I don’t even know how to describe Amanda. She’s one girl who always keeps me on my toes. Crazy, fun, serious, silent, loud…. yes, all of them describe her. She’s got so many talents too. She’s a singer, a photographer, a painter, athletic, and so much more…. and she’s only 17. I get to meet with her about once a week to talk about God, life, and everything in between. She’s such a sweet friend (even though she seems to get me into a lot of trouble… which I’ll explain in a minute) and I was so glad I got to do her Senior pictures. Amanda, I hope you are having an AWESOME first week of your senior year!

Okay, so there’s a story behind this lovely field. After several hours of waiting at my house for the rain to stop so we could do her senior pictures, we saw some blue sky and headed out. Amanda spotted a pond that she wanted to take pictures by, so I pulled to the side of the road by a ditch. What I forgot was that because it had just rained, the ground was soft. So, I started to slide, then my tires started spinning… oh yes…. so I floored it to make it up the hill… rubber burning…. mud flying…. needless to say I finally made it back to the road. And Amanda’s words were “And the point of that was????”…. Um, yeah, the point of that was to take pictures where YOU wanted. From now on… it’s my choice. haha…. so there was a field behind the pond, I found another place to park… and we walked through the marshy ground to get there. And you know what my choice landed me? NINETY-TWO CHIGGER BITES (yes, I counted). So, trouble is what happens when I’m with Amanda. But needless to say, we got some AMAZING images from the field. Even though I had a car that looked like it went mudding and legs that looked like I had chicken-pox…. it was TOTALLY worth it.

I told you it was worth it!

And she is ALWAYS laughing. I love this one!

Lovely lady!!

WORK IT!!!

So typical of Amanda. And that’s why I love her!

And this is my wannabe gangsta friend.
