Amanda Forbes Photographer Blog
Hello! I am Amanda, a photographer based out of beautiful Colorado. I have always loved a good story especially when it's filled with emotion. As a photographer, I am fortunate to tell the stories of complete strangers who are full of life.  I am able to tell their story as it happens with my camera, and in the end those who started out as strangers become friends.

This blog is designed to tell stories of love, life, laughter and the moments in between.

Earlier this year I met up with Nicole for coffee.  Nicole is a wedding planner (BH Bridal Bliss, check her out! ) in Denver so we met up to discuss business... well we didn't really chat business. Nicole was super cute, funny and talented.  We chatted for what seemed like hours and got lost in telling stories. I was seriously shocked at how much I had in common with her! As we spilled our life stories, she told me about her awesome long time boyfriend. We joked about ways to get her boyfriend to pop the questions and how we don't need boys! When we left the coffee shop that day, we left as friends.

A few weeks later Nicole contacted me staying this " I'm engaged!! Seriously engaged!! Will you be our photographer!?" I was thrilled for her and did a little happy dance for my friend! Thank you Roman, you made Nicole one happy girl!

Enjoy their Denver engagement session complete with their latest edition: Kiki!

Have you ever met a couple where you feel like you have known them forever? When I met Leanne and Alex, I immediately connected with them. I felt their love, passion and thirst for life. They felt like long time friends and I love this about them.

Rarely in life do you meet people as kind, calm, beautiful and loving as them. Leanne and Alex were a true pleasure and I am still smiling thinking about them.

And now....Their engagement session in Boulder Colorado

Meet my niece Cora! Isn't she just the cutest thing?! Cora decided to enter the world one week earlier than scheduled. I received a phone call early in the morning from my father in-law saying my sister in-law was going in for a check up. She had been a bit uncomfortable but nothing out of the ordinary.  About a half hour later I received another call stating this: " Mary's having the baby!!! She is 7cm and is going to the hospital!!" I quickly woke my husband, packed our suitcase and we set off for the 21 hour drive. An hour into our drive Cora entered the world!

Cora is full of personality, smile and dimples! We absolutely adore her!
