Thanks to one of my blog followers (and former classmate) for this awesome idea! How about the gift of memories for Christmas?! A gift certificate for a photography session!
Just let me know how much you want to spend. Want the whole package? Just an hour? The CD with printing rights? The recipient doesn't have to know how much the gift is, I'll just include the details.
Who is it for? I'll even personalize the gift certificate!
And now you can cross off that hard-to-buy person off your list. ;)

Big Bro
Ok, so technically he's my 'little' brother...but when he towers a good 6-7 inches above me...he's not so little. :)
Ah...Chris...the instigator of turmoil from a young age. Mom could tell you stories how I would innocently be playing by myself, unaware of the sneak attack about to take place. The capture of my beloved 'bibi' aka: blanket. And that's when it all started.
I started to retaliate. I was the older, taller, stronger, smarter one (hey, when there's 2 years between you, that's 2 more years of smarts) . Pinning him to the ground and tickling until he almost (ok, so maybe he did) wet his pants and lose his breath from laughing so hard. That lasted until I was about 13...and then I got thrown across the room.
So then I lost the brawn...what else did I have? Eating utensils! After swim practice one summer, one our chores to cross off the list was the unload the dishwasher. Somehow it turned into a gladiator match and someone got a fork stuck in their arm...not me! To this day he hasn't let me live it down.
When Chris entered into high school he joined the swim team; I had been on for 3 years. As the 'big' sister with the driver's license it was my 'sisterly' duty to take him to swim practice. Do you remember those awkward, hormonal teenage years?? Yeah...I try to forget them... I would absolutely LOSE IT when Chris said he couldn't find his goggles. I mean, really...a pair of goggles...I had the same pair for all 5 years I was on the swim team. How hard is it to keep up with them?! He couldn't find his goggles...which meant we could be late for practice. I. Hate. Being. Late. Period. Hormones?! So for my Senior Will and Testament before I graduated, I gave him my goggles. I figured there must be some sort of luck with them, I had them for 5 years and they were never 'lost.'
After all the years of torture and being known as "Amanda's little brother" I never really knew the feelings my brother had for me. Brotherly love I guess you could call it. When I graduated from UK he wrote a memoir for me.

Lil Sis...
I was going to buy you a car, I was going to buy you a silver ring with three diamonds cut into it, I was going to buy some really expensive clothes, and I was going to buy you an apartment. You know I wanted to buy the most expensive things anyone could afford.
As you know, I was a freshman this year, and I am growing short on funds. So I decided to make you something that you could remember the good times by, something that you could remember the things we did together.
You might not remember some of these things, but I remember them because they showed me what a big sister is for. You have taught me so much through the years. You showed me how to be romantic, you showed me how to survive my freshman year in high school, and you showed me how to survive a broken heart. You taught me how to be myself around people, and to not give into what people want me to be.
You never had to help through my tough times, but you did. You showed me that I am worth something and that I have things to live for.
You are one of a kind sister that I wouldn't trade for anything else. You couldn't have been better to me through the years. We had our fights, our disappointments, our triumphs, and our stabbing of forks in the kitchen after Waterford swim practices. I wouldn't trade our past for anything. You have been a teacher for me, a great teacher. I thank you for everything you said and did for me. I love you and I am very proud of you.
-Big Bro.
(enter: tears streaming down the face)
note-he was the first person to make me cry on my wedding day...more sentimental words scrawled in a card
And in the book he wrote a few poems and some other sentimental messages.
Feelings I never knew he had.
Memories I thought were faded, tattered at the edges, and accumulating dust.
From him I learned to never underestimate the words you speak and the actions you carry out.
I am so proud of him. His talents have been hidden for years. The guitar...he plays from sound, not reading music. The songs he writes tug at your heart. They pull hard because the lyrics take you back to your dark past and into today's light. They are inspiring, refreshing, and relational.
He has the biggest heart I've seen. He's more aware of the people in need...in need of someone to invest in them emotionally. He's a listener, a lover, and a leader. So many traits I don't have, but wish I did. You can't just 'learn' how to be empathetic, it is rooted and woven into your being.
And so here he is...my brother...

ONE Commitment
There was some big news in the past about Southland Christian Church purchasing the old Lexington Mall property. Well, if you're interested in reading about the potential ministry and the opportunity to serve the people of this town, check out their blog.
Since our family calls Southland 'home,' we were asked to make a commitment for the future of this site. Through a series of very powerful and moving sermons and bible studies, we were compelled to reconsider our financial status as a family and think sacrificially for this building project. Nate and I sat together for a few nights looking at our budget and thinking, "What can we give above and beyond our tithe?" We crunched numbers, we shaved off in certain budget categories, and we thought about what else we could do to help invest in other's futures.
And now you're probably wondering what this has to do with photography, well...I thought how I can use my gifts and talents sacrificially. And so we brainstormed and here's what we came up with...
*any wedding I'm hired to shoot at SCC, my earnings go toward the ONE campaign.
*any photo shoot to take place at SCC (ie: family, senior, etc) my earnings will go toward the ONE campaign.
*I can schedule seasonal family sessions (just like fall and winter mini sessions) on location at SCC, and guess what I would do with my earnings...that's right, to the ONE campaign.
So if you call Southland home, have another church home, don't have a church home...here's one way to help the communities of Lexington and Nicholasville. Just another way for our family to give back to the community. :)

Amanda Mitchell Photography's *NEW* Additions!!
That's right, we're growing! On Baby A's post you may have briefly read about my new props. Well, I had a chance to give them all a try! Take a look at how I'm incorporating my hobby of crocheting with photography...
Newborn Nest
Elfin hat (more colors to come!)
Cacoon and beanie
(more colors to come!)
I'm even contemplating taking special orders for colors. Of course, I would need ample time to purchase materials and create your special prop.
Some other props on my wish list...
Galvanized Tubs
Various baskets

Tis the Season to Giveaway and Share
Giving and sharing is what this season is all about, right?! I'm here to share some gift giving ideas you can use with your Amanda Mitchell Photography images. Oh yeah...and the 'giveaway' part of my title...you'll have to read to the end to find out more. :) In involves YOU sharing your ideas as well.
Many families give the gift of memories for the holidays. Just like with any gift, you take great care in selecting quality gifts that will last forever. That includes your precious memories...PICTURES!
If you're a customer of mine, you know I always recommend Shutterfly to print your images...and that's why I use Shutterfly's ProGallery for customers to view and share their images from our sessions. And if you're not a customer, well...listen up!
From my experience, Shutterfly has provided superb quality of prints, photobooks, and cards. How do I know? Well, because I've tried other photolabs. Comparing Shutterfly to Clark Color Labs, Snapfish, Wal-Mart, Sam's Club...Shutterfly provides richer, more vibrant colors without going overboard. The same goes for their photobooks. Not only do the colors of your images stand out in photobooks, but the quality of the book will as well. Shutterfly photobooks, compared to those of Clark Color Images, just FEEL sturdier. The binding and stitching feels tighter; giving a sturdy feeling, rather than loose and floppy. The pages of their photobooks are heavier, or thicker one might say. What about cards? The SELECTION! I've never seen more of a selection for cards, stationary, or invitations than at Shutterfly. You can also find an array of styles: traditional, modern, artsy, sophisticated or simple...and of course colors galore!
But you're not a professional photographer...or you don't have editing software. No big deal! Shutterfly also provides limited editing tools like....
*fix red eye
*image cropping
*effects such as black/white, color tone, saturate color, or soft focus
*add borders such as simple, seasonal, text, and color.
So let's focus (pun intended...ok, maybe I'm the only person who found that funny) on the holiday cards for a moment. I have quite a dilemma...choosing a Christmas card! Shutterfly has SO many options...below you will see three cards I'm choosing from. If you like Shutterfly's card design, click the link and it will take you directly to it!
What is so unique about these cards is the way to customize the INSIDE! That's right...not only do you get to show off your family on the front, but the inside as well! Some designs offer a TIMELINE highlighted with images from this year. Tired of typing up the annual Christmas letter...how about figuring out the margins of the stationary you're using? What about folding a bazillion letters?! Solution: Think of a few significant events from 2010, pop in a picture to illustrate it and VOILA...a Christmas card, letter and mini album ALL IN ONE! Some of the card designs offer a simpler approach, add a few pictures to the inside, and the bottom has a premade message, like most boxed Christmas cards. Take a peek from Shutterfly's site.
So once again...here's what we're thinking about for our family Christmas card. You'll also notice they aren't my family. You wouldn't want me to ruin the surprise of our Christmas card picture, right?! ;)
*canvas wall art
*mugs
*ornaments
*mouse pads
*magnets
*coasters
*keep sake boxes
*desk organizer
*puzzles
*playing cards
*notebooks and notepads
*jewelry
*tote bags

Baby A: newborn
I first met Baby's A big brother during my Fall Frenzy mini sessions. Baby A hadn't made his appearance yet, but soon enough I got to meet him. And was big brother a PROUD big brother when I came to capture the new bundle of joy.
For this shoot I made (yes, that's right, I MADE) a few props. I was inspired by an artist I found on etsy, Mad About Colour. You'll see Baby A wrapped in a newborn nest. I elaborated a bit and added the toggle buttons. Baby A was my experiment and well...I think my nests to be a bit larger. :) You'll also see Baby A sporting one of the elfin hats. More to come about my creations at a later date...I'm still adding to my prop collection. Who would've thought my hobby of crocheting could be incorporated into my photography biz!

Christa & Jacob
Christa was a bridesmaids from Katie & Ryan's wedding (look back to find her!). At Katie's wedding she asked me for my contact info...she was engaged to Jacob and was interested in doing an engagement session.
Christa and Jacob challenged me...hey, that's a good thing! They wanted to go downtown Lex for their session. They wanted to get pics on the old Rupp Arena floor, Triangle Park, and downtown. I had fun playing around with exposure...slowing things down a bit to get the water fountains to blur and using the street lights which casted dramatic shadows. Oooh-la-la.

C Family
The C Family were the lucky winners of the YMCA Campaign for Kids silent auction held back in February. Meeting the family with the three boys reminded me of my husband's family...three boys! And I'm pretty sure our little family will be the same...err...except for 2 boys. ;)
Anyhoo...the two oldest brothers were a kick! So photogenic and willing to participate...hence the awesome snapshots! :)
At the end of our session Mrs. C asked if I ever eat at Mellow Mushroom. Well, you see...I used to live on Lexington Ave...which is right there next to campus, so we frequented the local pizza parlors. Come to find out they own the place! Mmmm....now I'm reminded of the soft pretzels...ahhh.....

Wee Bit Wednesday
Wow...Wednesday ALREADY?!
{one} what kind of camera do you have? Canon Rebel xsi
{two} you just won $1000 and you have to spend it on yourself on one item. what do you buy?
One item? Probably some tricked-out lens. :)
{three} if you had to choose, would you rather live with your parents in the same house forever or 5000 miles away? 5000 miles away. I love you mom and dad...but f-o-r-e-v-e-r is a lo-o-o-o-o-o-ng time.
{four} is your Christmas tree up yet?
Yup, right after Thanksgiving. We'll see how long it stays up with a crawling baby. :)

{four} is your Christmas tree up yet?
Yup, right after Thanksgiving. We'll see how long it stays up with a crawling baby. :)
{five} do you bring reusable bags to the grocery store?
Of course! Gas points for Kroger...HELLO?!
{six} which would be worse: listening to the same song on replay for the rest of your life or having to eat the same meal everyday for the rest of your life?
Same meal...food is just fuel for the body...so they say...
Same meal...food is just fuel for the body...so they say...
{seven} name 3 things you are thankful for this season.
my husband, my son, and ....I'll get back to you...
{eight} do you dye/highlight your hair? if so, do you do it yourself or have it done at the salon? No. Did it before....too much maintenance. Maintenance = $$$ I'm too frugal :)
{nine} would you rather watch a movie at home or at the theater?
Home. Snuggled up in bed next to hubby. :)
{ten} would you rather win $1000/week for life or $5 million all at once?
Well, I did the math (dork, I know). If I took the $1000/wk option then I would have $5 mill in about twenty years. Then again...if I took the $5 mill we could get a dream home AND I could get my studio...sooner than if we took the $1K a week. I'd say the $1k/wk for life...I'm pretty good with delayed gratification.
