New Name!

Amays Photography has now become Maxine May Photography

"Family means putting your arms around each other and being there."

My beautiful sister-in-law and her gorgeous family. I have so much fun hanging out with these nephews, they crack me up with their sense of humor and you just want to hug the stuffin' out of them. Too sweet!

Memories

Today my second son graduated from high school. I know everyone says it... but I have to say it anyway, it goes by so fast! It seems like yesterday that he started pre-school and now I'm watching him walk to "Pomp and Circumstance" wearing his cap and gown. This boy has filled my life with so much joy and happiness and I just wish I could go back and live it all over again. I love you Brody Wayne May! God has such a great plan for your life.

Congratulations Moriah!

Congratulations to Moriah Sloan who graduates from Centennial High today. Moriah, God has such great plans for you and your future. I'm so excited to see all that you've accomplished and all you will accomplish in your future. You are beautiful, smart and just a lovely person. God Bless You!

Adorable Boys

What a wonderful day it was when these two adorable 17 month old twins came to visit us and play with the bunnies. Lots of scootin' and scamperin' going on, but beautiful portraits to remember this day by.

Seniors in Austin

Had the most wonderful opportunity to photograph some seniors in Austin Texas, thankfully before the snow. Beautiful people, beautiful locations.

Congratulations!

To the winner of our free 16x20 give-away at the Baby Daily's "Mommies Tell All" event. Such a gorgeous family to photograph.

Beautiful Family

Fall is so beautiful here in Boise. It's one of my favorite times to photograph families. It's even better when I get to photograph a beautiful family as well. These children were the most well behaved children I have ever met. They are sweet, funny and were very patient. Even their dog was well behaved! Fantastic session.

Jacklyn the Beautiful!

From a Good Home

I come from a good home. I have two sisters who are selfless and beautiful inside and out, and I have parents who are godly, patient and full of wisdom. My family encourages me when I'm frustrated, they pray for me when I'm down and laugh along with me in our many, many, good times. I never want to take them for granted, our times together are short and precious. They have all set the example that I want to follow and pass on to my children. That is a precious legacy and I love that I have beautiful portraits of all of them to mark this legacy with. Love your families in their perfect and un-perfectness, it is so worth it.

Happy Birthday Amaris!

Today is my niece's second birthday. She is the sweetest and most lovable little girl in the world. This summer we had a blast with her, laughing, playing, dressing up like fairy princess', and getting to know each other better. The best part about being an auntie is that I get to teach her things like how to act like a lady. As you can see by the last two images, I've had a wonderful influence on her. I love you Amaris and I miss your sweet hugs and kisses. Hope you have a wonderful birthday!

My gorgeous step-daughter

Summertime always takes us up north to our "Home and Native Land," Canada, to visit our families. Spending time with my gorgeous 24 year old step-daughter is always a highlight of our trip. This year I was privileged to capture these beautiful portraits of Kristina with her dog, Molly, along with some updated family and sibling portraits. I am so blessed to have Kristi in my life and I love her dearly.
