Amy || portraits, chicago illinois portrait photographer

There is this wonderfully sweet girl I know. Her name is Amy. 

I so loved taking pictures of her beautiful self. 

Amy was in Africa this summer working with Amani ya Juu, an organization that employs women in Africa who earn money to live and raise their families. Amani ya Juu means "peace from above". Amani's mission is so beautiful. To see some of Amani's clothes, accessories, and kitchen products you can 

visit the Amani ya Juu blog or the Amani ya Juu website. 

Bringing God's love and hope to the women in Africa is the beautiful mission of Amani ya Juu. I'm sure Amy had a wonderful experience while being with Amani. I can't wait to see her and hear all about her adventures! Maybe she will bring me some of their wonderful coffee... :)

Love,

Stephanie
