Pronounced: Ah-mah-rahn-tine
A lot of people ask me why I came up with the name “Amarantine Photography”. I prayed and thought a lot about what I want my photographs to represent. The word “amarantine” is taken from ancient Greek and means eternally beautiful and unfading; everlasting or immortal (the same as the amaranth flower-an imaginary flower that never fades). The flower is a deep purple-r
ed; purple representing royalty and red energy and love. I wanted my photography to show people how special and loved they are. My goal is to take pictures of people for who they ARE, not what photoshop tells them they can be. Although, yes, I will do touch-ups and enhance my photos, I want them to be as real as if they came straight out of the camera. I want to capture not just outer beauty, but the heart. I want my subject's inner beauty to shine through in every single picture I take. During each session, I want to educate people as to how they can hold themselves in pictures; thus, giving them more confidence than when they walked onto whatever set I have put together.
