Almost There… (Updated!)

Sunday, August 9, 2009 Posted in Hollywood Beach, Maternity Portraits, People, Portraits

Okay, okay, I KNOW I’ve been saying no more beach shoots and that we’re on strike but, how can you miss out when you have something SO good as this? Trisha is celebrating the last few days before the arrival of her second son, and she was joined by her husband Avi and son Aaron to a secret little spot I like to go to near Hollywood Beach. We’re wishing Trisha and her family a HAPPY CONGRATULATIONS to her newest addition, and a special thanks to letting us be a part of this life changing time!

Update: Thanks to everyone who’s left comments for Trisha and family, I’m SURE they appreciate. And if you would be interested in a great photo shoot for yourself please don’t hesitate to contact us for your own great shoot! Also, click the link to the left to view or purchase ALL of the great images from their shoot. Enjoy!

WOW! I love this site I really love high quality pictures and it’s quite amazing how a pregnant woman post naturally as if she’s not carrying anything in her tummy…

Wait! You Went Where…? (Update)

Friday, August 7, 2009 Posted in Fort Lauderdale, Portraits, Things, Trash The Dress, Wedding

So not to beat a dead horse, but yet again I took another opportunity to take a fun client on an amazing shoot that could have very easily been at the beach. But again, I am totally against that right now! You may ask, “Meir, did something traumatic happen to you at a beach recently or in your past?” “Did it have something to do with small children throwing sand buckets or other obnoxious behavior?” “Do you just have a terrible aversion towards seeing snowbirds in swim suits two sizes too small?” I say to these questions, Nay! It’s just that when you look over the expanse of our work and the work of others, it’s just sooooo easy to just head to the beach. And after a while it gets booooooring, and we do NOT want to be bored or become a staple of complacency around these parts. So with that in mind, I bring to you a photo shoot that I had the pleasure of shooting this week with a client whom I can call a friend, Amanda. Where did we go? No place you would ever find yourself without really having to be there first! But I think the results speak for themselves. Most importantly we had a GREAT time. Thanks Amanda!!!

ATTD-0070 ATTD-0247 ATTD-0093 ATTD-0265 ATTD-0139 ATTD-0032 ATTD-0013

Update: I hope everyone’s been enjoying the sneak peek at this great session that we had! Now, no more teasing, you can see the rest of them by clicking the link to the right. Enjoy!!!

Just amazing photography! This is a completely out of the ordinary backdrop and the photos look like they should be in a magazine. Very impressive!

AmandaAugust 7, 2009 - 9:21 pm

Hey! This was so much fun!! And mostly because of you! So excited to see the results, you are an AWESOME photographer. Anytime you want to try a fun shoot like this, I’m down…and next time I’ll bring the “glasses”!

Amanda

HowardAugust 7, 2009 - 9:34 pm

How did you get a bride to let her wedding dress near a train? That is the real talent in these.

Kricia MorrisAugust 7, 2009 - 9:50 pm

I 100% agree with you Meir! Sometimes you just have to look beyond the sand! You did a fabulous job (as always) and you produced absolutely beautiful portraits! Amazing my dear!

LoriAugust 8, 2009 - 9:00 am

Thank you Meir for allowing me to join in this fun day and for these amazing photos! Amanda’s Mom

NoelleAugust 8, 2009 - 10:30 am

Wow, Meir, the site was perfect….rugged and beautiful! you and amanda produced really artistic and fun pictures!! great work!

Vic HurlbertAugust 9, 2009 - 1:35 pm

Great pictures. I feel sad that I never bought my niece a toy train. The pictures really captured her spirit.

Thank you.

LYNNE BAMBERAugust 9, 2009 - 3:39 pm

Awesome photo shoot. So non traditional. Great

Donna O'NeilAugust 9, 2009 - 8:47 pm

Stunning! -What a hoot -a trash the dress shoot. I’d like to dig my dress out of the closet and do the same. (If only that dress still fit)
Amanda-You look fabulous.
Michael Anthony-Your work is fantastic.

Terry WhiteAugust 9, 2009 - 8:57 pm

great photography. Amanda is an excellant subject to photo. you were very impressive in capturing her wonderful smile and radiance. this is the first time I have seen a rusty railroad car look so eloquent.

Peggy HurlbertAugust 10, 2009 - 8:29 am

great photos…you can sense the fun and love of life

DeniseAugust 10, 2009 - 8:42 am

Wonderful shoot…but then it can’t be anything but, with such a gorgeous subject! Very creative and whimsical! Love it!

Denise MullAugust 10, 2009 - 9:04 am

The pictures were great….could be in any top notch photo magazine. Amanda, you look beautiful. They are all so good but my favorite is the very last one where you’re in flight! Great!

joshAugust 10, 2009 - 9:26 am

awesome amanda!

derrickAugust 10, 2009 - 9:27 am

These are great photos! Amanda, you’re a super model!

PaulaAugust 10, 2009 - 9:28 am

Some photographers have a special talent for capturing a person’s spirit and inner beauty…you definitely have the gift. Of course, having a beautiful, sassy young woman to photograph probably makes your job a little easier and a lot more fun!

richardAugust 10, 2009 - 9:39 am

What a beautiful lady.

Heidi ParrishAugust 10, 2009 - 9:39 am

Amanda’s photos are amazing! They should be published!

Veronica DiVecchioAugust 10, 2009 - 9:51 am

I hadn’t heard of a “trash the dress” trend but the photos make it look like it would be tons of fun. My favorite is the jumping up shot with the train in the background. Very unexpected. Amanda’s inner and outer beauty shines through in every shot.

Fran SolomonAugust 10, 2009 - 10:00 am

WOW! Great pictures – looks like both the photographer and the beautiful model had alot of fun doing these pictures!

Jonathon JateffAugust 10, 2009 - 10:08 am

i love all the photos great look with the train and i like the jump shot at the end

Tim JacksonAugust 10, 2009 - 10:11 am

great photos like the theme trash the dress and didnt know some one jump that high in a wedding dress

Constance DarlingAugust 10, 2009 - 10:19 am

these are AMAZING!!! you look so beautiful! like the sneakers with the dress

John CableAugust 10, 2009 - 10:58 am

I liked these shots. They somehow managed to portray a very “unposed” type feeling to the emotional content of each shot. More some than others, of course, but overall I liked the “vibe” of these.

Pam CrottyAugust 10, 2009 - 11:23 am

You look marvelous!!!! Pam and Diane

BobbiAugust 10, 2009 - 11:34 am

Awsome pics…great artist and beautiful girl (looks like Mom)

Donna GordonAugust 10, 2009 - 11:42 am

Great pictures. I love the tennis shoes. Pure class on you.

LarryAugust 10, 2009 - 12:41 pm

The mix of old train and new train (wedding dress ) is great.

shawnAugust 10, 2009 - 1:34 pm

great work…really liked the juxtaposition of glamour and drop dead beauty set against the industrial backdrop…who is the rebecca de mornay look-alike model? what a knockout!

diyanAugust 10, 2009 - 2:14 pm

What a beautiful job and it certainly dosen’t hurt that the model (that we all know and love) is stunningly gorgeous.

NancyAugust 10, 2009 - 3:04 pm

Great contrast with the old train. Amanda is aboslutely beautiful. These pictures look like they are right out of a magazine. Love them!

Paul (Dad)August 10, 2009 - 5:43 pm

Don’t I have a beautiful daughter??

GaryAugust 10, 2009 - 6:57 pm

Looking absolutely gorgeous! Very creative photography.
Really showing the family resemblance in the pic with the parasol Amanda!

DebbieAugust 10, 2009 - 7:10 pm

Beautiful pictures! Especially love the absolutely joyous expression in the one with your tennis shoes!!

Amy ScawthornAugust 10, 2009 - 8:41 pm

Awesome photography…and Amanda should take up modeling.

Robyn TaylorAugust 10, 2009 - 11:45 pm

love it! My favorites are pics 3&4

Jim HurlbertAugust 11, 2009 - 1:54 am

So many great pictures–hard to choose a fave but I think I’ll go for #5 !! An incredibly photogenic young lady and some great props made for a terrific photo shoot

Karen LittlefieldAugust 11, 2009 - 6:28 am

FABULOUS!!!!!!!!
Tell me again…why are you a nurse and not a
professional model????????

Jon JittlefieldAugust 11, 2009 - 7:08 am

Beautiful!

al hohlsteinAugust 11, 2009 - 7:28 am

hot! hot! hot!

Jennifer SullivanAugust 11, 2009 - 8:07 am

Wow ~ They are amazing – spectacular even! The suitcase pic needs to be in a magazine. Very fitting for this “rolling stone” that will never likely go without traveling for very long. Amanda you look killer! I love them!

Maggie fallonAugust 11, 2009 - 8:33 am

A prettier bride than amanda… Rubbage!

Keely cocoAugust 11, 2009 - 8:38 am

Love the pics! Beautiful and trashy bride- what a combo! Haha

Ryan cocoAugust 11, 2009 - 8:42 am

Very cool!

Dina RileyAugust 11, 2009 - 9:08 am

Great pictures Amanda! Looked like alot of fun too….

TracyAugust 11, 2009 - 10:32 am

These are the most awsome pics I have ever seen, next to my own pics in Hawaii!! The location is as unique as it’s subject. Amanda is absolutely beautiful. WAY TO GO.

ERICAAugust 11, 2009 - 10:50 am

Great pictures! Poor dress!

Tom DavidsonAugust 11, 2009 - 2:38 pm

What a unique shoot. Looks like you had a lot of fun. Industrial heavy metal next to a real beauty. I could see this shoot on America’s Next Top Model.

Tom D.

PamAugust 11, 2009 - 5:13 pm

What a beautiful bride!

TCAugust 11, 2009 - 5:16 pm

Faye CostelloAugust 11, 2009 - 5:56 pm

Christine KaysAugust 11, 2009 - 7:14 pm

The background added great colors. These are beautiful pictures, Amanda.

Ron YehAugust 11, 2009 - 8:06 pm

Wow Amanda!!!
You really went into the wrong profession, you know, a supermodel could afford to hire all the nurses in the ER for 10 years for one of their paychecks. Please reconsider your profession.
You look gorgeous!
Ron

Tracy DavisAugust 12, 2009 - 10:45 am

WOW!! Amanda, you look amazing…so beautiful!

AndreaAugust 12, 2009 - 3:20 pm

The pictures look beautiful, Honey. I Love You!

AllanAugust 14, 2009 - 11:48 am

So if I become a train engineer, does it come with a girl like this? I’ll be looking into that today. Very nice, but I think Ill be voting for the set called “a guy and his guitar” Just kidding.

ChantaAugust 14, 2009 - 9:17 pm

i love this girl…she’s so beautiful!

rachelAugust 14, 2009 - 9:20 pm

KEBINAugust 17, 2009 - 8:23 am

NICE PHOTOS, THEY’RE VERY FUN AND OUT OF THE ORDINARY. I think there should be a dress trashing part 2.

ralph bellmanAugust 17, 2009 - 2:06 pm

I think this is the neatest thing I ever saw for a wedding, old train cars. That is really different. I like the entire idea. Really unique!

revaAugust 17, 2009 - 2:13 pm

Fabulous, absolutely fabulous. What a backdrop. Amanda you are beautiful. What a great tradition to start. Trash the dress. We love you.

MikeAugust 17, 2009 - 2:16 pm

Amanda, Reva’s brother here. .
What a great thought. You make the perfect model for this and how beautiful and fun you make it.
Great job you little “Island Girl”!!!

Awesome Contest with Awesome Sauce!

Tuesday, July 28, 2009 Posted in Contests, Event

So by now I’m pretty sure that a certain video from YouTube has been made popular enough so that most of you guys have seen it. If not, it’s definetely worth a look…I’ll give you a minute…

So it got us to thinking, why don’t MORE of our clients do something this neat to be talked about for years to come? And then we figured it out, all you guys need is a little encouragement. So with that, we decided to put together our first of many, AWESOMEST CONTEST EVER! So here is the challenge.

Do something outstandingly creative! Be it your grand entrance, your first dance, a special candle lighting ceremony or any different take on any traditional happenings on during your event. We will capture it, and post it here, on our blog, for all of your friends and family to see and vote on. At the end of the contest the person with the winning votes gets $1000 in reprint credits FREE from us. $500 goes to our second place winner, and $250 to the third plus some special prizes to honorable mentions as well.

So what do you do from here? First, think of a plan. Second, make it an AWESOME plan. Third, tell us about it so that we’re in the know and prepared (don’t worry, we won’t tell). And fourth, show it off!

The contest will run till February 28th for events, but that’s NO time to wait! Start your great ideas now! And if you need inspiration here’s a little something from one of our more exciting clients from December of this past year! for official contest rules, email me. meir@michaelanthonyphoto.com

Let’s make it Happen!

It’s always great to get to see the fruits of your labor all come together from an event. Here is a small sample of such from Rebecca and Roni’s wedding back on June 28th. I hope you guys enjoy it!
