Hello, I'm Amanda.

Photographer - MOM - Keeper of memories

I’ve never been very good at doing anything halfway.

I feel things deeply. I romanticize ordinary days. I save photographs, old things, little pieces of the past, and anything that carries a story. I notice the things other people sometimes overlook—the way someone looks at the person they love, a child’s expression when they don’t know anyone is watching, the little in-between moments that somehow end up meaning the most. And maybe that’s why photography has always felt so natural to me.

For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of stepping into people’s lives with a camera in my hands. I’ve photographed growing families, babies, seniors, milestones, celebrations, and all of the wonderfully imperfect moments in between. I don’t want your photographs to look like a trend. I want them to look like you.

I love photographs that feel real. The actual color of your daughter’s dress. The way your son’s hair fell across his forehead. The laugh that happened between the poses. The grandparents’ hands. The messy little moments you didn’t think were worth photographing. Because someday, those may be the photographs you treasure most. My editing style is natural, timeless, and true to life. I want you to look at your images years from now and still recognize the people, the place, and the feeling of that season of your life. And I don’t believe in rushing through a session just to check the box. I want to give you the moments—the big ones, the small ones, and all the ones you didn’t even realize were happening. I photograph people the way I hope to remember the people I love. Honestly, that’s what this has always been about for me. Not just taking pictures.

Remembering.

And giving you something tangible to hold onto when the little people aren’t so little anymore, when the house is quieter, when everyone has gone in different directions, and you would give almost anything to step back into that particular day for just a minute.

That’s the gift I think photographs can give us.

And it is an absolute honor to be the person behind the camera.
