If you guessed that the CMA's were on the night before our shoot with Amanda based on the "country-esque" feel of this shoot, then you get a gold star! I love achieving goals, and one of my goals for my last trip out to LA was to shoot Amanda. I saw her layout in the last issue of Remix magazine and knew I had to shoot her. Her red hair and freckles, combined with my new found affinity for country music, and a secret lake we discovered off Mulholland drive, all added up to a story that had to be shot. 2012 is all about setting new goals. I'll check back here late next year to see if I won that Grammy for "Best New Country Artist", now all I need to do is learn how to sing and play the guitar, piece of cake.
