{M} Graduates!

My cousin Mariah is a senior this year so she needed some senior pics. We had decided to do them today but then the morning was just dumping rain so we thought we were gonna cancel. Then the rain stopped so it was back on. Then it started raining again....well by the time she got here it had stopped raining and the sun came out a little bit. PERFECT day for pictures. It was overcast for the most part and the sun down by the water was wonderful. The only downside...FREEZING cold. Poor Mariah wasn't dressed for warmth. But I think it was worth it we got some good shots in! Let's hope the weather forecast is wrong wrong wrong and it doesn't snow this week!

{M} Family

This past weekend I got to take pictures for this cute family. We went all over downtown (which seems to be my go-to place) and Elizabeth Park. It was the PERFECT day, it was cloudy, not windy and not too cold. Plus their daughters are completely adorable and smiled the WHOLE TIME. such genuine smiles for every picture. I always take a lot of the same pose because people love to blink but there was probably only 2-3 photos where someone was blinking so I had a lot to choose from!

Thank you guys! I'm working on getting your CD done tonight!

If you would like to book a session it's the perfect time of year and the trees are amazing right now. Also if you chose one of my packages take $10 off your total price for the month of October! Just email me: amandapeckphotography at gmail dot com (spamming purposes it's typed like that).

Now here are a few photos from the very quick photo shoot I did last night with some friends. Their family has this amazing barn that is my new favorite place to take pictures!

Over my Head contest

I Heart Faces is having another contest. i'm not sure if this really qualifies as "over my head" but i'm ok with that. i think it fits just right. i actually have some plans for photos this weekend that might better fit the theme but by then it will be too late :(.
