So the creation of this first blog is being done while I am currently working on my new website. I have never had a blog before so pardon me if sometimes ramble on. So as a kind of introduction to you the reader, I guess I will start by introducing myself.

My name is Amanda Lachapelle, owner of Amanda Lachapelle Photography. We are a new company just getting started and while the business number and premises are new I am not. I have been photographing weddings for friends and family for 4 years pro-bono, as they say, which is pretty much a fancy word for “free”. This past year I have been working up to the point of being fully up and operational with a full body of work to show clients as well as a professional website among other things.
I have entered into this field with the experience from working for families and a long time love of photography. Since I was young I remember being in the darkroom with my step father at the time and watching images born and memories captured, it was like freezing time. The allure of taking pictures has always been there, if you ask any of my friends growing up – they will say – that I always had a camera in my hands. Doing something for once that is my passion brings great fulfillment to my life and makes each day worth getting up for.

To any bride and grooms reading this blog I will say this, for me as wedding photography is my focus and where I get the most joy out of photography, I love seeing couples in love! I love weddings in general – the planning, the thought and effort that goes into the big day. My approach is to make you feel as comfortable as possible with me before the wedding day so that on a day where emotions are running high you do not feel like you have a stranger there. When photographing a wedding I try to capture the essence of the couple; and how can you do that if you don’t know them?

As I end this blog I am just finishing the photoshop work on my site and am now on to the html portion. Wish me luck!

I look forward to many more posts – see ya on the other side!

Amanda
