New Year New Creations

Over the holidays I decided to try my hand at a different style of art. I have always been a huge fan of digital art, but really have never messed with it other than in my editing of my photographs. I wanted to challenge myself with new concepts for the New Year. These are a couple of the images I came up with. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

My latest creation

I was yet again honored to be invited to capture images of a training fire
in Oakboro, NC (photos to follow on a later date)
However I managed to capture a few images that I had to turn into an Artistic pieces.

I came Up with this image and then decided to add "The Fireman's Prayer"

This print is for sale in limited quantities so if you are interested please check out my Etsy site or email me directly
payne.diane@gmail.com

Other prints for sale can also be found on our website

Feature Friday

This photo was taken on Thanksgiving day when I was suppose to be taking pictures of the Parade. This Majestic Church caught my eye. I instantly started snapping off shots. This was the result. I decided to feature this one as a collage.

This Print is for sale on my Etsy site but as 4 5x7's for $45
However if you are interested in this particular print it can be done in an 8x10 for $25
price does not include shipping.

Just in time.....

So the Christmas Season is officially here!
I have been working really hard and have been extremely busy,
with shoots and keeping up with gift orders.
I recently created this Calendar for 2011 because
lately it seems I have doing a lot of shoots with the fire dept.
I must say I am very honored to have been asked to capture some
of the images that you will see in this Calendar. I wanted to
honor and pay respect to these men and women who put their lives on the
line everyday...
not just for us but for each other!
I have never seen a Band of Brotherhood quite like this.
If you know a fireman/woman and you want to honor them as well
Please be sure to place your order no later than Dec. 15th to ensure delivery in time
for Christmas.

As always thank you to all that support Amada Photography

May God Bless you and Keep you safe this Holiday Season!

So I have become that Mom :)

So for some reason I have gotten alot of attention with this photo of my 3 yr old.
I have been told to enter her in pageants...but honestly I think she would be too wild for that :)
I decided to just enter her in some kids photo contest. So if you would please show your support (if you think she's a cutie.... :)
then vote. I promise I won't become a stage mom....but I can't promise you won't get tired of looking at her
Just kidding ;)

Turning 40 tires you out!

So I officially have crossed over to the "other" side. I turned 40 last week. So I decided to give you a little glimpse into my birthday week. I was tuckered out by the time the week ended.

Me and Hubby

Yes, there were alot of candles on the cake...oh and JOKES yep heard them all that night!

Spent the entire day of my Birthday taking picture of Beautiful Charlotte, NC
and yes...that is my family being silly!

This day was spent at the Lazy 5 Ranch...it is a drive thru Petting Zoo of sorts.

This day was alot of fun and very much an honor for me. I was asked to photograph the Antique Fire Trucks for CFD

I spent the rest of my week editing photos and I am still not done.
This is just a glimpse of some of the shots I was able to get on my Week long Birthday!
