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!

It's so special that you were their photographer for the biggest decision in their life and now the 2nd biggest decision! :) And how fun is it that you were pregnant when you shot this? Love it.
And you really know how to flatter women, miss thang! :)

Love that bed set up. Gorgeous.

This is absolutely gorgeous and so fun! And how the heck did you haul all that stuff out into the wilderness? LOL Or was there a stylist involved?

My good friends the Williams family has a new addition to their little family...meet baby Harvey!!! He's ADORABLE! Of course lately I love taking photos of babies, makes me SO excited to meet our little girl who is expected to arrive in just 5 more short weeks (hopefully a bit sooner!)!
My favorite shot of the day!
Remember baby Wendy?! My, how time flies...
Congrats to the Williams family, I love watching your family grow!
Harvey said:
Awesome work (as always) Amelia!!! But I'm biased, this world needs more Harvey's and this little man looks like the perfect little H! He's adorable!!

heather williams said:
Amelia! Thank you so much for these beautiful pictures of Harvey! I LOVE them. One of my many favorites is the last one with daddy. It might just have to be blown up and hung in his nursery. I don't think you'll ever know how much I value the wonderful pictures you take of my little family. Thank you.

Oh how I love these. Okay..honestly, I love all your work and I should have started commenting a long time ago. I love how you bring out the joy in your clients. And I can't wait to see your family add this little girl. Thanks for reminding me that this is possible with three kids. You're an inspiration...

I love this modern maternity session! I photographed Connie along with her dog, husband and baby belly in and around their home in Downtown Los Angeles. It was fun working with all the modern lines, shadows, and city life...something different from any other maternity shoot I've done in the past.
William is a collector of shoes, so of course they already have some flashy kicks picked out for their little man when he arrives!

Amazing work as usual Amelia! I love how these pregnancy photos aren't the typical ones done in a stuido. Yours, of course, have style and originality!
You shot my friend's wedding in Maui in 2009 and now I am a huge fan of yours!! I am also expeciting my first babe in September and would die for you to take photos like this of my pregnancy :)
Best wishes for the birth of your little girl and looking forward to veiwing more of your work in the future.

I've known Angel Swanson, the lovely owner of Events of Love & Splendor, for a few years now! I've always been SO impressed with her work, her team, and her sweetness! I really look forward to each time I get to work with these ladies, it's the dream-team!
Angel LOVES headbands...to say "loves" is a bit of an understatement, lol! Most of her collection comes from Twigs & Honey!
Angel hired me to do a photo shoot of her, Anna, & Michelle for the launch of their new blog as well as for their profile page. It was a fun afternoon full of giggles, laughs, & Taco Tuesday! Angel also hired Nicole DeAnne to do their hair & make-up...they all looked like beauties!

I love it when clients travel all the way to Southern California for a shoot in the sun! Krystal + Yegor came all the way from Maine! Krystal + Yegor are engaged as well as expecting! Krystal had her baby just a few short days after their visit to SoCal, glad her and baby are doing well so far!
I shot the first half of this session at the ever-so-amazingly-designed SLS Hotel and then the second half in Santa Monica on the beach. Krystal + Yegor wanted to couple the shoot celebrating their engagement as well as the anticipated coming of their first son. Congratulations to them in both instances, what an exciting time in their lives!
