Insights on Literature, etiquette, and Beauty from a Catholic wife and mom

I needed some photos for our website rebrand and release, and the first person I thought of was our dear friend and talented photographer, Amanda Gonzalez. Since moving to the DFW area, we are always on the lookout for unique spots to visit and explore, and Amanda picked an amazing spot, tucked away in the middle of high rises. It was a stunning location, one we hope to go back to soon to enjoy the gondolas on the canal, the restaurants, and the beautiful scenery. 

Amanda really does her research, and it pays off. This spot was gorgeous, with many different scenes to stage a variety of photos. From headshots to full length photos, Amanda captures the moment in such a beautiful way. Her guidance always brings out the best in each pose and photo. 

I highly recommend Amanda for your wedding, engagement, Christmas cards, or special event photography needs! She produces elegant and professional photos with a personal touch, capturing the heart of the moment so beautifully. 

You can look at her work HERE on her IG, and visit her website HERE

Look at these photos! Thank you, Amanda, for sharing your talent with us!
