Hey there! I’m Amanda

Your new fav photographer

I got my first DSLR camera in 2018 and the rest was history. There’s nothing I love more than spending time with rad humans and making them feel like their most confident selves from behind the camera!

More About Me

“Amanda was amazing to work with! From the start she was easy to communicate with and she helped coordinate meet ups to go over what we wanted and make sure we were on the same page. We met in person three times, one of which was at our venue in Tahoe, and stayed in touch with texts and emails in between. On our wedding day Amanda was so much fun to work with, making everyone laugh and feel comfortable. She captured our vision perfectly, keeping things fun and low key. We got our sample album in less than a week and the full album in less than a month! The pictures turned out great and captured the day and our memories perfectly. We’d recommend Amanda again and again (and we did for our best friends’ wedding!).”

“I had such a great experience with Amanda. I came in with a vision and she was able to create exactly what I was going for, while also putting her own personal touch to our session. Her energy is amazing, she makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and she is very knowledgable about her craft—it shows in the finished results.”

Delaney Graham
“Amanda knew exactly what we were looking for. We wanted some outdoors shots with the fall colors and the trees, but the forecast changed to an all day downpour. Amanda already had a change of location in mind, and communicated the updated vision upfront. She had an area reserved and let us know we could still include our dog which was really important. We both felt immediately at ease during the process and had so much trust in Amanda. We were smiling and laughing throughout, and I feel like that comfort and enjoyment during the shoot was beautifully displayed in the end result. The most difficult part of the process has been trying to narrow down our favorites. We had an amazing time and would recommend Amanda over and over again.”

“Working with Amanda for my branding photos was the best photography experience I have EVER had. I could feel her excitement about capturing my brand authentically right alongside mine, which made me even *more* excited and giddy throughout the entire session. Her energy is truly magnetic and I couldn't help but feel like my most confident self with her behind the camera. That's the best part about Amanda as your photographer - she cares. She not only cares about capturing your best angles and the best light, but also about you as a human overall, about your comfort level, your energy and your vision. I left our session buzzing with excitement. The gallery I received was such an incredible showcasing of me and my brand to its core and I will be using them for years to come!”
