Location and Time

Vanessa Underwood Photography - Studio Location

1004 SW 7th AVE Amarillo, TX 79101

You will receive an email a few days before your session with a reminder of the date and time of your session.

Vanessa Underwood Photography and Cody's Auto Spa, Detailing share space. Feel free to park next to Cody's Auto Spa Sign. You might already know Cody is my partner and husband if you read about me.

No worries, we have our workspace entirely separated. So once you're in the studio, you won't even notice that there is a detail shop a few steps away.

I am excited to have you visit our studio for your upcoming photography session. To ensure that you can easily find us, here are some important instructions:

  • Parking: When you arrive at the studio, you will notice the Cody's Auto Spa sign pictured above. You are in the right place! Please park your vehicle near this sign.

  • Studio Entrance: Our studio is located on the south side of the building. Once you have parked, please make your way toward the west until you spot the door see the picture for reference. (Next to the entrance door, you will notice a mailbox with the address 1004. This confirms that you have reached the correct place.) This door enters into the studio.

  • Entering the Studio: No need to knock or wait for further instructions. Simply walk in once you have located the designated entrance. I will be ready to welcome you and assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

I hope that these directions help you in finding our studio easily. My goal is to provide a stress-free, warm, and comfortable environment for your photography experience. If you have any additional questions about our location or anything else, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to capturing beautiful memories together!

Please arrive 5 minutes before your session time. Doing so will allow us to chat and give you some minutes to lounge and acclimate to the new environment. If you are like me, it takes a minute to be comfortable in a new space.

LENGTH OF SESSION

I am an overshoot and love my job, which causes me to get lost in the moment. No worries, I’m dedicated to providing a great experience. Even though I tend to get caught up in the moment, my mini-sessions are typically 10 Minutes.

WHAT TO WEAR

This topic is fun because I want you to be comfortable. The most important rule is to go for complimentary colors and avoid matching colors. This will help balance out the photograph. Typically I ask expecting mothers to wear a long flowing dress. They are so beautiful to capture and flattering to all body types. If a dress differs from your style, feel free to wear an article of clothing that speaks to who you are. Wear something that helps you feel comfortable and confident. If you can, I will ask you to sit for some poses, and there will be poses with your back turned so keep that in mind when picking out your outfits.

Please feel free to find the right shoe and wear anything that fits and is comfortable. I prefer doing studio sessions without shoes or dark colored shoe that isn’t distracting. Instead of finding the perfect shoe, pamper yourself with a pedicure. Trust me. I know the struggle of finding cute, comfortable shoes.

This link will help you with what not to wear to a session.

For this mini-session, I would avoid wearing dark green and dark colors. Feel free to dress up or wear comfortable pajamas.

YOUR CHILDREN 

To get the most out of your session, I ask the children to be well-rested and go to the bathroom before arrival. To help children with the session give them a heads up and let them know a friend will be taking some pictures of them. Lastly, it is my goal to capture children in their natural state so I will not force your little one to smile.

For your convenience, we have.
