I’m getting my plunge on!

Hey Everyone!  I know it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted and that is because even the off-season is crazy busy!  Pretty soon, you will see some awesome changes here at Amanda Egan Photography… I’m really excited!  Anyway, that is not the reason for this particular post….

I recently accepted the challenge of participating in the 2009 Polar Bear Plunge for Special Olympics . Not only will I be Getting My Plunge On, but I’ll be raising money for children and adults in Kentucky with intellectual disabilities so that they can have the opportunity to experience the joy of sports training and competition.  So, on February 28th, I am going to be jumping into the Ohio River.  That’s right… the Ohio River.

Now, this is where all of you come in.  I am asking you to help by supporting my fund-raising efforts with a donation. Your tax-deductible gift will make a difference in the lives of many! It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause!  Just click on the link below to visit my personal page and to donate to Special Olympics.

For all of you who are already my awesome clients, I am going to give you a compliemtary 8×10 of any image from your E-Sessions, Wedding, Senior Session, etc. when you donate!  Also, I promise that my husband will be there video taping me jumping into the Ohio River.  I will make another post on February 29th featuring that video so you all get to watch!  :)

Lets all help make a difference!  Thanks!

Thanks!

Since we are about to ring in a new year, I wanted to say how thankful I am to all of my wonderful clients who helped make my 2008 amazing!  My little business has grown so much this year & I could not have done it without you!  Thank you so much!  Check back soon for a post of all of my favorite images from 2008.

Sara & Marco were married in the absolutely amazing St. Louis Church downtown.

Sara & Marco:  Thank you for letting us share your day with you!  Your wedding was such a great way to end this year’s wedding season.  If I have 20 more weddings just like yours next year, I will be a very happy photographer!  Congrats!

From start to finish, Sara & Marco’s wedding day was so relaxing!  Such a blast to shoot!  Sara was the most laid back bride – she didn’t even have her hair done, which was awesome, by the way.  They were so happy to be together and it really shines through in the pictures.  I have so many favorites, I have to break them up into two posts!

Beth took this next image of Sara getting into her dress:

Part 2 coming up….

Vacation in Tokyo!

Hello everyone!  I just wanted to let everyone know that I am going to be out of the office starting tomorrow (Saturday, November 22) through next Sunday (November 30th).  Beth (my awesome assistant) and I am going to Tokyo, Japan!  I will not be answering any email during this time, so please be patient!  I will get back to work as soon as I get home!

Be sure to check back next week for tons of pictures from Tokyo!!  :)

Amanda & Nick – Engaged!

I had a great time shooting with Amanda and Nick a couple of weekends ago!  I got to shoot in a brand new location, which made for some great shots!  Here are my favorites:

Amanda is a professional violinist.  How cool is that?  Since she has never had professional pictures taken with her instrument, we took a few.

Then Nick thought he would try his hand at playing.

Amanda & Nick: I had a great time with you guys & I can’t wait until the wedding!

Bad luck and catching up…

Wow… what a crazy year this has been so far!  First of all, I want to say thanks to all of you who have left me wonderful comments!  Your kind words mean so much to me!

Now, I know that this is technically a ‘photo’ blog & this post contains no photos.  However, sometimes a person just needs to vent a little & what better way than on my own public forum here?  I am having some bad luck.  I was in a car accident a couple of days ago.  I was lucky.. no one was hurt!  However, I did just pay my car off two days before the accident.  How ironic is that?  Why does that always happen?  You finally pay something off & then it breaks!

On to more important news… It’s time for me to catch up!  I just finished a string of 12 weddings in a row.  Which left me very little time for editing.  Which is why it is taking me a bit longer than originally planned to get your sessions & albums ready.  I appreciate everyone’s patience so much!  So, I am taking this first weekend off in 12 weeks to catch everything up!…

Brandi & Brittany: your senior sessions are getting ready to be uploaded as I type!

Tara & Tom:  I am putting the finishing touches on your wedding now.

Lauren & Craig: Your E-session is also getting finishing touches!

Christina & Jon; Julie & Brian: Your E-Sessions are next on the list!

Again, thanks to all of my awesome clients for being so patient and for making my year so much better than I ever expected!
