Two Trees Planted With Every Package
Starting in 2022 when you book any package with Live Well Paint Often Inc. we will donate two trees to be planted. We believe: “Love is like a tree, it grows of its own accord, and puts down deep roots into our whole being.”
Imagining Your Big Reveal Moment
“This video truly embodies the deep why behind my business Live Well Paint Often Inc. The moment before I bring the happy couple over to see their finished painting, my heart races with excitement and I feel wave of chills wash over me. In a few minutes I get to show them 7-8 hours of purely intentional creative heart-centered work reflecting the beauty of who they are, and the love they have for one another! I put my heart and soul into each and every brushstroke and I’m so grateful I have the blessing to meet such amazing couples and capture their love story with my humble paintbrush.
Every painting I create not only reflects the reality of that moment, but - more importantly, the dream behind it.”
Everyone has wedding photos, but the live painting that Amanda crafted for us is beyond anything that a photographer could ever capture.
