Welcome !!


You have landed in The Pond. We are Amanda & Nate Reynolds, a husband/wife team (the kind that actually enjoys working together :) Turtle Pond Photography is where we work. Well, if you can call having a blast, doing what you love and meeting great people WORK, then this is definitely work. We are so blessed to do what we love. Shooting weddings is so much fun and we are honored each time we are part of a bride and groom's special day. Actually, it's quite humbling to be asked to be there on the biggest day of their life. Amanda also loves to photograph kids. Shooting in their own environment it really brings out the best in them.

Enough about us, we are so excited that you have stopped by. Look around, stay a while and enjoy!! You will be able to check out our favorite shots, meet some of our clients, view slideshows and proofs, and some other great stuff along the way. Check back often and 'leave some love' or send us an e-mail (feedback). It would be great to meet you.

Amanda & Nate

Make-A-Wish


The annual fundraiser for Indiana chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation was this week and was hosted by Indianapolis Colt's tight end Dallas Clark. Make-A-Wish grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions in order to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. It was such a treat for us to capture the event.







Tommy Krcmaric, pictured here with Peyton and Dallas, was the evening's honorary Make-A-Wish child.




I bet this little guy won't forget this photo.




Rupert from survivor lore stopped in for the night.




Hunter Smith offered up the blessing.






Reggie Wayne was kind enough to help out.




This little guy was part of the auction. Even though Bryan Fletcher had the winning bid, I think 'Snickers' won Dallas' heart.








Nate couldn't resist a shot with Dallas. Thanks so much, we appreciate what you do.

Tag, we're it!!


Well, our friends over at www.bobbiandmike.com have tagged us. Their names are Mike and Bobbi but not necessarily in that order :p

Now it's our turn :)

Because we were tagged, we have to share 8 quirky facts about ourselves and then tag 8 other photographers. Here we go...


* Amanda has the same birthday as her sister Amy, but 3 years apart.
* We are Vizsla owners. (I'm gonna make you google it ;)
* Amanda trained with Jaycie Phelps , 1996 Olympic gold medal gymnast.
* Nate is a recovering CPA and loves a fine Chianti. Seriously.
* Amanda studied art in Florence, Italy .
* We both love fried zucchini.
* Nate enjoys cutting firewood to heat our house with.
* Amanda has the uncanny but not unheard of trifecta : left-handed, drives a VW and love Macs .



Consider yourselves "IT" :

Jessica Strickland - Our very own wedding photographer :) Thanks a million Jess!
John Fleck - You have to check out this guy. He will have a calendar at Barnes & Noble this year.
TimCo - There are no words but maybe some fajitas.
Carp & Mel - Our newest best friends ;)
The Image is Found - We have followed these guys since we first started up. INCREDIBLE!!!
Brandy & Sticky - We just met these two and we love them already!
Kimberly Michelle - This girl has helped us out in more ways than she knows :) Thanks Kimba!
Amy DeYoung - Amanda's long lost sister - we miss you girl!
Jasmine Star - The sweetest, kindest most beautiful (besides Amanda ;) photographer you will ever meet.


(yes, we know that was 9, we don't always play by the rules ;)

One light workshop


Wow!!! Nate and I had the pleasure of hosting Zack Arias and his One Light Workshop at our home on Wednesday. We had about 30 photographers in our home learning about the wonderful world of light. Zack does an amazing job with this and it was so great to get to know him a little. I learned so much and am so excited to start to apply it. It was also great to meet some new photographers from around the midwest and build some great relationships. A big thanks to Zack and everyone who came. We also want to apologize to all of you who I've been neglecting because our lives have been so hectic these last couple of weeks.

Check out these amazing shots and lighting Zack set up for us.....

OSP Indy


We just finished a photographer's conference here in Indy called OSP. It was a great crowd and we made a bunch of new friends. OSP is a forum of photogs that really want to help each other out. We have been members for about a year and have learned a ton. We have periodic get-to-gethers but mostly just laugh and go out for Mexican :)

Ok, It's here!!!!!! (drumroll please)...... 2-4-1


Turtle Pond's first ever 2 for 1 sale!!!!!!

Ok, now calm down - quit shoving.... there is plenty or everybody :)

We wanted to help everyone out with Christmas so we are announcing a sale. We are offering 2-for-1 on any print purchase. You don’t have to do anything special – just place an order and it will be doubled. For example, if you order 3 different 8x10’s, you will receive two prints of each one. Or if you order 4 copies of a single image, you will receive 8. Your cart won’t show the 2-for-1, we will simply double your order when printing. The sale will starts now and runs thru Monday the 11th. Any order placed during the sale will be delivered before Christmas. Pass the sale on to all of your family and friends – it applies to everyone’s order. Just let us know if you have any questions.

Merry Christmas,

Nate & Amanda
