number 9! I’m a sucker for sandy feet! They are all great.
I really do think they are all beautiful, but I am voting for number 8!
Wow! I like them all, but I am voting for number 1. I happened to see this picture posted in a dentist office along with photo cards from other patients, and had to ask about this photo. Beautiful!
I vote 10, but love them all. Amy, you have a true talent (and really wonderful subjects). I am in awe. Love Ya!
Of course I love #9 but I’m voting for #7. Sheer Joy!
My vote is for #9! All the pictures are great, but this one jumped out at me. Amy, great work.
#7 gets my vote
I am going with the grownups in #10. I love the colors! They are all great though! All of your photos are winners!
It was very hard to choose because they are all wonderful! My vote goes to #5. I love it!
I vote for the sandy feet. While they are all great . . .the #9 feet photo displays a black and white image with great features. It also highlights a different element of photography b/c the ’08 image was in color.
Running a close 2nd would be #1. .it has great color!
Such a difficult decision! #9 my favorite & #7 my husband’s. As always, they are all terrific. Your sensitivity & detail are reflected in each photo. Great work!
I dont know how you narrowed it to ten! love #1–stunning blue eyes and beautiful colors, but #7 is amazing–you got the perfect shot! You always capture “the spirit” of each subject so well. It’s #7 for me.
i love the subjects in number 11 but i am voting for number 9. happy new year!
Difficult decision since they are all great but my vote is #10.
Gotta go with my bright colored #3. Love your view on #9 – reminds me of you did with the Croc shot! Thank you for all you do!
My vote is for #5 but I also LOVE #1!
As always, I like all of your photos!!
Love, love, love number 9!!!
#3…Gorgeous! I love the bright pop of color on the sandy beach in the wintertime. Timeless!
I love those sandy feet! I’m going with #9! Thanks Amy for everything this year! We look forward to our next session!
I have to vote for #1, the colors are beautiful in #3, but #1 is precious!
#1 because she is my little princess!!!
#12 is my vote. This will always be one of my all time favorite photographs. You have a fabulous way of capturing a childs spirit! All of your work is special. I am so glad we found you- Lynn
My vote is for #7…I love this picture.
I love the picture that Amy made of my boy (#3), but I have to give the winning vote to #7. Amelia Maner’s picture is incredible!
I vote for # 3…love the vivid colors and great smile! They were all beautiful Amy…you’re so talented!
I’ve got to say #1 is a picture of an angel ….Wow, what a shot!
I vote #1 .it captures every thing sweet about a baby!
#1! She is so adorable! That blonde hair and those big blue eyes are the Rose traits!
Love #7; that’s a shot that can’t be recreated!
They’re all beautiful. I’m partial to #7
I vote for number 1!!
I have to vote for the “Elfin Magic” in #1. It’s too cute.
This is tough, but seeing that beautiful boy running carefree makes me so happy! #8 for me!
my vote is #1 so adorable!!!
#1 says it all!
They are all fabulous – choosing #7 – what fun! All could be published Amy! Love the sweetie in one.
#9!
I love #7. What a cutie!
#9 all the way. The tilted horizon and iconic pose immediately grab your attention, but beyond that there are many subtle qualities (like the contrast in focus) that hold it. I think it’s strong enough to be used in your promotional materials. It would make a great billboard!
Hard decision to make, but I think #1 is my choice. They are all great photos !
I love #5 – the shot is so sweet!
I adore # 8! Charming, and bids good-by to 2008! Of course they all are superb and beautiful but, in the enterest of disclosure, HE is my GRANDSON. G.G.
I vote for #7 because she has that cute little mischievous look like our youngest, and I love the background. They are all great, what beautiful people!
#1 is precious. That little face is too adorable!!!
#9 gets my vote. The composition is great, and focusing on the girl’s sandy feet is a wonderful way to capture a day at the beach!
#8 is my FAVORITE! #9 is a close second!
They are all amazing.
#8. Total bliss. All are great!
I vote for #8. What a great shot!
#1 has my vote! She’s absolutely adorable 🙂
What a perfect picture!
#1 thats daddys girl
I love # 7. She makes me want to get up and dance. They are all fabulous!!!
It was a difficult decision, they are all great, but if I had to pick it would be number 1! The eyes have it, pure sweetness!!
So hard to choose! #7 gets my vote, with #9 and #1 close behind. Your work is amazing!
#1 What a beautiful baby!
of course number 5 is the best! and i’m not just saying that because she’s my daughter!
I love all of your pictures, #12 and #7 are too sweet ( both are beautiful). I was torn between #5 (I am a sucker for a pouty little girl), however #1 just jumps out at me. The colors and precious little angel call for being put in picture frames across the land.
You are truly talented!
