Hello, I am
Amanda
I’m a portrait - lifestyle photographer, mother, and heart-led creative.
Hi! I'm Amanda a lifestyle photographer based out of Washington state. I could give you the long story about how I fell in love with photography - well more the act of taking photos since I was a young girl who was given an izone camera from her grandpa but ill save that for another day.
If you're looking for a photographer who feels like you're just hanging out with an old friend then I'm your gal. I am passionate about capturing connection. I want your images to evoke the feeling of nostalgia that you can relive over and over again.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Amanda twice now for my maternity photos, and both experiences were absolutely wonderful. She has an incredible gift for capturing the most beautiful, natural moments — ones I’ll treasure forever. What I love most is how she instantly makes you feel comfortable and at ease, like you’re just hanging out with a friend who happens to have a camera. Her calm energy, attention to detail, and genuine passion for her work truly shine through in every photo. I can’t recommend her enough!

Amanda has done a couple sessions for us that included our young children & she works SO WELL with them! She never fails to get them out of their shell & makes taking photos such a breeze — she always finds a way to capture the moment beautifully and doesn’t put pressure on perfect posing. Her photography style is truly timeless!

Amanda is our all time favorite photographer. We have 3 young kids and she manages the chaos sooo well, captures every single split second moment, and makes everything look so candidly perfect. Even with a husband who doesn’t love being in front of the camera, she makes it such a comfortable and welcoming experience. She’s captured some of my most favorite moments with my family that I will cherish forever

let's tell
Around here we focus on you being seen. I hope to capture belonging, intimacy, and openness. My intention is that every image is meant to feel like a memory not a manufactured moment.
