Hailey & Tyler

Recently, I did a newborn sitting with Hailey and family. She was feeling a little fussy--modeling is hard work--but we still managed to get some good shots. Tyler is the proud big brother and loves getting his picture taken. It was great to have the opportunity to take photos of the whole family--a new baby is such a big event! Here are some of my favorites.

The Mighty Quinn

I am slowly emerging from the baby fog, as my sister in law calls it. For anyone who does not yet have kids, the first few weeks are a haze of sleep deprivation and extreme monotony.

Baby X was born September 18th and weighed in at a healthy 9 lbs 6 oz. We named him Quinn and he is doing really well--the first week home was a little rough because he had a bad case of jaundice so we were going back and forth to the hospital and Dr every day, but after that, we settled into a nice routine of eat, sleep, change diaper repeat. His onesie says "Feed Me or Nobody Sleeps." So true!

More Wedding Photos

I am still trying really hard to catch up with my blog postings! I just finished the album design for Jeff and Lauren's wedding and I just had to post a few more of my favorite pics from their June Wedding at Ft Belvoir. Enjoy!

New Calendar & Schedule Update

I added a new Availability Calendar link to my website. You can find it along the top navigation under "Contact & Availability." Dates are filling up for 2008, and there are a lot of popular ones in Spring and Summer already.
Also, as a lot of you know, I have entered into the "very pregnant" stage and am beginning to wind down with appointments and I am not doing any more shooting till October. If you are interested in a date/appt, don't hesitate to contact me, I just may be a little slower in getting back to you. Right now, Baby X's arrival date is Sept 18, but I am not scheduling appts past Sept 8, just in case he decides to make an early appearance.
In the meantime, I will keep updating with some of my favorite pics from my recent weddings and sittings. I have been slow in doing this since I have been trying to get all my albums and other items as completed as possible before Baby comes. Stay tuned....

Email and Host Problems

Anyone who has been corresponding with me lately, or has looked at my site lately, knows I have been having major email and server issues. I am in the process of moving everything to a new company, so please be patient with me while I make the switch. In the meantime, feel free to email me at amie.otto@gmail.com as an alernate address! Thanks :)

Ft Belvoir: Lauren & Jeff

Yikes, am I behind in my posting! I have been so busy with weddings and then editing, I have let the blog get away from me (again). How do I get better at posting in a more timely manner? *sigh*

In June, I hade the pleasure of photographing Lauren and Jeff's wedding at Ft Belvoir. Besides getting lost in the the maze that is Ft Belvoir at night, everything was great :) I had no problem getting into Ft Belvoir, it was getting out that was the problem. No one mentioned the MAIN gate is closed at night! Here are some of my faves from the wedding.

Rachel & Parham, Raspberry Plain

I'm about half way through Rachel and Parham's photos and wanted to post a few. The wedding was at Raspberry Plain in Leesburg. The weather was rainy, but that did not dampen the sprits of the happy couple!
