Hold on to your hats, ladies and gentleman. I am absolutely thrilled to share these images with all of you. (And I need to apologize in advance for the excessive exclamation points and adjectives like “amazing” and “fabulous”. My vocabulary is way too limited to express how I really feel about these captures!)
This gorgeousness is Amanda Vickers, the amazing voice of Amanda Vickers & Cumberland Basin, a fabulous local band known for performing a fun mix of jazz standards, blues, and western swing. When Amanda contacted me about shooting some photos for their upcoming website, my first reaction was utter and abject fear. ME? Seriously? Then she began to talk with me about her vision for a 1940’s-inspired urban shoot and my brain began to whirl and I knew that we were going to make a GREAT team! And speaking of team, Amanda had two stylists that worked with her and I can say from firsthand experience that these girls are AMAZING. I’ll tell you everything you need to know about them, and about the band, at the end of the post – but for now…let’s get right to the vintage G L A M, shall we? Awww, yeah….
Can you even stand it? I think we should all stop, take a moment and say a collective prayer for Geof, Amanda’s darling husband, who is most likely either hyperventilating or passed out right now.
And if he wasn’t then, he most certainly is now!
I really can not take it.
And for me, the real kicker:
,
I really have no words for how awesome it was working with Amanda and her stylists Audry & Alana. We had such a blast wandering around looking for unexpected spots to stop and get sassy! Amanda knew exactly what she wanted and she came ready to make it happen. It was just like on So You Think You Can Dance when the judges say a performer left his or her heart on the dance floor. {That’s usually the point where I am weeping uncontrollably.} Amanda absolutely left her heart on the streets of downtown Nashville. And just look at her results!
I can not recommend Amanda Vickers & Cumberland Basin enough. Amanda’s voice is angelic and she performs with some of the BEST musicians in Nashville. If you are interested in booking your next company party, anniversary party, fund raiser or birthday bash, run – don’t walk – to your computer and contact Amanda for rates and more information at amanda.vickers@cmt.com . Don’t forget that holiday parties will be here before you know it!
And those fabulous stylists I mentioned earlier? I also can not recommend them highly enough. They both have beautiful artistic vision, and it was a true pleasure working with both of them. I’m pretty sure we could put together a really sweet package for anyone (individual, couple or family) interested in booking a shoot and stylists. It’s like having your very own little entourage of fabulous, and who wouldn’t want that, right? You can contact Alana & Audry for rates or to set up a consultation here:

Audry Moody – Wardrobe / Makeup

You thought I was done? Are you kidding? Around here, the goodness never stops! I’ll have lots more Amanda coming up soon. Our little team got together again for some casuals of the lovely Miss A. You won’t want to miss it. And next up – a sweet, sweet family with beautiful twin girls who are very dear to my heart! Thanks for checking in, everyone. It humbles me!
