Fellow photographer and friend, Amanda Pair, requested that I take photos of her with the people she loves the most… her family. She purchased a gift certificate with me for her family last Christmas. She was so excited to finally cash it in! I met them on The Bradley Farm. (Thank you Mr. Bradley for always being so generous in allowing me use your beautiful property!)
Although it was extremely hot and humid, no one complained. Not once. They were all smiles and once again I was reminded why I love my job so much! It’s not always the “photography” itself, but it’s the people in the photos that make it so enjoyable. I walked away from this session feeling like a part of the family. Amanda, thank you for trusting me to capture these special moments for you. I hope you cherish your photos for a life time.
Meet the family of Amanda Pair.
This is Amanda’s mother, Deb, and her husband, Allen.
This is Matt, Amanda’s one and only sibling. They are just precious together! (They remind me of my own two children… in 20 years!)
Matt is so proud of his little sis and they share a great friendship!
Amanda with her hubby, Allen.
You know, this photo reminds me of one of my all time favorite children books, “Love You Forever” by Robert Munsch. I have read this book to my children over and over through out the years. When I see this photo of Matt with his mother all I can think is…
“I’ll love you forever,
I’ll like you for always,
As long as I’m living
my baby you’ll be.”
Meet Doug, Amanda’s father.
I noticed something in this photo. Amanda looks like a young girl here. Probably the way her father still sees her and always will, as his little girl.
Doug with his wife, Shelia.
I absolutely love the mischevious grin from these two here!
In the life of a photographer, You are so busy documenting the lives of others that you seldom take the time to document your own. I’m pretty sure that Allen and Amanda haven’t had a significant amount of time in front of the camera together since their wedding day. I know they will appreciate these photos.
I love these last two photos the most. Allen and Amanda are a great couple and I think these two photos represent just that. I love how Amanda is holding on to Allen’s arm in both photos. In the photo to the left it is very clear that they are both very confidant and and comfortable with one another. In the photo to the right, it is very evident that Allen is smitten with his wife and not only is she aware of it, but she loves him for it.
These are AMAZING! I love the feel of them so much. I would kill to have family photos like this. . .well not really, but you know what I mean. Great job!
Beautiful photos of a beautiful family! I love them all and am so glad the photographer (Amanda) was able to get in front of the lens for a while!

Wynter, these are amazing! I LOVE the one of Amanda w/her dad and brother..priceless:) You always do such a beautiful job and I know Amanda will cherish these photos for years to come.
This is one of the sweetest families in the whole wide world and I love that they all came together to do this for Amanda. Great, Wonderful, Awesome, Beautiful photos! BTW, Mr. Doug could possibly tear up over these.
Wynter, You really captured all of the best of this awesome family! they all look so natural and I know these pics will be cherished forever!
Wynter – these photos of Amanda’s family are really cute. The one of Allen picking her up in a kiss is so fun! I met Amanda when I helped you photograph Jill’s wedding and I remember thinking she was so cute – and I think she just got alot cuter (if that’s even possible) in these pics! I want some family photos now!!
Helloooo Gorgeous!!! Wynter you are stunning! Love Love Love your blog! Just stopping by after visiting Amanda’s blog. You have done such a wonderful job capturing such wonderful moments of them all. Adorable!!!! I think I teared up a little especially of the one with her and her father. This tugs at my heart as I no longer have my father. It’s always precious to be able to stop time and cherish these moments forever!!! Great job girl!! Amanda is a doll! I met her at Melissa Jill’s Workshop and I wanted to put her in my pocket and take her home. You really brought out her personality. Love it.
These are really great Wynter! You really captured Amanda’s families personalities. Plus Amanda is just so darn cute!!
These look great!! I love how you captured Amanda!! Beautiful work.
love, love, love the pics!
Pictures are great….maybe it is because you have great “models”. Allen and Amanda are very special to my family and I love seeing them on the other side of the camera. Who knew they were so photogenic? Great pictures! I love your blog! By the way, I am Maggie’s mom and Amanda shot our middle daughter’s wedding 2 weeks ago.
Wynter, Thanks so much for our lovely pictures.We had a great time.
wow. love them… i specifically love the ones of allen and amanda, especially because i have been bugging her about it for so long!!!
Thanks Wynter for the great pics. It was a great time hanging out with everyone. I have never seent the Morgans smile that much before?? Good job!
I love these pictures! You truly captured the love and happiness in this family. Amanda and her family will treasure them forever!
oh… my sweet family. These are so great! I adore the ones of amanda and allen. They are so cute. Great job!
Even with the heat and humidity, sweat and frizzy hair, the time we spent with you that day was a blast… I never knew we could have so much fun in front of a camera. You made us feel so comfortable just being ourselves that the camera was almost invisable. (I’m amazed and impressed that you were able to catch Matt, Doug, and Allen W. smiling!) I love, love, love the photos and am excited to see all the others. This was the best Christmas gift EVER!
Hi Wynter, you have no idea who I am but Amanda took my sisters wedding pictures a couple of weeks back and I am also married to Luke McDonald. I became familiar with your work through Luke and Amanda and just love all the pictures you take. Amanda’s family photos could not be any better. I love them all. Even though I really do love the one of her and her brother. You are such a great photographer. Sorry for being so random I just have been enjoying your work for months and wanted to let you know. Can’t wait to see more : )
Ahhhh..Amanda, your family is awesome here!!! These are wonderful photos Wynter!
Amanda, you are seriously the SMILEYEST (I soo just made up that word) girl I’ve ever seen photographed! I love it!
Great shots Wynter! Looks like Amanda has an awesome, close-knit family
Especially love the ones of Amanda and Allen for exactly the reasons you mentioned!
OH MY GOSH! Wynter, I think I’m gonna cry. These are ALL so great. I love every single one of them, really. I don’t even know what to say… I think I need to process and revisit
This means the world to me. Thank you.
