I’m so excited to share with you images from Amelia and Ben’s recent Oregon anniversary session and 1:1 mentoring session with Katlyn from Katlyn Marie Photoart.  We started our day getting to know each other on a more personal level at lunch, then moved into an extensive Q&A.  She was also presented with a beautiful book of my thoughts, tips, and favorite quotes.  Katlyn is such a delightful young lady with a true heart for couples in love, and telling their story with her art.   She is oh so talented and I was honored and delighted to help her with some direction in her business.  I am so grateful to have a new friend in her, and I look forward to watching her photography journey unfold.  There is nothing more gratifying or exciting to me than to be a small part of helping someone reach their goals and dreams.  Be sure to follow her stunning work on instagram!

A big thank you to Once Wed for featuring this anniversary shoot last week! Check out their feature here.

Here’s Katlyn in action during our session. Here’s some thoughts from her on our day together:
“My favorite part about my time with Amanda was simply being inspired by her and her work. I have followed her work for quite some time and finally meeting her in person and learning more about her and how she has gotten to where she’s at was inspiring and motivating for me to continue working hard. My biggest lesson learned was about getting work featured in wedding publications. Learning what specific things wedding blogs looked for was helpful to me in getting my own work featured.”
