I have always been a point and shoot person, mainly on my iPhone. Last week, I purchased a Nikon…read moreD7100 on a whim, and was immediately paralyzed by all the features. I did a Google search and found Leslie Wilkes Photography. About three days later, I was in his one-on-one training session, learning more than I even thought possible for a four hour beginner's class. I now know how to use my camera and tips and tricks for taking great photos. I even received a binder of the course content, so not to forget anything. Leslie's class was well worth the time and money and I plan to take additional courses in the future.

About a month ago, I decided to take a chance on a dream of mine, which is to start the process of…read morebecoming a great photographer. I spent some time doing research on what camera I felt would fit me best along with researching photography basics such as aperture, shutter speed, lighting, editing, and ISO. Then I paid a pretty penny for a pretty neat DSLR Nikon. I spent more time trying to get comfortable with my camera and just getting a feel for the settings, buttons, and shooting with it. I took some decent images out in the park and around town. But I felt I could definitely use an in-person one-on-one tutorial on both my camera and photography basics/ best practices. Finding Leslie was truly the best thing that could have happened in my photography journey so far. It was super easy to pay and schedule a session with him online via his website. His communication prior to our meeting was super responsive, and let me tell you, I learned more in our 4 hour one-on-one than I did in the ENTIRE month on my own since I've had my camera. He was down to earth, easy to talk with, super encouraging, and his knowledge of photography is unmatched. His photography work also matches his knowledge, and it was refreshing to know that he still actively shoots as well. He even put together a workbook too that he goes over with you and you can take home as well. I love to read and study, so I really appreciated that. I'm a beginner, but I'm sure I will be contacting Leslie many times in the future for more advanced sessions as my photography and editing skills improve.

I have found my dream photographer!! I'm pregnant and had the most magical session with Amy. Not…read moreonly did she make me feel powerful, she brought out my inner goddess. Her energy makes anyone feel seen and known. I have the most magical photos from our shoot that are anything but pastel/basic. That's just not my jam. She knew what I wanted from an artistic point of view and BROUGHT it full force. They are seriously some of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen, while authentic and raw at the same time. I can't wait to shoot with her again after my son arrives!!

So, somehow I find a beautiful girl that agrees to marry me....hard part over, right? WRONG!!!…read more After contemplating a traditional wedding that involves parents, guests, caterers, lots of money, and even more fighting, we decide, what the hell, let's just elope!! At the last moment. Perfect....what do we need....minister....check.....car and driver....check....photographer....let me defer to the soon to be wife on that one! So, wife to be does her research and gets good ground level intel and gives Amy at And How! a call. She saw her work and heard great things about her. Wednesday is the wedding day...and she was calling on MONDAY. (I wasn't lying when I said it was at the last moment). Even though Amy had a shoot booked for that day, she so kindly rearranged things a little and, BAM, we got ourselves a photographer. Wife to be had several ideas of locations, shots, and even examples of what she wanted. Amy loved all of that and there was a lot of back and forth between the two to come up with some great locations. On the big day, Amy was right on time and ready to go. We had a blast with her as we drove to a bunch of different locations throughout Nashville. She had some great ideas, and between her and my wife, we really ended up with a ton of amazing pictures. Honestly, after seeing what my wife wanted to duplicate and seeing what Amy actually shot, I thought that Amy's work was better time and time again. Amy was great to work with and actually made the entire process a lot of fun...which is no small task with me. I loved her and her creativity and the way she worked. Thanks Amy!!
