Hi, I'm amanda

Welcome to my story — mom to four awesome kiddos, wife to my best friend of eight wonderful years, and someone who’s been completely obsessed with cameras since I was big enough to hold one. Seriously, I’ve been chasing light and freezing moments since I was a little girl, always the one with a camera in hand, documenting everything from family holidays to backyard adventures.

My love for photography comes from a deeply personal place. When I was 13, I lost my older sister in a tragic car accident. She was only 18. One of the few things we have left of her are the senior portraits she took just weeks before — and those photos? They’re treasures. More recently, I lost my mom unexpectedly, which reminded me all over again just how fleeting life is and how powerful it is to have something to hold onto.

That’s what drives me.

Since officially launching my business in 2012, I’ve been on a mission to capture the real stuff — not just posed smiles, but the scrunched noses, belly laughs, quiet snuggles, and sparkly eyes. The honest, in-between magic that makes your family yours.

I also get that not every session looks the same, because not every family is the same — and that’s the best part. As a proud mama to two autistic boys, I bring extra patience, flexibility, and understanding to every session. I know what it’s like to navigate the world a little differently, and I’m here to make sure your family feels seen, celebrated, and completely comfortable.

So if you’re into photos that feel like real life (but a little extra magical), I’d love to connect. Let’s make something unforgettable together.
