Amanda Tyler photography

On Sept. 17th 2008 there was a fire off of burlingame ave with the swiss vally apartments, I was on my way back eating dinner with my family for my mother’s birthday and saw the smoke, so I grabbed my camera and went to see what was going on. It is so sad seeing all the families that were effected by the fire and standing around outside of their apartments and waiting, the firemen were working very hard trying to make sure everything was safe and the fire was out

Went downtown, went to the new museum and saw the Christmas tree up in front, over by where people can ice skate in Rosa park circle, took some pictures while the snow was coming down, and it was really cold, my camera was covered with a bag while I was taking the photo’s. My good friend Aurora was with me, video taping everything , then my boyfriend was taking some pictures as well. we were on a adventure of taking pictures in the very cold weather, and having fun in the snow, we also went on top of a parking garage , my first time, and taking pictures of the cars going by, it was very windy and snow kept coming, but it was a great fun experience with my friends.

The windows are covered as if their stain glass, the snow is like little crystals falling from the sky , the ground is ice and you could fall. I have my little hat and my coat to keep me warm, I have a smile on my face as I spin around in circles when the snow falls down, this portrait came to mind remembering just a few weeks ago this little girl was enjoying the leaves as I was with the snow. I am a little child at heart and I love taking moments out of my day and just not think of anything going on around me and feel young again. This portrait tells me a story of a child that will some day become a beautiful young woman that can look at these days and see the child within her .

This is my first entry and this is a portrait I really enjoyed.

It’s easy  when your subject is so beautiful.

Brother and Sister finding Adventure together.
I had a lot of fun going out and taking their photograph’s , they were full of life and enjoyed everything around them, They both loved getting their photograph’s taken so that part was a piece of cake , it was the keeping up with them part that took me by surprise but yet it was exicting at the same time .
I would have to say they get their characters that they have due to their mother , I havent met the father yet, but their mother is a wonderful person ready for anything even though she works so hard, juggling everything in her life as well as theirs.
I would call her Super mom.
