"Amanda!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE them so much. I don't even know how I will pick a new hero image. I'm excited to be able to change out images now and then. So we have fall and winter covered. Next up I will tackle spring and summer. LOVE. Can't thank you enough. Thank you so much."

Most photographers only show up with a camera.
I show up with a vision and a plan.
When we work together, you get more than just beautiful photos you get imagery that attracts the right clients faster, because the right visuals create immediate trust. You get a visual brand that feels both strategic and soul-aligned, not a collection of random pictures you have to force into your marketing.
​
You gain the ability to raise your prices and reposition your brand with confidence, because high-end imagery naturally commands high-end value.
You'll experience a comfortable, guided process even if you normally hate being on camera.​
There’s no guesswork, no awkward posing, no "what do I do with my hands?" moments. Every step is led with clear, gentle direction.​
​
​You receive full creative direction that protects and strengthens your brand vision, ensuring your visuals are consistent across every platform your website, your social media, your print materials, your media kits. Your brand will look as strong, clear, and trustworthy as the business you’re creating.
​
Most importantly, you’ll be seen not just as a business owner, but as the creative, dynamic, one-of-a-kind person behind the brand. Your story matters here. And it will show through every frame.
Amanda has in depth knowledge of personal branding and coaches you every step of the way, from session prep to implementing your branding imagery after the session. The value of the imagery she provides is priceless!

Branding Is More Than A Headshot & Logo.
If you’ve ever thought a great logo and a few updated photos were your brand—this one’s for you. I’m sharing what brand photography really means, why it’s more than just pretty pictures, and how strategic imagery can shift how your clients see you (and how you show up for them).
Your story matters here.
This Is Where Your Story Begins
When the noise of the world pulls you away from who you are, photography can bring you back.
Not with forced perfection, but with stillness, story, and the kind of presence that feels real.
This work is built for brands, for creatives, and for women stepping fully into who they are.
It is not about staging a version of success. It is about capturing the strength, beauty, and spirit already present even in the messy, meaningful moments most people miss.
​
Here, you are not asked to perform. You are invited to show up as yourself. Because that is where real connection and true growth begins.
These are so beautiful I could cry! Thank you so much for your hard work getting these photos done. They are AMAZING!
