I loved how they used black and white throughout their details, combined with warm fall colors. Katy looked beautiful! It was quite obvious they were having the time of their lives all night. They made their grand exit by walking through a crowd of sparklers and boarding a riverboat to ride off into the night for more celebration.

This little boy was born into the coolest family. Past photo sessions have included airplanes and trains. For this shoot, mom Kristin decided she wanted to include Rosy, the beloved Airstream trailer. Love this!!

I remember when she was this adorable little girl with REALLY long hair. Our dad's met in college and have remained very close friends since. I am very excited and honored to be photographing their wedding in October! I was sad that I was unable to be there for their engagement session, but I had a secret weapon... Chayil. Chayil is the second shooter for most of my Florida weddings and a wonderful friend too :) So I had Chayil meet up with Allison and Cameron for a fun engagement session with some 50's flare. She then sent them my way so I could add my flavor to the images. You are looking at a shoot with team effort.

The goal was to capture just a few shots of just London and one of the girls together, and do it quickly. Easy peasey, right? Or not. London was REALLY not in the mood to have her photo taken. So I was thrown a curveball and did my best. Here are a few faves that proved even when it might seem like it didn't go well, you never know what you are going to get! <br /><br />Little London (looking like she actually loves the camera)...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0825200901.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0825200902.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0825200903.jpg" /><br /><br />Kimbree, their mom, owns <a href="http://www.theinvitationchicks.com">Invitation Chicks</a> in San Antonio.

Not only are they wonderfully fun and kind people, Neda also has a flare for the fabulous details! Her hairpiece was my favorite! And the color of the girls dresses made my day. It was one of those weddings where you show up and you are soo excited about the possibilities. They had a traditional Persian ceremony. They wanted to see eachother before hand and get a lot of the pictures out of the way. (my favorite way to do it!) Then following the ceremony, the bridal party and I wandered down onto Santana Row for some more fun photo ops. I had such a hard time narrowing down my faves. Thank you, Neda and Matt, for everything!

While I was there, she gave her sister the thoughtful gift of a family photo session. I can see why she loves her sister so much. Ozzie greeted me and my friend Gwen at the door with a big welcoming smile. She and her husband Ali have two beautiful girls, Caroline and Emme. Caroline shared her kitchen skills and dolls with us. Thank you Caroline! It was a great start to an amazing wedding weekend!

Not being born and raised in Texas, I am still adjusting to the fact that being an alumni is not just about a college experience, but a way of life. We are talking HARD CORE. So when they were booking, one of Stephanie's first requests was to do the engagement session in College Station on the campus of Texas A&M. And so we went. They shared all of the meaningful places on campus and lots of history of the school with me. I felt like I had the privilege of a guided tour into one of Texas' best. (Go Longhorn's. I'm not picking sides, I promise). We had a ton of fun and we ended the day with their precious three-legged wonder dog. Thanks for a great day!<br /><br />Here are some of my favorites...<br /><br />The unsuspecting future freshman.<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200904.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200903.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200906.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200902.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200908.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200907.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200905.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200909.jpg" /> <br /><br />The clock tower wasn't that impressive...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200910.jpg" /> <br /><br />Ok, so maybe it was...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200911.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200901.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200913.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200912.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200923.jpg" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200921.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200914.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200917.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200915.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200922.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200916.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200918.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0812200919.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-353631860031158515?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-47633330406475037652009-08-07T17:18:00.003-05:002009-08-07T17:29:39.488-05:00Katy and Taylor wanted to head out to Landa Park for their engagement session.

The moment I walked into the room to meet Lisa for the first time, I knew we would be friends. She is so friendly, so happy, so sweet. I had a great time with these two downtown. I am really looking forward to their wedding next March. Stephen is a huge Beatles fan and they are incorporating that into their big day. How fun! I was so glad he brought his guitar to the photo shoot. I always love it when a couple brings those things that make them who they are along with them. AND - he's good! (you never know, just because someone likes to play, doesn't mean they'll be good...)<br /><br />I had so much fun with these two!

This is one of many to come...<br /><br />Katie and Tdub wanted to do a Just Married Session following their wedding. So the week after they were married, we hit the streets of San Antonio.

While it has been some of the most hectic and chaotic several weeks of my life, I wouldn't trade them. <br /><br />The week in Honduras definitely had the most impact. I continue to reflect on my time there and wonder how it will change who I am and the plans the Lord has for me. I'm excited to see what will come for all of us who went. And what an amazing group of individuals - <a href="http://www.laurenclarkphotography.com">Lauren and Josh Clark</a>, Lauren and Peter Zaffos, <a href="http://www.sharihensonphoto.com">Shari Henson</a>, <a href="http://www.whimsyphotography.com">Memoree and Cody Barrett</a>, Lesa our leader, and the hilarious-keeps-you-hoppin' <a href="http://www.ginnycorbettphotography.com">Ginny Corbett</a> also fondly known as "Ginny-cake". We all laughed 'til our stomachs ached, daily. I felt like they were all family by the end of the week and it was sad going our separate ways. To have seen and experienced so much together. <br /><br />People keep asking about the trip. Honduras is such a beautiful land filled with a high rate of poverty. The poor are pretty much ignored by the wealthy, as if they don't exist. You can see that walking through the village. Adults won't make eye contact with you because they assume you will ignore them. (White = wealthy in their minds). One morning, while walking through the village, I started saying "Ola" to every adult I saw, then making eye contact and smiling. The way they looked at me with surprise and then to see their face warm, was heartwrenching. In a society where we are raised to think so much revolves around us and our "happiness", where people get upset when they aren't acknowledged, as if entitled, I realized I can't even imagine feeling like I didn't exist. But the biggest thing was seeing the joy and love in the faces of the children. Children who have nothing, absolutely nothing, and don't even know if they will have food tomorrow. To think of the children here in America, who have their parents convinced that buying them a certain toy, or watching that movie, will make them happy. Right. Not true happiness. Don't fool yourself. The happiness and joy I saw on that mountain was the kind that more of us need, the kind you only get from love. The love of others, the love of Jesus. What a week!! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.hope4honduras.org">Hope for Honduras</a> is an amazing organization, run by Ron and Shelley Jones, true servants. They are truly changing lives up on that mountain.

This wedding was a lot of fun for me because the bride and I go way back. We grew up in the same town attending school together throughout the years. We have not kept in touch since high school (I won't mention how long ago that was), but when she contacted me last year to photograph her wedding, I was super excited! Jill was one of those rare girls in high school that everyone liked and was genuinely nice. It was so fun seeing her, after all these years, dressed up as the radiant bride that she was! There were several other people from our school past there as well. I had a great time reconnecting with each of them. And they call this a job.<br /><br />Congratulations Jill and Nick!!

After spending a week in Michigan with family and photographing Jill & Nick's wedding, I turned around and left for Honduras. I spent a week with several other talented photographers capturing images hoping to tell the story of <a href="http://www.hopeforhonduras.org">Hope for Honduras </a>and all the wonderful things this group does for the local villagers. I have so much to share and many more images to blog from all of my travels. I will be posting more later, but wanted to post one image from Honduras. Be patient with me for a few more weeks of craziness and then stay tuned... so much to come! <br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/blog070209%20copy.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-4329839237256802038?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-38157298496149838912009-06-19T15:17:00.003-05:002009-06-19T15:24:16.588-05:00Soon I will be traveling with a group to Honduras. We will be doing all kinds of stuff, but the basis of the mission is to capture what Hope for Honduras does through photography. <a href="http://www.hopeforhonduras.org">Hope for Honduras</a> does all kinds of wonderful things. Please check out their website. I am asking for prayers as I prepare for this trip. Please pray for all of the missionaries already working there, the people they are working with and for, and for the group I will be traveling with. I am very excited about this opportunity and know that it will be a life changing experience. <br /><br />Thank you for your prayers and support!<br /><br />blessings,<br />amy<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-3815729849614983891?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-55191264382184129332009-06-14T12:55:00.005-05:002009-06-14T19:41:42.713-05:00Vanessa and Reid were married at The One and Only Palmilla, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. What a resort! I was at the welcome party and the man I was talking with asked what I thought. "Absolutely beautiful!" I responded. "No, not beautiful, SPECTACULAR!" he corrected. I would have to agree. Spectacular. Vanessa rode up to the chapel in a horse and carriage with her father and flower girls. The chapel is right on the resort grounds. Following the ceremony, Vanessa and Reid rode off in that same horse and carriage. The reception was in the ballroom. Vanessa wanted everything to be white. The walls were draped in white fabric, with beautiful lighting accents. All white flowers and white linens. The room was stunning. Not to mention that Vanessa was an absolutely breathtaking bride. What a wedding! <br /><br />Congratulations Vanessa and Reid! Thank you for everything :)<br /><br />Some of my many favorites... <br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200901.jpg" /> <br />If you are wondering what that frog is, it's the groom's cake.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200902.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200903.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200904.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200905.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200906.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200907.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200908.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200909.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200910.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200911.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200912.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200913.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200914.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200915.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200916.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200917.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200919.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200920.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200921.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200922.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200923.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200924.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200925.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200926.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200927.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200928.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200930.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200931.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200932.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200933.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200934.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200936.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200937.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200938.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200939.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200940.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200941.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200943.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200944.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200945.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200946.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0614200947.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-5519126438218412933?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-35524344118316448292009-06-14T12:49:00.003-05:002009-06-14T16:49:10.266-05:00On Thursday evening, the family threw a welcome party for all of the guests that had traveled to be there for the wedding.

In just a few hours we head to the airport to go to CABO!! I will be photographing a wedding on Saturday at The One and Only Palmilla and am very excited! The rest of the time will be dedicated to some seriously needed r&r with my hubby. <br /><br />Because I will be out of the country, if you need anything, please email me. I will be back Monday, June 8th and will catch up on my emails then. If it is urgent, I will check my email a few times while I'm gone.

I received my early copies about a week ago and with everything going on, I forgot to share it with you. So here are a few pics of the featured wedding. It is of Varuni and Minesh's wedding, the same wedding that was featured on WE TV's Platinum Weddings. It made a 4 page spread in The Knot Texas edition. It is always exciting to see your own work in print! Yea!!!<br /><br />Another fantastic couple of mine has also been featured on The Knot.com as an online Real Wedding. They are featured as a Chicago Real Wedding. Here is the link if you want to take a look - <br /><br /><a href="http://weddings.theknot.com/Real-Weddings/42888/view.aspx?type=1&id=42888">Alison & Kameron in Glencoe, IL</a><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0602200901.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0602200902.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0602200903.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0602200904.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0602200905.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0602200906.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0602200907.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-3085774469811996994?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-53260042417264063402009-06-01T18:06:00.003-05:002009-06-01T18:31:06.843-05:00Heather's party was held at their home with a traditional receiving line. It was fun seeing all of the girls lined up in their beautiful gowns. Once they welcomed the guests, it was on to the next dress. Which in Heather's case was the royal blue head-turner! She looked radiant. There was a tent out back with a dance floor which is where the fun was. There were several food stations, including a french fry and mini burger bar. Yum. To top it all off, this fantastic guy in costume was walking around on stilts. He looked like he just stepped out of Cirque du Soleil. Loved him! What an amazing night.

When they contacted me about taking pictures of their new babe Caleb, OF COURSE! I was thrilled! You may remember this couple as the <a href="http://amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com/2008/08/kristin-zac-e-session-in-san-marcos-tx.html">airplane engagement session</a>. Um, yes, we did go back to the hanger with Caleb in tow. And let me tell you, my son, Jay and Caleb were instantly bonded the day Caleb was born. He weighed in at 9 lbs!

I have been very fortunate and had amazingly wonderful couples. This was exactly the case when I arrived at the H.E. Butt Foundation Camp for Katie and T.W.'s (or TDub's) wedding. I couldn't have asked for a nicer, more fun, more genuine couple. Their day was full of meaningful moments, emotion, and lots of laughter. LOVE IT!! Just to share a few... Katie had several women that were monumental in her life. Each of these women handed her part of her bouquet before her mom tied it all together, followed by the walk down the aisle. They had a goosebump giving praise and worship portion at the end of their ceremony. You couldn't help but feel His presence. They started out with a traditional first dance, then broke into a choreographed dance that was highly entertaining. And so much more. Not to mention the location was absolutely stunning in the middle of hill country. The details given so much attention, with a good old fashion photo booth and all. The speeches and toast, tear-jerking and side-splitting all at the same time. Then TDub's sisters put on a "welcome rap" for Katie. Priceless. Truly a gift to be a part of! <br /><br />Congratulations you two!! And thank you for everything.<br /><br />Some of my favorites...

Then along came Chad and Lisa, moving in two doors down. We couldn't have asked for better nieghbors! I remember quite vividly the day Lisa and Kayle came knocking on my door with the ultrasound picture, Lisa's face in shock. "Look" she says as she holds it out for me to see... "There's two!!" Out come the words in disbelief as I struggle to understand what I'm looking at. They were expecting twins!! And not just twins, but IDENTICAL boys. They are here!! And they are adorable, with their little old man resemblance. Wyatt is the one with the pen mark on his big toe. Cole is the ink-free one. So far, this is the only way to tell them apart. Kayle is such a good big sister. Oh so fun!!<br /><br />Congratulations!! We are so glad the boys are here safe and healthy. Thank you for letting me capture these precious babes!<br /><br />Some of my favorites...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200907.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200913.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200930.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200906.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200905.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200922.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200901.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200903.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200921.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200931.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200924.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200916.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200917.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200920.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200910.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200904.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200926.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200927.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200919.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200911.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200918.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200909.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200923.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200912.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200908.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0516200914.jpg" /><br /><br />*The fabulous tie onsies were made by my talented friend, Charisse of <a href="http://www.mysassypants.com">My Sassy Pants</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-208962980380001905?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-50598727462195493212009-05-10T10:16:00.002-05:002009-05-10T10:41:27.936-05:00Dear Mom,<br /><br />Thank you for being my friend, confidant, listener, advisor, wisdom, source of laughter, well-wisher, for keeping me in line, and for being the best Mom ever.

This amazing party was coordinated by the oh-so-talented Billinda Wilkinson of <a href="http://www.wilkinsonrhodes.com">Wilkinson Rhodes</a>. The details were impeccable. Some of the top Vegas Showgirls were flown in to perform for this event. And then there was the cake with the firework on top. We weren't sure what would happen when it was lit, and told to stand back. When it blew, it blew candy and goodies in the air and made for a good laugh. Quite the event!!<br /><br />Here are some of my favorite images from the night... <br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0505200901.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0505200912.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0505200911.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0505200907.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0505200909.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0505200910.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0505200908.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0505200905.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0505200904.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0505200903.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0505200906.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0505200902.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-6980089109837248022?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-86139980456661820122009-05-01T21:05:00.005-05:002009-05-01T21:18:15.342-05:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MWKWRHvPVYE/Sfusl-o6tuI/AAAAAAAACZ0/LpcszmG4SZc/s1600-h/G_logo.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 364px; height: 61px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MWKWRHvPVYE/Sfusl-o6tuI/AAAAAAAACZ0/LpcszmG4SZc/s400/G_logo.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331044352392869602" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.sanantonioweddings.com">San Antonio Weddings</a> is a local bridal magazine and online resource for everything wedding.

We've stayed in touch with this fabulous couple and have gotten to know Rory as he is growing. He is not much older than Jay. They are from England and are moving back to Europe, Germany to be exact, in a few short weeks. We will miss them! Before they leave, they asked me to take some pictures of their family. With pleasure!<br /><br />Here are some of my favorites...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200902.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200903.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200904.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200905.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200906.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200907.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200908.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200909.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200911.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200912.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200910.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200913.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200914.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200916.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200915.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200917.jpg" /><br /><br />A boy and his best friend...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200918.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200919.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200920.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200921.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200922.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200923.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200924.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200925.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200926.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200901.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200930.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200931.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200927.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200928.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200929.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200933.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/0421200932.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-2988504107443240065?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-1849940924371047842009-03-31T14:55:00.003-05:002009-03-31T15:22:23.664-05:00Meet Rachel and Erik.

Kimbree is the owner of <a href="http://www.theinvitationchicks.com/">The Invitation Chicks</a>, an invitation store here in San Antonio. Check out thier website by <a href="http://www.theinvitationchicks.com/">clicking here</a>. I just love Kimbree's sense of style. She shows up with her two adorable girls and has them decked out in beautiful white dresses... then come the fabulous shoes. Pink chuckies with bling. Love it! <br /><br />I had a great time with Kimbree and her family!

She called me up shortly before Dominik was born and said she wanted me to come out and take pictures of the new arrival. Are you kidding me?! And get to see her and meet this new little guy?! Don't have to ask me twice :) Dominik was born healthy and a tiny little peanut. He was breech the entire pregnancy and because he found such a comfy position to settle in, he had to have a brace on for the first 5 weeks of his life outside of the womb. Not to worry. This tough little guy will grow up to ride his bike and chase his sister just the same. Kira, the big sister, is looking so grown up! Thank you for having me as your guest. I loved every second of it! Now onto the good stuff. <br /><br />Introducing new baby Dominik and big sister Kira...<br /><br />*EDIT(added this next image 03.05.09 - how could I miss this one?!)<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03050901.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040908.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040905.jpg" /><br /><br />Big sister Kira...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040907.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040906.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040902.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040909.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040925.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040918.jpg" /><br /><br />The collection of shoes baby girls dream of...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040924.jpg" /><br /><br />The brace doesn't stop Superman!<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040919.jpg" /><br /><br />Like father, like son...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040912.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040913.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040914.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040911.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040910.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040903.jpg" /><br /><br />This one makes me smile, Kira kissing her baby... <br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040904.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040917.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040916.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040923.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040921.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040920.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040922.jpg" /><br /><br />Me and my friend Kymm!<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03040915.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-4259571362969150199?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-34482849531741350402009-02-24T07:16:00.003-06:002009-02-24T07:36:34.213-06:00Michelle and Jay were married in downtown San Antonio's La Villita Chapel. They then took a horse carriage ride to The Vault for their very intimate reception. Jay is in the Navy and wore his Navy best. Michelle's dad was also decked out in his Naval attire. It was a very nice, intimate evening with a fun couple.

Gwen and I roomed together in, and I quote Gwen on this, "a 52 square foot apartment downtown Chicago during our Senior year of college. Well, maybe it was like 152 square feet. But we also shared that elaborate space with roaches the size of a small duck and another roommate. It was the best and most expensive semester of our college lives!". I quote her because I couldn't have said it better. Jay and I flew out to visit and it was the first time we met eachothers boys. Did she ever keep us hoppin! In the few short days (too short) that I was there we managed to up to the mountains twice, to Evergreen and to Red Rock, take in the Rodeo and Stock show, see a local play "Girls Only" (her hubby Tim, aka "Super Dad" offered to watch the boys so we could have a night out), swimming with the boys, hiking, and on... We had SO much fun!! <br /><br />Here are the pics to prove it...<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02030930.JPG" /> <br /><br />The boys...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02030903.jpg" /> <br /><br />Something you don't see everyday - The Dairy Princesses (with tiaras and all) are on the left waiting for their cows to come in... literally.<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02030904.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02030901.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02030902.jpg" /> <br /><br />Funny Alpaca's<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02030905.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02030915.jpg" /> <br /><br />Breathtaking Evergreen...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02030914.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02030906.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02030907.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02030918.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02030910.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02030908.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02030909.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02030912.jpg" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02030911.jpg" /> <br /><br />There was an older gentleman watching me take this shot who pretty much thought I was nuts.

Having that desire so heavy on my heart has spurred an idea. I am still working out all of the details, but coming soon, I will be offering mini-sessions for those women who are faced with the news that their lives will forever be changed by breast cancer. It is a long journey so many women face and with the grace of our God and the help of modern medicine, most women survive this battle. However, when you hear the news that you or someone you love dearly has been diagnosed, it is heart-wrenching none the less. If you are reading this and are a woman who has recently been diagnosed or have a family member who is going through this, my heart and prayers go out to you. If you or someone you know might be interested in a free mini-session, please contact me for more information. I am currently only offering this locally in Texas. I only have so many openings for these sessions, so please write me at amy@amydeyoung.com and tell me your story. I am calling these the Survivor Sessions, because I believe in the power of the spoken word and I know that these women are survivors!<br /><br />Having shared all of that, I wondered how I would start this venture. Well God obviously put this on my heart for a reason, because our neighbor, Carmella, emailed me about doing pictures before she went in for her double masectomy. She had her surgery last week and all went GREAT!! The doctor said that she is healed! Here are some pictures from her Survivor Session that we did before the surgery...<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02140902.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02140904.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02140909.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02140903.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02140905.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02140912.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02140908.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02140907.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02140906.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02140911.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-932516754657838472?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-34195216023859882582009-02-04T16:17:00.003-06:002009-02-04T16:30:55.916-06:00I know this is getting posted WAY late. I traveled to Denver to visit my fantastic friend Gwen and her family in January (this will get its very own blog post coming soon). While I was there, I had the honor of capturing their family photos. Upon returning from Denver, my computer crashed on me and set me back quite a bit. Everything I was in the middle of working on was on that computer... FORTUNATELY they were able to recover the data. However, I still do not have my computer back. VERY frustrating... and explains the blog tardiness. <br /><br />Now onto more important things - Gwen, Tim, and Rylan! These are some of my favorite people in the whole wide world! Gwen is my very dear friend whom I met and lived with for a semester in Chicago. This was the first time I had the pleasure of meeting her ADORABLE son Rylan. After almost 8 years of marriage, Gwen and Tim are still crazy about each other. I love that about them! Well, enough talk. Let's get to the good stuff!<br /><br />Some of my favorite's from the day... <br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020902.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020901.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020909.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020905.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020903.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020904.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020908.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020907.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020912.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020913.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020911.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020910.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020925.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020923.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020906.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020919.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020920.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020922.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020921.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020917.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020918.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020916.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020915.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020926.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/02020924.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-3419521602385988258?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-80861444983569264462009-01-23T19:12:00.006-06:002009-01-24T10:11:03.153-06:00On Wednesday, January 24th, 1979, a little girl was born... ME!!! <br /><br />My mom used to tell me the following story every year and today was no different as she called to say, "Exactly 30 years ago at this time, I was getting ready to leave for the hospital. Last night your dad and I finished wallpapering your room around midnight. Then I had popcorn. I woke up to the start of labor. There was a lot of snow on the ground and I told your father I thought he should stay home from school. He snowblowed the driveway and we headed to the hospital around 10am. You were born at 2:18pm"... she always has much more to say than that, but I'll spare you - lol. <br /><strong><br />HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!</strong><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/01240901b.jpg" /><br /><br />My mom with me in the hospital<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/01240903.jpg" /><br /><br />My first birthday cake... <br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/01240902.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-8086144498356926446?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-45928140855574131372009-01-12T11:02:00.003-06:002009-01-12T11:25:28.756-06:00I had the privilege of covering Abby's Debutante party to bring in the New Year. She had three dresses she wore throughout the evening. First was the gown her mother wore for her own party. We definitely took pictures in this fabulous number. Next, Abby put on the gown to greet her guests in... stunning. Then there was the show stopping black number she came out in later in the night. Loved them all!! Abby's AMAZING debutante party was at the <a href="http://www.artmuseumofsouthtexas.org/">Art Museum of South Texas</a> in Corpus Christi, TX. The location was gorgeous, the lighting was amazing, the delicious food, the music - WOW!! There was a very talented harpist that played during the cocktail hour. Then the band <a href="http://www.soundconnectionband.com/">Sound Connection</a>, from Washington DC took the party over. What a night! Congratulations Abby!! I hope you had a great time at your party. I know I did.

LOVE being a mom! celebrated my hubbie's 30th. went back to work in June, traveling with a 6 week old baby boy (he did soo good!). had a crazy busy but very rewarding wedding season this fall. am so blessed to work with such wonderful couples and families! traveled to Chicago for the memorable and rainy Ali & Kam's wedding. traveled to Michigan several times for weddings and family visits. traveled to Florida, West Palm Beach as a family for vacation and to cover the Jennifer & Urmit's wedding in August (Jay's first visit to the ocean). covered Varuni & Minesh's extravagant wedding in San Antonio which will be featured on "Platinum Weddings". was saddened with the news that Paul's sister would begin her battle with Breast Cancer at age 29. traveled to Naples and Miami, FL for Kristen & Jeff's and Mari & Peter's weddings and took in some much needed Mommy time. slowly but surely am learning to juggle mommyhood, being a business owner and being a wife. had lots of family and friends come visit us in Texas. traveled home to Michigan for Christmas with my new family of three (and our two pups). am so blessed.<br /><br /><br />I am thankful for...<br />The love, mercy, grace, and healing of Jesus Christ.

She just happened to get her hands on the new 5D camera that also has HD video capabilities and was in the mood to experiment. Yea!!! (This is definitely my next camera!). We are so so happy with what Sarah captured. She even took video footage of me singing a song I wrote for Jay (a professional singer I am not). LOVE the video! We will cherish it forever!! <br /><br />I've put some of my favorites below.

They were the couple married in Corpus Christi, TX on October 25th. A few weeks ago, we met back up and wandered around Austin for some great shots of them all dolled up in their wedding attire. I had a great time! It was also a fantastic way to get lots of good shots in their wedding gear. Besides, I don't know a bride who wouldn't want to wear their wedding dress more than once, given the opportunity!<br /><br />Some of my faves...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020806.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020805.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020807.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020804.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020802.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020803.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020818.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020809.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020810.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020812.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020808.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020801.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020813.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020814.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020815.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020817.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020816.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020811.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/12020821.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-7990963104042421931?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-16057949975485828102008-11-27T11:07:00.003-06:002008-11-27T11:17:27.444-06:00When Paul went to buy the turkey, I said "Ask the meat guy what kind is best" and I was met with the reply "Honey, you always get a Butterball!" So that is exactly what we got - a 22lb Butterball for 3 1/2 people... leftovers!<br /><br />On a year when we truly have so much to be thankful for, Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours.

This wedding was the day after the Fort Myers wedding. Saturday I shot Kristen & Jeff's wedding, went back to my hotel room, downloaded all my cards, climbed in bed, only to wake up Sunday morning, drive to Miami, and shoot Mari & Pete's beautiful Miami wedding. The ceremony was on the beach at sunset followed by the reception outdoors at The National on South Beach. The lighting for the outdoor reception made for some GREAT photos! Mari had some great tricks up her sleeve, from the umbrellas to wanting a shot of them calling it a night. I was also able to capture a moment for Mari & Pete that I have never been able to capture before... The next day. I was relaxing in a lounge chair on the beach the following morning before my flight took off and guess who walked up to occupy the two chairs in front of me... While I did not have my camera gear, I did have my handy-dandy new iPhone. Mari even joked about me joining them on their honeymoon in Hawaii to capture some pictures there. I want everyone to know that I am fully available to travel on exotic honeymoons to capture snapshots for you :) Congratulations Mari & Pete!!<br /><br />Some of my favorites...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230801.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230814.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230831.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230826.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230802.jpg" /><br /><br />I seriously think that Kenny Chesney witnessed Mari & Pete's first meeting...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230819.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230821.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230820.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230813.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230812.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230823.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230811.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230817.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230825.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230822.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230818.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230824.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230816.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230815.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230809.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230808.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230810.jpg" /><br /><br />The Mother's...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230807.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230829.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230806.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230830.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230828.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230804.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230803.jpg" /><br /><br />The first morning as Mr. & Mrs.<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/11230832.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-4195109940168925477?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-27259867588736408532008-11-23T01:11:00.004-06:002009-06-14T19:42:17.929-05:00Kristen and Jeff were married in Estero, FL. Estero is near Fort Myers, FL. Darn. I had to pack my bags and head for the sunny state. Kristen and Jeff live in New York City and traveled down to Florida, along with thier closest friends and family, to be married near their parents FL property. What a great idea! They wrote their own vows, which I am always a sap for. Jeff sang a song for Kristen at the reception. Then, once the outdoor dancing came to an end, the guests headed inside for some karaoke. This group had a blast!

She makes the most adorable things for girls, boys, and does not forget us moms. She came to me and wanted to get some pictures to show off her latest collection. Well, it just so happens that Charisse "was" a model, I say "is", she says "in my earlier years". Whatever. You tell me if you think she's still got it... I had so much fun!<br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10310802.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10310803.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10310804.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10310805.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10310806.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10310807.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10310809.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10310801.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10310808.JPG" /><br /><br />I couldn't decide which I like better, so I included them both!<br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10310810.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10310811.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10310814.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10310815.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10310812.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10310813.JPG" /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mysassypants.com">Now click here to check out My Sassy Pants!</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-2465042605705248330?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-1405133618892869222008-10-29T19:23:00.003-05:002008-10-29T19:33:53.155-05:00Happy Halloween and Happy Fall!! We headed up to the Love Creek Orchards with our friends Eric, Dana and Lawson. Apparently this is the place to be! They had so many activities for kids with an endless supply of pumpkin piles for the mommy's and daddy's to plop their children in and start clicking away for their cookie cutter Kodak moment... guilty. Here are some pics from the day!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/10290813.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/10290807.jpg" /><br /><br />Pumpkin Pile.

They met one day when Zac was driving the park train. It only seemed appropriate that they made a grand exit by hopping aboard the train. Their reception followed at The Landmark. I love Krisitin's sassy style! It came through in all of the details of the day... especially her veil. Love it! Congratulations Kristin and Zac!

Varuni and Minesh had an absolutely GORGEOUS wedding day! It was a jam packed day full of color, details, loved ones and emotion. The extravagance of the day attracted the crew from "Platinum Weddings" on WE TV. It was quite a day with camera crews, 1000 guests, stunning sari's, the breathtaking bride, and so much more! <br /><br />The day started at the brand new Grand Hyatt downtown San Antonio with the Barat. Minesh entered on horseback and Varuni's family welcomed Minesh's family with music and dancing. Then everyone proceeded upstairs to the Lone Star Ballroom for the ceremony. Following the ceremony, Minesh and Varuni changed outfits and headed to their reception ready to have fun. Congratulations you two! What an amazing day to be a part of.. thank you.<br /><br />411..<br />Location: <a href="http://grandsanantonio.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp?src=yahoo_propertyspecific_hhc_2008&s_kwcid=TC-5042-10479014013-S-947927513">Grand Hyatt - San Antonio, TX</a><br />Wedding Designer and Coordinator: <a href="http://bisli.com/">Bisli & Pablo Vasquez</a><br />Videographer - <a href="http://teamexclusive.blogspot.com/">John of Team Exclusive</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.amydeyoung.com/varuniandminesh100408">CLICK HERE FOR THE SLIDESHOW!</a><br /><br />The Details...<br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/details%20final.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210812.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210810.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210813.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210811.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210814.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210815.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210817.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210816.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210818.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210802.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210820.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210821.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210805.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210823.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210825.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210826.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210827.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210807.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210828.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210829.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210830.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210831.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210832.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210806.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210808.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210833.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210809.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210834.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210838.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210836.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210837.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10210835.JPG" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-4702843207199770929?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-13507641191511610182008-10-17T12:45:00.003-05:002008-10-22T18:29:52.845-05:00I want to let everyone know that I now have official office hours.

He is now eating solids and LOVES his mealtime. He is currently exploring the vegetable green beans. A lot of babies don't start eating solids until 6 months. However, our little man has shown that he is not only REALLY excited about real food, but also that he wants to hold his own spoon and feed himself... at only 5 months old! He loves his tub time and is pretty much sitting on his own. His favorite past time is holding onto his feet and nibbling his toes. I bought him a pair of shoes today. Guess what size fit... 18 MONTHS!! Talk about big dutch feet!

It is a treasure of a place out in the middle of nowhere that has the feel of a European Chateau. Lacey and Jon have fond memories of traveling in Europe together, so this was the perfect location for their wedding. It was a very intimate day with beautiful weather and close family and friends. The details were exquisite and they even had some fun with croquet on the property lawn. Made for some great pictures!

When Lauren contacted me about doing their engagement images on one of my Michigan trips, I was thrilled! You see, Lauren is my cousin and we don't get to see each other as often as I'd like. I was so so excited to meet up with Steve and Lauren and wander around Grand Haven in search for the perfect spots. The first picture is right outside The Grill Room, which is where they went the night they were engaged.

This was the day that Hurricane Ike was passing through Texas and my hubby was in San Antonio protecting our home... however, San Antonio saw no rain. Meanwhile, up in Chicago, IL, the city was experiencing one of the wettest days in 150 years! Ali & Kam's wedding was scheduled to take place at the Chicago Botanic Gardens... outside. Well, as plans were changed and things got more wet, I ventured out to pick up some umbrellas. The pictures must go on! The day was amazing! The couple absolutely wonderful, the bride - gorgeous!, the details exquisite, the people happy and fun, the wedding simply beautiful. <br /><br />Congratulations Ali & Kam! Thank you for including me in your day. I wish you two the very best!!<br /><br />Some of my faves (it was really hard narrowing it down)...<br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10070808.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10070807.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10070812.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10070806.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10070832.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10070831.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10070805.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10070803.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10070804.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10070830.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10070829.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10070802.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10070801.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10070811.jpg" /><br /><br />Their Persian Ceremony...<br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10070833.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/10070810.jpg" /><br /><br />The first taste of marriage is to be sweet.

Last week I was battling a cold and just when I started feeling better, little man announced his. As I now realize "Supermom" is not one of my titles and that I can't do it all...<br />I want to apologize and say that I am working on catching up on things you all are waiting so patiently for (ex: blogging from MI trip). I will be taking the time Jay needs off to tend to him and starting once he is healthy, I will have office hours (with the help of a nanny - Yea!) and will be able to catch up on all of the things that have fallen behind in my attempt to "do it all", while traveling, and being a full-time mom. The truth is my superhero outfit is malfunctioning. Does anyone know of a good seamstress?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-6999336205821766759?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-17051790885934033742008-09-09T17:48:00.004-05:002008-09-09T22:36:21.328-05:00We are now back from the sunny and hurricane prone Florida.

He is my (step)brother and I can't believe he is already a senior. I remember when he was in diapers like it was yesterday. I'm sure he'll be thrilled to read that - lol.

This time, my friend Cate was married to the handsome, charming, and quite hilarious Tim. Cate and I met during my semester in Chicago. We went to Hope College together and as it turned out, we walked together during graduation (both L's in the alphabet). She was my hero when I had to spend 8 miserable hours in the ER downtown Chicago on the day of the Chicago Marathon. She stayed with me the whole time. What a friend!! <br /><br />Cate was stunning in her simple gown and her hair swept to the side. She livened her ensemble up at the reception by forgoing the pearl earrings and necklace for a chunky green necklace with matching earrings and pinning her hair up for a different look. I've always been envious of her taste and this certainly sealed the deal... I want her taste! <br /><br />Tim sang Michael Buble' - Save The Last Dance For Me to Cate following their first dance. He claimed to only enjoy singing for fun and not be that great... whatever. He brought the house down! Combined with his dance moves, he had everyone captive. It is certainly moments like those that make my job the best job in the world! That is why it's not really a job ;)<br /><br />Congratulations you two! <br /><br />Here are some of my faves...<br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210801.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210803.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210806.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210802.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210804.JPG" /><br /><br />Cate's Dad congratulating Tim...<br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210805.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210807.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210808.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210809.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210810.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210811.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210812.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210826.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210825.JPG" /><br /><br />My favorite image that my assistant Kara captured...<br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210834.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210827.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210828.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210814.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210815.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210829.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210816.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210819.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210818.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210817.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210830.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210820.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210821.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210823.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210822.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210832.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210824.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210831.JPG" /><br /><br />Cate and I...<br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08210833.JPG" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-2199178542285979110?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-78978720301632970682008-08-18T12:13:00.004-05:002008-08-18T13:15:39.046-05:00Where do I begin? This was such a special wedding for me to photograph. Paul and I got to be guests as well as photographers. I'll try to explain in as few words as possible... yea right. <br /><br />First, many many years ago, I met Ethan's mom, Karen. She has played a very important role in my life throughout. She was my audiologist. She is the person that introduced the symphony of life to me. If you don't know, I wear hearing aids. Most people have no clue because they are that small and my speech is normal. I've had many pairs over the years and with each new pair, new technology and new sounds that I've never picked up on before. All of this, thanks to Karen. Did God ever place her in my life! <br /><br />Then, Ethan and I went to school together starting in kindergarten until he transferred in High School. You see, he was one of the two boys all of the girls had crushes on (yes, including me.) Along comes Paul. We meet, fall in love, get married. Come to find out, Paul and Ethan have been really good friends since High School. Also, Ethan's dad, Dave, coached soccer - both my family and Paul's. I think that sums it up... nice nutshell, huh.<br /><br />The wedding was the first time I met Elizabeth, and I couldn't be happier for the two of them! I already knew that Ethan was one of those rare finds, really good heart, loving, gentle, funny, love for God..(a lot like my Paul). So when I met Elizabeth and could tell right away that she was all of those things too... I'm so happy for you both! Congratulations and may God bless your marriage. <br /><br />Here are some of my faves... <br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180801.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180803.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180802.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180828.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180807.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180823.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180808.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180809.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180810.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180821.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180822.JPG" /><br /><br />Mint Julips for everyone, in honor of Mamaw...<br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180829.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180804.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180811.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180812.JPG" /><br /><br />The Steel Drum Band...<br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180813.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180814.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180815.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180805.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180816.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180824.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180825.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180827.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180820.JPG" /><br /><br />A ride in the possibly sinking "Night Moves"...<br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180817.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180819.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180826.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/08180818.JPG" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-7897872030163297068?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-51126386822428413942008-08-13T10:37:00.003-05:002008-08-13T10:47:06.673-05:00I knew I would like Kristin and Zac the minute they suggested doing their engagement session at the hangar where Zac works on old planes. I could have been at that hangar all day long shooting! What a fantastic idea!! Kristin and Zac where a lot of fun and I am so so excited for their wedding this fall. Here are some of my faves from the engagement session...

Chris' sister came along for the shoot and I had to ask her "Are they always this cute together?" and without hesitation she said "Yes". They just seem to really be confident in themselves and very comfortable with one another. We headed down to the King William area of San Antonio. They introduced me to the area, which I now love! I will be back :) Congratulations you two and I'm looking forward to November!<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270801.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270802.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270803.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270804.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270806.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270805.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270808.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270807.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270809.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270810.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270811.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270812.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270813.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270814.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270817.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270815.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270816.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270818.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270819.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270822.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270821.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07270820.JPG" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-22896709386817814?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-21842592461282337172008-07-26T17:16:00.003-05:002008-07-26T17:26:41.433-05:00Varuni and Minesh are getting married this coming October. Since they are getting married downtown San Antonio, they wanted to do some traditional pictures at the Hindu Temple. I loved the idea! Check out their gorgeous attire. They just light up at the sight of one another and can make each other laugh without trying. I had so much fun with these two and am really looking forward to their big day! <br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260804.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260806.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260801.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260808.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260810.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260812.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260802.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260803.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260805.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260809.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260807.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260811.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260813.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260814.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260815.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260817.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260818.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260819.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260816.JPG" /><br /><br /><img src="http://amydeyoung.com/blog/07260820.JPG" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-2184259246128233717?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-58517471779607616522008-07-25T10:45:00.004-05:002008-07-25T19:06:28.495-05:00Katy and I went to High School together. Yep, we were in the band and wore funny hats with plumes during marching season... isn't "plumes" an odd word? Ok, on to the stuff that matters - the beautiful bride and handsome groom! They were married outside near the Spring Lake Country Club... with the greatest get-a-way car EVER! We took a ride down to Lake Michigan and back before the reception. I had so much fun capturing their day and running into old friends.

The details were amazing as well. Shawn's mom worked so hard on them and my personal favorites were the table number signs - each one had different black and white images of Shawn and Brian from over the years. They have been together for 14 years so there were some great shots from the past spread around the room! Also, the reception was so much fun, with Robert from <a href="http://encorepartydjs.weblog.com/">Encore Party DJ's</a> playing some great tunes! He impressed me with his great idea - he sends out cards prior to the wedding so that the guests can request their faves before the big day. Then come the wedding - he has compiled a list of everyone's faves, rather than playing the same 'ole stuff at every wedding. Genius. <br /><br />I had a great time capturing Shawn & Brian's day. Congratulations you two!!

(I am now done with maternity leave, so I promise I won't keep bombarding you with baby/family pics). I'm just in love with these images and wanted to share. I figured for once in the early life of Jay, I'd like to be in some of the family photos with my family. Maile is awesome! She is hilariously funny and so very talented! Check out her <a href="http://dailyrelish.squarespace.com/">blog</a> and prepare to be entertained.

He is so healthy and Mommy and Daddy are doing great and are sooo in love with this precious blessing of a little man.

I actually met Charisse in Florida when Paul and her hubbie worked together. Then we both ended up here in San Antonio and I am so glad! Charisse is fastly becoming one of my favorite people.<br /><br />Bella has been invited to be a part of the well-known Miss America Pageant events and needed headshots. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon - capturing the pure joy and innocent beauty of a child :) The first three are the final headshots and I've also added some of my faves from the day...<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/04070805.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/04070807.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/04070806.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/04070801.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/04070802.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/04070803.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/04070804.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-4379697599009354742?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-22629836541518655572008-04-02T17:55:00.003-05:002008-04-02T18:17:00.181-05:00So Baby DeYoung has officialy made his/her modeling and television debut... all before entering the world. This morning's edition of San Antonio Living was based around the San Antonio Mommas that have made their way to LA to design nursery's for the celebrities (such as Tori Spelling, Brooke Burke, and Jamie Priestley). This local nursery and maternity boutique have become two of my favorite places! In fact, we bought our nursery bedding from <a href="http://www.nurserycouture.com">Nursery Couture</a> - I knew I had superstar taste ;) <br /><br />Some pictures below of my first TV experience. And was I pleasantly surprised to see my friend and very talented photographer, Maile of <a href="http://www.relishportraitstudio.com/">Relish Photography</a> there! She was a featured guest for her great Maternity and family pictures. Also featured was DD Cobb, owner of <a href="http://www.chicmamas.com">Chic Mama</a>, Katy Mimari, owner of <a href="http://www.nurserycouture.com">Caden Lane and Nursery Couture</a>, and Tracy Garcia, owner of <a href="http://www.petitesuites.net">Petite Suites wall murals</a>. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.woai.com/mediacenter/local.aspx?videoId=524893@video.woai.com&navCatId=13">Want to see the clip?

The owner asks me "So what are you doing tomorrow morning?" ...apparently I am modeling some of the gorgeous maternity clothes in her store on the local live morning show San Antonio Living! The show airs on NBC here in San Antonio at 10am local time.

I have 4 1/2 weeks until my due date. wow. Paul and I are getting really excited and trying to get all of the last minute things in place before little Baby DeYoung graces us with his/her presence. I am also doing my best to make sure all orders are fulfilled before Baby arrives. Once Baby decides to make an arrival, I will be taking several weeks off and checking my email minimally. <br /><br />So to all of my clients, if you haven't yet placed an order and want to make sure you get it in a normal timely fashion - albums, coffee table books, prints, stretched canvas prints, etc... - please contact me asap to get your order placed.

They ended their evening with Sondra surprising her new hubbie and singing "Come Away With Me". Then Ryan escorted his new bride out of the Governor's Club while being showered with roses and across the street to The Governor's Inn. How romantic! To be a part of their day was such an honor.

The following weekend I traveled to Tallahassee, FL to shoot the wedding of Sondra & Ryan (coming soon). When I got back from that, my pregnant body decided it needed to crash. Now that I've caught up on some much needed rest, I am back to blogging. <br /><br />Ahh, Love Affair - to have a love affair with your life, with your family, with your God, with your career. That was the focus of this workshop. How to get your life back and still have a love affair with all the important areas of your life. To have that much desired balance that we all strive for. On the airplane ride out to the East Coast, I made a list of those things I wanted to get out of my week at Bald Head Island. My list included...<br /> - Learning how to balance family (husband and baby) and a thriving business<br /> - Time to renew and refresh<br /> - Gain photoshop and photography knowledge (the learning never ends)<br /> <br />I came back having gained SO much! Thanks to all of the amazing ladies in attendance and the fantastic four (<a href="http://www.davinafear.com">Davina</a>, <a href="http://www.laurenclarkphotography.com/">Lauren</a>, <a href="http://www.kellymoorephotography.com/">Kelly</a>, and <a href="http://www.millieholloman.com/">Millie</a>) that put on this amazing workshop. I feel I am now better prepared to juggle business owner, wife, motherhood, and all the other roles us women face. I was able to spend some time relaxing as well. Everything was first class - from the super soft robe greeting us on our beds, to the home cooked meals all week long by Millie's phenominal mother (she cooked for 60 of us every meal!), to the finale night that included professional massages for everyone! Here are some images to share my experience...<br /><br />All of the ladies...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03100816.png" /><br /><br />Our home away from home - the house on the right...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03100802.jpg" /><br /><br />Some shots around the island...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03100807.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03100803.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03100808.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03100806.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03100805.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03100801.jpg" /><br /><br />This was my wonderful roomie, Meggie...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03100814.jpg" /><br /><br />A few images I took during the shooting sessions...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03100810.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03100811.jpg" /><br /><br />A few shots Lauren Clark took of me & my belly...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03100813.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03100812.jpg" /><br /><br />And lastly, the final night the fantastic four gave us a book that they had put together. Everyone was having them sign the book, while I had them sign the baby...<br /><img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/03100809.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-2940421438628371747?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-61838599092764301192008-02-16T17:18:00.004-06:002008-02-16T17:30:09.312-06:00<img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/lovee5.jpg" /><br /><br />Ok, so I'm not really going fishing. However, I will be away at the highly anticipated workshop Love Affair and I am very excited! Ladies only and we will be learning from some of my absolute favorite people - <a href="http://www.davinafear.com">Davina Fear</a>, <a href="http://www.millieholloman.com">Millie Holloman</a>, <a href="http://www.laurenclarkphotography.com">Lauren Clark</a>, and <a href="http://www.kellymoorephotography.com">Kelly Moore</a>. Not only are these ladies good personal friends of mine, they are abundantly talented and willing to share! The only one I have not yet met is Kelly and I am really looking forward to it. I will be traveling to Bald Head Island, Southport, NC to spend the week with many other talented women, living in lavish homes, and soaking up an over abundance of knowledge. <br /><br />The word is that there will be remote internet and cell phone coverage. So if you email me or leave me a voicemail, please be patient with my response and know that I will get back with you as soon as possible.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-6183859909276430119?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22807744.post-18801808834816761832008-02-14T12:13:00.002-06:002008-02-14T12:14:55.364-06:00<img src="http://www.amydeyoung.com/blog/valentine%20blog.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22807744-1880180883481676183?l=amydeyoungphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Amy DeYounghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12196833917684568637noreply@blogger.com1
