Remember Nancy + Eddie?! Justin and I shot their wedding a few years ago (which is still is one of my favorite weddings to date), and since then we've become great friends, Nancy is now running her own wedding/event planning company called So Happi Together (I'm sure you've seen me throw her name around from time to time on my blog), and Eddie is busy jump starting his own photography company!

Now, Nancy + Eddie are moving on to yet another exciting adventure and that is prepping the world for the arrival of their little girl Elle! I loved this shoot mainly because I got to photograph Nancy & her baby bump, but also because it was stylized alongside Jeni Maus of Found Vintage Rentals (her furnishing are AMAZING!)!

Congrats to Nancy + Eddie, love you two and I CAN'T WAIT to meet your baby Elle!

When I shot Borami + Anthony's engagement session and after getting to know them I knew that everything about their wedding was going to be timeless! Justin and I thoroughly enjoyed this day, the venue was gorgeous (Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu), the couple was gorgeous, the ambiance was gorgeous, and we were able to work again with the lovely ladies of Events of Love And Splendor!

Erin Kirchhoff, The Locket said:
Love this set! I am in LOVE with your blurred out couple pic on the carousel! If you are comfortable, what lens did you use for the dancing couple pic with the extreme blurred background? It looks like a tilt shift of some sort to me. If so, do you have experience with more than one tilt shift or do you have a preference of one over another? I'm in the market for one and haven't found anyone who has much advice on comparing them! Thanks a million, Erin, The Locket

Just four more weeks and I get to meet my little girl! I am BEYOND excited to be able to bring another child into our family and I can't wait to hold my little Monroe in my arms, kiss her, & tell her how much I already love her!

A HUGE thank you to Angie Sloan for taking these amazing maternity pics of me and thank you even more for letting me do a preview post of my favorite images. Keep a look out on the Sloan's blog for the rest of my maternity pics in the very near future!

MENTORSHIPoneonone.jpg
Great news!!! I am now offering private one-on-one mentor sessions! This is a spin off of of the LYON-SHOP classes that have been offered in the past, but these sessions can be catered to fit your specific needs! This is a great opportunity if you're looking to improve your photography skills, or simply need to revamp your business. I'll cover everything from shooting techniques, to post processing, to time management, to client interaction, to marketing and branding! For more information email amelia@amelialyon.com!
ma_wed083a.jpg
mentorshipinfo.jpgI conducted a one-on-one mentor session a few months ago with the lovely Kara Mercer and her sweet friend Brooke Ogilvie. They both teamed up and opted to do a full day mentor session together with me. It was really fun getting to know them and helping them out with things they wanted to work on to improve their photography businesses! Click here to see what Brooke had to say about the mentor session!
dm_001.jpgI set up a shoot that covered how to work with natural and available light, the use of different lenses, client interaction, and specific camera settings.
dm_002.jpgdm_003.jpgdm_004.jpgNext we covered off camera lighting!
dm_005.jpgdm_006.jpgMy favorite shot of the day!
