Published: HOME & DESIGN

July 15, 2013

A traditional house was given an sophisticated and fresh design by Amanda Austin through color, heirlooms, and textures. This month’s HOME&DESIGN magazine published this home designed by Amanda Austin of Amanda Austin Interiors. The home is located outside of historic Williamsburg, VA and is filled with natural light. Amanda works closely with the home owners ensuring the house would become personal and a home to her clients. One way Amanda adds personal touches to the home is by selectively re-uses keepsakes and heirloom pieces that are important to her clients and incorporates the pieces. This is what she did in this Williamsburg home. As a photographer working with Amanda Austin my desire and goal is to capture the beauty and splendor that she designed in each room. In each photograph I know that there have been many hours of designing and selecting colors, wall covering, furniture, rugs, artwork to create a space that is personal to each of her clients. It is thrilling to have my name next to her work. Thank you HOME&DESIGN for publishing this beautiful home for others to enjoy! Make sure you get your copy or you can read the article here.

Brooklyn NY: Jessica and John

July 5, 2013

They both grew up in Brooklyn. Different neighborhoods yet very similar upbringing. Jessica and John’s paths crossed during the college years. It started with some questions from John about the college Jessica was attending. Over time the questions and friendship turned into dates and dating into engagement. Jessica and John have been on a journey together over the last six years that has grown them closer together and more like the other person. In the beginning Jessica loved reading history and tea; John loved the outdoors and good coffee. They now both enjoy nature and hiking, good coffee, and are both excited to get married outdoors later this month in Lititz.

When I first met Jessica she was organized, wanted a plan and accompanied by the sweetest smile when she spoke of getting married to John.  I knew we would be good fit together. We met up at Swiss Woods Bed and Breakfast in Lititz and I listened to all their wedding plans and dreams. Though Jessica and John love Lititz, they also had many favorite local spots that were special to them in Brooklyn, NY. I love capturing couples in locations they love and choose. We made arrangements for their engagement session to happen in Brooklyn, NY; starting at their home. We then headed to this coffee shop that Jessica found when it first opened as John was always looking for a good cup of coffee; cappuccino in particular. Jessica even had a cup to drink! I had a wonderful morning in Brooklyn with these two capturing them in places they have spent their journey together. Thank you John and Jessica for having and showing me around Brooklyn. I’m so excited for your wedding at the end of this month at Swiss Woods! ENJOY!!!

Meet Abby, their English bulldog!

Love the image above of them.I loved the decor of this coffee shop.Waiting for good coffee together.a perfect heart.John proposed to Jessica over tea and was a surprise to her.stunning!!Jessica also wear her grandmother’s wedding band.They laugh together and are full of smiles.One of the reasons they brought their home was this park was within walking distance, not usual for Brooklyn.LOVE LOVE LOVE this one above.Jessica could not imagine living anywhere else in Brooklyn, thanks to John’s love of nature.Yep, another favorite!!!Their love for one another is so evident to me by how they looked at each other. A smile always appeared.Across from the marine park is this other park where they both spend much time together.

Instagrams: June

July 3, 2013

Before July is half way through here are June’s Instagrams. The month started with the long awaited strawberry picking and end with a trip to NY both for work and family time. One of the benefits of owning your own business is combining the two. In between we attended weddings with friends, celebrated 9 years of marriage, went camping (a quick overnight), saw our healthy baby (can you guess-boy or girl?), cherry picking, and I have a baby bump that is growing. I am so thankful for the iphone and how easy it has made capturing the everyday when I am not hauling around my big camera.

Weaver’s Farm…we love this place to pick! and loved our friends who came with us!

I really enjoyed attending a wedding as a guest with my husband!

Enjoying “Lovin Lititz Every Second”  (second Friday of every month)

this time they attempted to break the world record for the most people wearing sunglasses at night, I think they got it!Out to dinner to celebrate nine years!Our little sprout!

Our tech would NOT tell us or write on a piece of paper…we had to wait to hear from my doctor the next day confirming it’s gender!

So we know!

Myla only asked about ten times why he would not tell us as we prepped her before

that the plan was to write it on paper and read it when out to dinner.

We still enjoyed dinner out.

NY…started in Brooklyn (pizza and ice cream!)Then a water taxi to 34 street to The Empire State BuildingMyla did a great job walking however she ended up for a ride by the end of the day.visiting the 9/11 Memorial.Thanks to priceline they booked us the second night at the Hudson Hotel located off 58th street (south of central park)

…it was amazing and beyond anything I could have booked for us.On Sunday we enjoyed Central Park walking around, taking our time before driving home.
