We always have something we don't like, something that makes us uncomfortable with ourselves. One of the most attractive things is when you can find someone who looks past the few extra pounds, the wrinkles, or the crooked nose and just totally rocks a photoshoot.
When I moved to Bend, one of my first friends here was an amazing gal named Amanda. When I met Amanda she was more than a few pounds heavier than she'd like to be, but the confidence that oozed from this girl has always amazed me. She is a great friend, and royal kick in the pants, and this girl...she is SEXY! One of my all time favorite photos thus far is one of Amanda at her largest. She just knows how to be herself no matter what. I was always so impressed with her attitude towards life and herself.
Amanda has since moved away, but fortunately for me she moved to Arizona, where I still manage to get too quite often. While I was there last week Amanda and I planned to get together for another photo shoot. The last time I saw Amanda she was getting ready to achieve one of her greatest goals. Amanda lost 100 lbs, and looks AMAZING! Her sparkle is still there, the attitude I loved is still there, and when you are around this girl, you can't help but laugh.
I had the great pleasure of working once again with this beauty.....I'm so proud of you girl. Keep it up, and I hope you get to your ultimate goal! Check these out! Sorry boys, she is taken. Amanda flew home to Bend on the same flight as the girls and I, so we had the pleasure of meeting her boyfriend. After a weekend of meeting the parents, this hottie, is now completely and utterly taken. She is engaged!
Amanda is one incredible woman, and your photography is amazing!
