This was a re-shoot for my friends daughter, whose pictures I totally messed up. It was super hot and we were at a park she had never been to so it was hard to keep her attention! I only took a handful of shots, but really liked these two!
If there is anyone in the Pittsburgh or really western PA that is expecting a baby and would like a photo session with me - please email me! I would like to get a portfolio up but am lacking expecting mommys! amie@amiepowell.com

Editing takes me so long to do, mostly due to my procrastination. But, anyways, here is my latest session which I did for a great friend of mine! I really enjoyed photographing him. He was so easy!

Today we celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary. I guess that is a milestone..so, how did we celebrate? For breakfast we walked over to the Quiet Storm, ate, then enjoyed our coffee while the children played. Then we went to the park which I tried to take a self portrait of my husband and I, but he filled up the whole frame..ha! We came home, cleaned up, took naps then went to dinner to the Walnut Grill which is always nice! Then we did something we have been wanting to do for awhile..we had some wedding bands placed forever on our ring fingers at then Angry Moon! My husband took a a few snaps of me getting mine done, but unfortunaley I didn’t get any of him because the kids were getting slightly grumpy. It didn’t hurt nearly as bad as I thought it would, but did get uncomfortable at the end. Anyways, it was fun and definitely an anniversary to remember!

I finished up this family session lastnight. I love the way the family pictures turned out..I posted my favorites. We had more posed ones too, but I personally prefer the more relaxed, candid shots. The photos of just the girls didn’t turn out so well. I noticed they were dark on my LCD, but I was having a horrible time keeping me shutter speed up above 100. Even at a high ISO and low Ap..so anyways, they were out of focus and so grainy. I should have taken them to better light, I don’t know what I was thinking! Lesson learned I suppose. I will be re-shooting them sometime this week now. Tomorrow I have two sessions, so excited!

Celebrated my twenty-fourth birthday today. My husband took me to a yummy Thai restaurant, Bangkok Balcony and we had some rice, veggies and tofu. It was a very nice evening. On the way home we picked up a delicious chocolate cake from Whole Foods because my daughter insisted I had a cake on my birthday!

I am finally getting around to editing this session. I just adored these two!  More later.
