I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years!  I know I sure did.  It went by so fast!  I’ve spent all night tonight reflecting on 2009 and thinking about what I want to achieve for 2010.  I thought it would be appropriate to make a post with some of my fav images of 2009 (a select few from end of 08 because I never did a post of them).  Basically my business has completely taken off for me in 2009.  I didn’t really truly start it until the end of 2008 and it has just exploded!  I love every minute of it!  I have some great things in mind for 2010 so stay tuned!  Here are some of my fav. images.  It was very very hard to choose and I still chose WAY too many!  So, this post is going to be super long but hopefully worth it!

I also want to remind everyone of my free session Christmas giveaway!  You have until the end of Jan. to enter.  Please see previous post for details!

What kind of mommy would I be if I didn’t start this post off with my own beautiful babies.   My inspiration and my initial reason for picking up my own pro camera. <3

If you have visited my site before you will have noticed a lot has changed.  Not only has my business name changed from Frozen Memories Photography by Amanda (a mouthful, right?) to Amanda Basteen Photography; I now have a new website to go with it!

My blog is now my main page and it’s a new blog too!  How’s that for confusing?  I decided to make this change for a number of reasons.  One of the main reasons being so people can get to know me AND my work.  I still have my old site, which is going to be just my portfolio site.  I can assume that most people didn’t look at my blog much before and I actually end up putting more photos on that than I do the portfolio site.  It lets you get a sense of who I am, my style and what I do! 

So, I hope you enjoy my new way of doing things.  I think it will work out nicely this way.  Who knows, there may be a change in my porfolio site coming soon..we’ll have to see!

Tomorrow I have about 3 sessions I need to post, so stay tuned!

I have decided to change my business name from Frozen Memories Photography By Amanda to Amanda Basteen Photography. I’m the same photographer and have the same style, just a different (easier) name! My old website address will still take you to my website. My new domains are www.AmandaBasteen.com and www.AmandaBasteenPhotography.com, both will lead you to my website. It is the same website as before!

My e-mail has also changed. It is now AmandaBasteenPhoto@hotmail.com. If you happen to e-mail my old one, that’s ok. I will still check it and keep up on it for a long time. I hope you like my new business name and logo! Tell everyone you know!

Also, tell me if you find something that I forgot to change!
