Big Sister Ava + Baby Nielle

These two were so adorable! Ava was quite excited to be at the studio, we could barely get her to sit still. Although when it came to holding baby Nielle, she stepped right in. She was even rocking her!

Hayley + Adam

Wow! Were these guys troopers. It was so cold and WINDY, we experienced first hand how Chicago got it's name! With luck on our sides we managed to take a quick tour of the city before the down pour of rain this past Sunday. I had a lot of fun and can't wait for their WARMER wedding in June.

Holga Pictures from WY

Many of you know about my most recent trip out west. While I was there I took some film images with my favorite toy, the holga.

I only took one roll, so about 12 images. Here are some of my favorites!!







This last one was fun, can you see the double image??

Valentine's Day Review!

A few cancellations for the mini sessions allowed me some time to walk over to City Hall and find some couples tying the knot. Although I didn't get the chance to observe any ceremonies, I was able to capture the excitement after all the paperwork was done. Thank you to everyone that shared their big day with me, it was a blast!

VALENTINE'S DAY MINI SESSIONS

Hey Everyone!

So my plan was to go to the Will County Courthouse Thursday and offer free wedding pictures to couples that were tying the knot at the courthouse...after checking in for permission with the courthouse, the idea fell through.

I still want to offer my services to anyone who might be interested in a mini session (15-20 min). So anyone that will be around the West Loop area Thursday February 14th, 2008 and wants a mini "love" session please contact me and get on the schedule!

This isn't limited to couples, it can be mother/child, grandparents/grandkids, even you with your pets!! You will receive your pictures on a CD approx two weeks from Thurs.

Please email me if you're interested in participating at amanda@amandahein.com

All sessions will take place at my studio located in the West Loop.

Let's Celebrate Love!

Studio

I finally have some images of my new studio space located in the West Loop. There are still some bare walls that need some images but for the most part it's coming together very well.

The studio is open by appointment only for consultations, showings, and natural kids portraits.
