225 Photography {the blog}






Welcome to 225 Photography {the blog}! I'm Amanda - crazy about my husband, our four kids, and photography.  I specialize in maternity, newborn, child, family, and senior photography in and around Baton Rouge. 

My style is clean, simple, and fun.  I believe a portrait session should be fun so expect to laugh, joke and be silly during our time together.  Take a look at recent work here on the blog and if you like what you see, get in touch to schedule your session.

Remember the sweet little newborn session I showed last week? There was one shot in particular that the mama had asked for and they ended up a bit blurry with sweet little G moving a bit so I went back last Saturday and we tried again. I’m so glad I went back because I love, love, love this image:

Meet sweet baby G. You may remember her mama’s maternity session from earlier this summer. Little miss made her appearance on the 4th of July, 5 weeks early. She is the sweetest, most content baby and I know mama, daddy, and her big brothers are all very excited she’s here.

5 things i’m loving now

1. I recently discovered Three Potato Four and they have the cutest things ever. I love this card catalog end table.
2. This photo just screams summer to me. Maybe I need to get a cute bike with a basket on front to help me better embrace summer…
3. Do you remember recipe boxes? As a kid I remember my aunts, my mom, my grandmother, they all had one stuffed to the gills with handwritten recipes on recipe cards and scraps of paper. Saw these recipe boxes and I’m inspired to actually sit down and organize my recipes and maybe even write down the stuff I make that doesn’t have a recipe (just in case a certain husband was inspired to get in the kitchen cook).
4. Appreciate good design? This mini documentary on Roman and Williams is worth watching.
5. I’m so impressed and inspired by this Michigan teen running a small CSA from her backyard garden.

What are you loving now?

the w family | baton rouge family photographer

I photographed this sweet family earlier this year for a personal photography project and then again recently for a fun summer afternoon lifestyle session that involved a picnic and playing in the fountains. It was a fun session and I had such a great time watching this sweet family play together. W family, I’m sorry to see you leaving Baton Rouge but I hope these photographs will help you fondly remember your time here!
