About Amy

Hi! I'm Amy! Right off the bat...the most important things in life to me are my family (my handsome husband and three beautiful children), my Jesus and capturing our life in pictures.

I feel that photos are to be shared, they exist to evoke feelings and help friends and family bond even worlds apart. I love meeting new families, taking their pictures and being able to be apart of their memories for just a moment.

I strive to bring every part of me to a session, I'm loud but introverted, I'm fun but serious. I will hug you when I meet you and treat you like part of my family. A session with me is just simply about one thing and one thing only...YOU.

Please feel free to contact me using the Contact link above to inquire about a child or family photo session in the Sacramento, California area. I'm looking forward to it.

Week 36/52
sacramento child and family photographer

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

My Zachy is an interesting boy to say the least. He can melt my heart one second, and frustrate the heck out of me the next (probably like all 3 year old boys and their mamas!) I pray over him so much, he has such a call on his life, I can SEE his future, great things I tell you…that boy is going to do GREAT THINGS!! This is another photo that I will be able to look back at and know what I was trying to capture, even though others may not.

He loves seeing himself in my eyes. Specifically after time outs (yep!). After he’s been in the corner for a few minutes, we talk face to face, eye to eye. He practically always stops me (trying to make the moves on me!) and says “I can see in yo’ eyezz!” Meaning, he can see himself in my eyes. He thinks it is fascinating, and I think it is fascinating just witnessing him learn something new. I’ll catch him in the bathroom mirror making faces at himself, and the other day he proclaimed that we both have brown eyes (yay for learning his colors!!) He’s my baby, always, I hope he can always see himself in my eyes, for this photo, I’m in his.

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Welcome to the new and improved Amy Schuff Photography Blog. This blog started out 3 years ago just as a place for my family and friends to keep track of all the tons of pictures that I was starting to take as I discovered my love for photography. It has now molded into much more, but is still my personal place for pictures. I love the new look and I hope you do too! It’s been fun to put it together, (thanks to my husband and lots of online video tutorials!)

Don’t forget to subscribe by using the RSS button above. For those of you who don’t know how to use RSS…you’re not alone! I’m working on a different way to subscribe to the blog, but don’t know how successful I will be. We’ll see!

So leave me a comment and let me know how it looks! If you see any bugs…I’m still working on stuff and I hope to have it perfected soon. I know this thing isn’t completely finished, but it will be eventually! Let me know if you see any issues!

So here’s my first “new blog” post! My little Liliana…she just learned to walk this week!

Happy Birthday… & Week 35/52

Monday, February 16th, 2009

My baby girl turned 1 today. I keep getting a lot of “has it been a year already!?” from friends, etc. I am the most surprised out of all of us. This year flew by and I’m not that happy about it! I admit I’ve been emotional, thinking about the past year and how she’s my last baby and what it means for our family…and me as a mama. She’s just about walking now, and pretty soon the days of a crawling baby will be gone. I wish I could go back to my young mother self, when Abby was first born, I would tell myself, “Enjoy these days! They grow up so fast!” Lily’s been my indulged baby.  And I like it that way.

Remember last year at this time? I sure do! When I posted this photo I never thought what would happen in the days that followed. I actually am pretty fond of those days that I was overdue with Lily. This by far is my favorite one that I took, it is still on my fridge.  I seriously considered resorting to this…but was a wimp. My husband was a huge inspiration during those days, especially for this one…he deflated his basketball just for me. But finally, she decided it was time to make her appearance. It was true, she wouldn’t stay in my tummy for forever, although at times I thought she would. She arrived in a quick 3 hours and 17 minutes (I remember exactly when I went into hard labor because it was during an episode of LOST!!) I’m happy that is behind me now, and all I have to look forward to is my baby girl…learning to walk…or to use a spoon…or to be able to eat her food without having to cut it up into tiny pieces.

My two birthday loves one year ago…

and now…

Week 35/52 on her birthday

Week 34/52

Saturday, February 7th, 2009
I’ve felt uninspired all week. We’re dealing with whole family sickness here, as well as all the crap issues that come with buying a house!

Anyway, whenever I’m feeling uninspired when it comes to taking my week’s photo, (and this can be a tip for you out there as well doing this challenge with me) I just think of something insanely mundane. This week, feeding a bottle. Lily turns a year old next Sunday, and she is in no way ready to be weaned from a bottle. I wonder how many feedings we’ve had together? It’s just routine now, make a bottle, feed a bottle, repeat. But this kind of action I still want to document. I want to remember all the bottles and how little she was when she would drink from one. She’ll grow to be like Mommy one day with her Coke a day habit. Right now the most unhealthy thing to touch her lips is the dirt she ate out of Grammy’s potted plant last night :) So here we are…doing our thing.
