parents are so blessed to raise you and your family is fortunate to have a third generation Santiago male.

I've been lucky enough to capture Baby Geo's birth, and now his newborn photos, which was precious. This handsome little guy slept peacefully while we wrapped him in a nice warm blanket and cute little bowties and with his stuffed animals. My favorite moments were the simple close ups of this cute little newborn and the intimate moments with his parents. What a beautiful family! Here are my favorite photos from this session.

Botanical Garden Beauties!

Back in June, my wonderful husband Kyle asked how I wanted to spend my 32nd birthday... of course I chose my favorite place in Cleveland - The Botanical Garden 

Every time I walk through the garden, I am lost in the beauty of all the gorgeous flowers, especially my absolute favorite, Orchids during Orchid Mania, (February thru March). I brought my camera and captured some breathtaking shots that I wanted to share.

Hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them! From Orchids to butterflies, this is a great place to enjoy some tropical scenery in "The Land". 

Enjoy!

Congrats Noah!

Today we celebrate Noah Boyles, an amazing young man with a bright future ahead. Not only did I get to capture this handsome guy with some great senior portraits, but I got to design his graduation announcement/invitation as well!

Noah has a long list of accomplishments, along with graduating from St. Ignatius High School, like participating in the Greater Cleveland Young Marines Program for 6 years, volunteering for veterans at the Louis Stokes Veterans Hospital, tutoring and mentoring fellow students, and now he will be pursuing a Homeland Security Degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Florida. 

Can't wait to see the places you will go Noah Boyles! So proud to call you my cousin! Best wishes and many blessings!
