Hey. I’m Amanda!
I'm on a mission to freeze moments of love, joy, and pure emotion through the lens of my camera. With a heart full of sentimentality and a passion for creating bold and vibrant imagery, I consider it a privilege to document the stories of couples and families in the most beautiful and authentic way possible.
Behind the camera, I'm not your typical photographer—I'm a bit of a nerd at heart that also has a deep-seeded love of sports and all things true crime!
I firmly believe that every love story is unique and deserves to be told with vivid colors, genuine emotions, and a sprinkle of magic. From the quiet whispers to the bursts of laughter, I aim to capture the essence of your connection in a way that reflects your personalities and the love you share.
Beyond the lens, you'll find me spending time with my family, attending or teaching a kickboxing class at my local gym, or immersed in a baseball game or the latest Marvel movie. But when I'm behind the camera, I'm dedicated to ensuring your moments are preserved with an artistic flair and a touch of my nerdy enthusiasm.
Let's embark on this creative journey together and craft imagery that not only tells your story but also celebrates your quirks, your passions, and the beautiful bonds that bring you together. Get ready for a fun-filled and memorable experience because, with me, your photography session won't just be about capturing moments—it'll be an adventure!
I can't wait to meet you and begin this exciting visual storytelling journey.
XO,
Amanda
