  "I have followed Amanda for years now, first seeing her photos on DeviantArt and then found her when I joined Flickr myself. I have always been amazed by the beautiful photos she takes and her baby/child photography always seems to brighten up my day with the wonderful creative ideas that are captured. It's very cool to see how her work has changed and grown and to see her own children grow up [not to sound creepy] through her work.
  I am so inspired by her photos, they're just beautiful. =]"

  "Amanda was one of the first photographers that I met on flickr, and she is by far still one of my most favorite. Her photos have such a unique style and charm...nobody can photograph a child quite like her. She is also one of the most down to earth people that you will ever meet."

  "Amanda is so multi-talented! I absolutely love and am in awe of her photography. She is extremely talented, plus her child photography has a fairytale, magical style I adore. I love the settings and props she uses, and her very gorgeous and cute models.
  Her actions have been my long time favourite actions as well."

  "I don't know anyone who photographs children like Amanda, or even half as well as she does. She has such imagination for setting the scene, placing the children in a story of her own creation, yet allowing the special character of each of those little ones to shine. An artist, an inspiration, a generous friend. I'm glad I know her :)"

She has a way of capturing raw emotion like no one I've ever seen... Amanda, you are a great inspiration & thank you for sharing your work with all of us! :o)"

  "Amanda is inspiration incarnate. Her style is so distinctive and fresh, and she has been my idol since the day I first saw her gallery - some three or four years ago. I honestly don't know if I would, or could, have come so far if it hadn't been for her setting the bar so high. Thank you so much, my dear Manda! I am simultaneously proud and flattered to call you a friend."

  "Amanda's photography transports me to another world, another era. A time where girls dance in pretty summer dresses all year long and pick wildflowers in sprawling meadows. Her antique textures evoke a nostalgia for the time of Theodore Roosevelt, the old world of Scandinavia and Queen Victoria's reign. Her work is simply beautiful, and Amanda is too. She is incredibly sweet and kind and one of the loveliest photographers I know."

BREATHTAKING :D You, girl, have born to do this, and you do it really well. Thank you so much for let me see/comment your photos. It's just a pleasure."

  amanda keeys is one of the most talented photographers i've met on the net. her photos have a distinct style, each one is a treasure. she's not afraid to let her creativity flow, and that's what i admire most about amanda. her work inspires me every time i see it. talent like hers comes from within, it's natural, it's just there. in a word, her childrens portraiture is, well, lovely."

  "Amanda's work has been an inspiration to me from day one. I spent hours to go through her galleries, i soaked up every piece of advice she's given and I read her blog religiously. I don't know much about her, but every now and then I get the chance to talk to her online and all I can say is that she is such a lovely person.
  
  Her work is inspiring, fresh, addictive and beyond beautiful. She captures beautiful moments and after seeing so many photos of her own beautiful children I kinda feel like a part of her family ;)
  
  I wish her all the best - many successful years to come! Stay creative my dear!"

  "I remember when I first saw Amanda's work.....I about fell out of my chair...no kidding! I spent hours upon hours just looking through her stuff. By the end, I had made up my mind that I wanted to do this. I knew I couldn't create what she creates but just looking at her work, it inspired me to try. =)
  
  She is my all-time favorite photographer...even though I go through stages of different looks and stuff, she is my one constant. She has got a whimsical magical look that I just oooooohhh and awwweee over.
  
  And she's one of the nicest person you'll ever meet....that's the icing on the cake for me. I'm not sure if she knows this, but I call her my mentor....I learned so much from her from her images and through chatting. She is absolutely an AMAZING photo and person. =)"

  Sue Anna Joe says:

  "Manda is probably one of the very first photographers that inspired me when I first picked up my camera and started shooting. I'd say she was the queen of self-portraits. Then she had babies, and she became the queen of child portraitures. We had our share of conversations, in fact she was nice enough to comment one of my photos as I specifically requested critic from here, and I still remember Manda featuring one of my photos in her journal. Thank you so much huns. She's a great supporter, a great friend, a wonderful mother who photographs her children beautifully. She's definitely gonna be a reference when I start shooting children of my own someday. And I still owe you that batik cloth! (I accidentally deleted my testimonial to you, so here I am re-testimonialing)"

  I've seen her progress so much for the last few years and still continue to.
  Every photo is treasured and loved and this comes across in her work and also her attitude.
  A very professional and mature photographer.
  I'll always be in awe of you amanda!"

  "Amanda is another one of my flickr favorites... Her photos are so stunning. Each one different in their own way, but still keeping with her style. They are so moody and so deep. I love going through her stream; I don't think there's enough words to describe how great of photographer she is!!!"

  "Amanda rocks! I've been watching her work for over four years now, and as a result, seen her children grow up through photos. It's an honor to have the pleasure of doing so. If her instant celebrity on DeviantArt and Flickr are not enough testament to her unfailing skill for the art of photography, then nothing is. I always look forward to new works from Amanda, she has even been a source of inspiration for me. I can't say much else other than rock on! ^_^"

  "Whether it be light hearted or dark art, one thing about Amandas work is that it will be truely unique.
  She has a fresh eye for photography envied by many and with her inspirational and soulful work, Amanda is an artist who really deserves to get to the top..!"

  {NADIA} says:

  "Amanda is such a unique children's photographer. She makes you feel her images way down deep into your very soul. Her black and whites move me like no one else's can. I feel such great emotion from her work. And as an artist, that's what you want....you want others to "feel" your work. She is a superior artist in my opinion and has soooo much talent that cannot be duplicated.
  
  Although I absolutely adore her work, I think the thing I adore most about Amanda is that she takes the time to comment on my work. It means so much to me to have a well-known photographer take time out of her very busy day (she has four kids) to comment on my work and the work of others. This means more to me than words can say. I really appreciate Amanda's kind words.
  
  A true inspiration she is!"

  "Can you believe that girl´s only 24 years old, one of the BESTEST photographer out there and the SWEETEST mother to her 4 GORGEOUS kiddos??? That´s only 3 things that make me be in awe of her and love her so much ♥
  There´s not one single image that doesn´t represent Amanda in all her incredibility, awesomeness, love and talent. She´s on FIRE, believe me - and there´s absolutely nothing to stop her (lucky for us LOL). There´s so much talent and passion in her and she just always finds the perfect way to put that into her pictures and make others drool over them :)
  I´m beyond happy she´s here and sharing all this with us - THANKS so much, Amanda *hugs tight*"

  "Amanda is a light source within my world, and I'm sure so many others feel the same way. I adore her ability to create deeply emotional portraiture while simultaneously being fun and spontaneous. Easily and without a DOUBT, Amanda produces some of the most amazing portraiture I have ever seen, but even more than that, she is one of the most inspirational people I have ever met. :)"

  "Oh my laud, Amanda is not your everyday child portrait artist for sure! Amandas work is so inspiring and fresh, kewl yet sweet, I just adore it. Her photos are one-of-a-kind, her eye hence compositions and conversions awesome. You can see she can imagine the childs' world, or the child in her is still very much alive. Thank you so much for sharing and stimulating Amanda, you've made me look at things differently - which feels SO good. Really awesome work!!"

  "Amanda is one of those photographers that I've been awed by since she first came on the scene a few years ago! My photog friends and I would call each other and say "did you see Amanda's latest..."! Her children's photography is breathtaking and leaves you feeling "why didn't I think of that!". She's so original, so inspirational...and to top it all off so NICE! No ego here...just a wonderful artist who has only just begun to show the world what she's all about! When Amanda's famous, I'll be telling my friends that I knew her on Flickr :)"

  "i first noticed kittynn's work on deviantart, where i was immediately amazed... and i was very happy to find her flickr account, seeing that she posts here much more.
  children are so hard to photograph. she is one of the best children photographer's i have ever seen. the way she captures their pure innocence, their personalities, and life's precious moments is incredible. i love the natural and unposed look of all her photos, something not many portrait photographers can achieve.
  she is also always fresh with new, creative ideas. i'm always amazed and blown away.
  i love photographing children... she is an inspiration to me and i look forward to seeing more of her work."

  "I have known kittynn for quite some time now. I became familiar with her work through deviantART.
  
  Hands-down! She is by far the greatest photographer when it comes to children's portraiture. If I had children I would be getting on a plane to go to Australia to have her photograph my children. It would truly be worth the trip! She really captures the personality of the children that she photographs and that is what makes her children’s portraiture so special. I work at a children’s portrait studio and I know first-hand how challenging it is to work with young children. But she is a pro at this!
  
  I am also adore her self-portraiture work. She’s a gorgeous girl and really conveys her true self in her photos.
  
  I also envy her for her family and all the wonderful, adorable children that she has. She’s got it made!
  
  All-around kittynn is fabulous!!! I have lots of love and respect for her."

  "I don' think Amanda needs testimonials. Her work so clearly speaks well of her. But I can't help but testify because I am so so so glad I found her. There is storytelling, candid gorgeousness, always a celebration of children and also a nod to the essential profundity of children. Ans she sure knows how to work those lovely captures with gorgeous variations on rich tones."

  Her style is so uniquely her own, and when you think she can't get any better, she does!
  Every image she creates is a true work of art, and her love for her children shines though in her creations.
  Amanda is such an inspiration as a photographer, as well as an asset to the online photography community, no matter how spectacular she is, she always has the time to help people out.
  Amanda is true photography royalty!"

Although she has a lot of groupies she still takes the time to make a comment on my stuff which helps me taking the camera out of its bag again."
