Heading out to Harper Jane’s Twelve month portrait session I couldn’t help but feel amazed at how quickly her first year has flown by.
She has grown up right before my eyes.

Arts in Action!
March 23rd, 2010Event: Arts in Action
Location: Frank Porter Graham Elementary Chapel Hill, NC
website: http://www.ncartsinaction.org/
March 4th was a big day for me. It was my first ABP session since my sweet Lila Byrd was born. I was excited, nervous (about leaving my little byrd), and honestly not sure how it would feel to be “back”. Well if you guys know me you know that I think God always knows exactly what he is doing and he planned for my first session back to be with my Arts in Action family. I realized I have been photographing this awesome non profit for four years now. (Thanks Lisa Kang and Lisa Van Deman!). This non profit brings happiness, dance, and the excitement of learning new things to our schools and our kids. As I said it was the perfect session back…

a little byrd of our very own
February 22nd, 2010“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop to look around once in a while you could miss it.”
― Matthew Broderick as Ferris Buller, “Ferris Buller’s Day Off”
Who doesn’t love Ferris Buller and his wisdom? I have to admit I have followed this quote quite well lately. Where have I been, having the time of my life with a little byrd of my very own. Lillian Colette Byrd, Lila, was born about a week early on December 29th. She decided she wanted to be here to ring in the New Year with us! Since the 29th I have been working hard and learning each day the most important role I have ever had, being a mother. In my work as a photographer I closely work and watch mothers and their children and have always been so amazed at the relationship between the two. Even being a part of so many families lives and special moments-nothing truly prepared me for this adventure of being someone else’s mom. So friends this is the view from my ABP office lately…Lila in her sling as I try to get work done.
Harper Jane Vick-Three, Six, and Nine Month Sessions!
December 21st, 2009Hello and Happy Holidays Everyone!
Sorry I have not blogged in so long but it has been non stop here at ABP trying to wrap up all my 2009 sessions and holiday orders so I can get ready for Baby Byrds arrival! Hooray! I hope you guys have enjoyed this wonderful holiday season and taken the time to relax and enjoy it all!
Over the next few weeks I hope to catch you guys up on some fun ABP sessions that I have not blogged about yet. Harper Jane Vick is a fantastic way for me to start. Photographing her and documenting how fast she is growing has brought me so much joy this year. She is pretty wonderful and makes the late night editing so much fun when I see her little smiles. ABP has photographed Miss Harper Jane every three months since her birth. You may remember her Newborn session.
Check out how much she had grown at our Three Month Session!

A Thanksgiving Like No Other!
November 20th, 2009As many of you know Tom and I are high school sweethearts. We have grown up together and have been there for each other through it all. The challenges of high school, applying to college, the crazy late nights and life in college, stepping into our first careers, getting married, me changing careers and pursuing the joys and pains of starting my own business, you name it.
You might remember our Christmas card from last year.
Hunter Privette
November 6th, 2009One of the things I love most about my job is watching my kids and families grow! It is amazing to me how much we all change in such short periods of time-especially the kids! I first had the pleasure of shooting Hunter last year. Check out some images from our 2008 session!

October 27th, 2009Today I am allowing myself to do something I love-back blogging. I have so many wonderful sessions that I have not blogged about yet! So this morning I said I would take a second to blog about two really special people and the beautiful morning we got to spend together.
Meet Kelly and Ian!

Kelly and Ian have the kind of love that makes you go wow! Ian lived in England and Kelly lived here in Raleigh. A little long distance could not keep them apart! Kelly asked Amber Byrd Photography to capture some images early one Friday morning before they were on their way downtown to be married!!!
The colors, the sun, their excitement… it all came together in a way that was just perfect. Click on the thumbnails to make the images full size!

Kelly and Ian are now living in England as adorable newlyweds! Thanks for inviting me to be apart of such a very special morning for you both. We all miss you here in NC and hope the sun and love always shines on you no matter where you are– like it did that special morning you became husband and wife!
Congratulations Mike and Karin!
October 15th, 2009This weekend a very special couple got married. I was lucky enough to do engagement pictures for Mike and Karin earlier in the year. Check out this awesome couple.

Mike and Karin are so laid back and so much fun! They brought their two beautiful dogs to our session and wanted to capture an image of them with both dogs for a Save the Date Magnet I did for them! Here is the image they picked for their magnet.

Congratulations Mike and Karin! I could not be happier for you both. Thanks for inviting Amber Byrd Photography to capture this special time for you all.
Max Batchelor-A Three Month Session
October 8th, 2009As I traveled to Summerfield to meet my new friend Max for his three month session I kept thinking back to how long I have truly known his mom Sallie. Sallie and I went to pre-school together and played and dreamed about one day being real mommies, and now here it is 2009 and I am getting the chance to photograph and document this special time in her life. How quickly time passes and how vivid such long ago memories can be is really amazing…
So you can imagine how excited I was to meet this special little man!
