Amanda Jackson Photography

Madeline, Nancy, and I made a video for our Canterbury Tales project for English class. I had to get some pictures of course, but don't worry the blood is ketchup! Below is the final video and a few shots taken during filming.

The beginning of the video, the Prioress' Prologue, is a sequence of photos meshed together.
And yes, The tall, sexy red head with the mask is me! JK!

So, I mentioned the shoot with Maddie that I was really excited about, and here it is!
Nancy, Madeline, and Nicole were stuck shooting in the freezing cold wind, but they were great sports, and I know they had fun. The wind even turned out to be a good addition!

Yesterday, I returned from my trip to Nampa for All-State choir.
I never realized how many high school students had such amazing talent!
Some of the other students from my school and a few from out of town were my subjects for my new shots. My friends are so silly, and I love it! We had a lot of fun just going with the flow and shooting anything we felt like. (We had a lot of free time between rehearsals.) I also got a few pictures of a gorgeous fountain on the NNU campus.
I'm going to miss everyone I met there. It was truly a rewarding experience.

I'm going to All-State choir this week, so I won't be able to do any more shoots until I get back. :(
Fortunately, my trip will be really fun, but I will definitely miss my models!
I'm bringing my camera with me so I may get some cool nature shots! Can't wait!

My friends Nancy, Maddie, and I got together to do a school project, but it became more of a photo shoot than an actual project . Fortunately, we did accomplish our original goal, but we also had tons of fun.
Coming soon is my shoot with Maddie. It's gonna be pretty sweet, so stay tuned.

She's really a natural.

I'm still getting familiar with my camera, so I decided to test my shutter speed on my boyfriend's backyard waterfall. After that, he and I decided to go down to Rock Creek Canyon and experiment some more :)

My closet is overflowing with strange and uncommon items. And what would I do without them?!
My brave and willing buddy, Nicole Savage, agreed to let my experiment with a few of my less-than-average clothing pieces. My vision was to create a unique, almost whimsical feel. Some have mentioned it reminds them of Alice in Wonderland. While this was not my intent, I can see how they would think so, but only slightly.

This shoot had me excited for weeks! I was utterly psyched to work with Nicole because of her gorgeous and very unique face. (I told her that if she were six inches taller, she could be a high fashion model.) Nicole was very open about everything, and I knew she really enjoyed the process; I know she enjoyed the outcome!

Kylie's pictures have been attracting a little buzz around school. I've had a few requests for shoots, and I decided to work with one of my other good friends, Nancy. I really enjoyed working with her. She is very creative, as well as open-minded.

After such a successful photo shoot, we thought, why not try another one?
For this look, we decided to shoot in the grungier side of town.

Upon purchasing my Canon Rebel XS, I decided to combine two of my greatest passions: fashion and photography.My best friend Kylie was gracious enough to allow me to practice on her and, I must say, she looks gorgeous.
