Q & A With Amy Lauten

Here is another little cutie I have photographed since she was a newborn. I have really enjoyed getting to know their family!

NAME: Amy Lauten

FAMILY MEMBERS: Brian, our daughter Charlotte (23 months) and our dog Major.

OCCUPATION: Attorney

THE LAST TIME MY CHILD MADE ME LAUGH WAS: when I rolled my eyes at her while she was playing in the bathtub and she immediately imitated me by rolling her eyes at me. Hilarious!

I REALIZED I HAVE TURNED INTO MY MOTHER WHEN...my daughter misbehaves and I start counting out loud to her before I take action.

THE GADGET THAT SAVES ME THE MOST TIME IS...my blackberry.

MY FAVORITE PLACE TO SHOP FOR KIDS CLOTHING IS...BeBe Grande. They have the best clothes! My daughter's entire closet is from there!

WHAT SURPRISES ME THE MOST ABOUT PARENTING IS...how much of it comes naturally.

MY FAVORITE RAINY DAY ACTIVITY TO DO WITH CHILDREN IS... Little Gym or the playround at Chic-fil-A

A FAVORITE TRADITION I SHARE WITH MY CHILDREN IS...on the night before Easter we gather the family together and dye Easter eggs and write funny nicknames we have for each other on the eggs. Then in the morning, my husband and I hide the eggs and Charlotte gets to hunt for them. Her favorite thing is to drop the eggs in her basket and when they crack scream, "uh oh!"

WHAT I WANT MY CHILDREN TO LEARN ABOUT LIFE...to find true happiness in family and friends and not in possessions.

THE INVENTION I WOULD CREATE TO MAKE MY LIFE EASIER... a diaper changer.

IF I HAD AN ENTIRE DAY ALONE WITH NO RESPONSIBILITIES, I WOULD...float in the swimming pool drinking margaritas and reading gossip magazines.

THE MOST FUN THING ABOUT BEING A MOM IS...being able to be silly without having to worry what other people think. Getting a laugh out of my daughter when I act silly is the best feeling in the world!

THE LAST BOOK I READ FOR MYSELF...I can't remember it has been so long!

I HOPE MY KIDS INHERIT...my husband's ability to mimic people. He is incredibly talented at imitating others. It always gets a laugh!

THREE THINGS MY KIDS HAVE TAUGHT ME...Patience, patience, patience!!!

WHAT I WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT BEING A PARENT BEFORE I BECAME ONE...how much happiness a child can bring to your life!

THE BEST THIING MY SPOUSE DOES FOR ME TO MAKE MY LIFE EASIER: is give incredible foot rubs! Not to mention that he is a wonderful provider so that I can stay home with our daughter!

I just love the pictures on your web, they are just as they should be, real, innocent and just graceful. I am so impressed with Andie's ability to make my eight month old feel comfortable and easy about taking the photos. I have a feeling this will be a long term commitment to Andy Hamilton Photography. Thank you again.

Eu adorei as imagens no site e no blog. Todas as fotos sao puras, inocentes e realmente lindas, como devem ser. Eu estou muito impressionada com a habilidade da fotografa em tirar fotos tao lindas e de fazer minha nene de oito meses se sentir confortavel. Voltaremos a utilizar Andie Hamilton Photography nos proximos anos. Obrigada novamente.
