Hello!
I'm Amanda Richardson
I am the founder of Amanda Loren Studios, located in Charlotte, NC. I used to be a chef but soon found I was most passionate about the art of food photography and seeing businesses succeed.
We are on a mission to get rid of all the 'stock' photos in your library! By leveraging my background in the culinary world, I sit with commercial brand leaders and their creative teams to develop purposeful and strategic imagery that elevates your online presence and tell your stories.

WE WANT TO WORK WITH YOU
Because
You and your creative team value strategic partnerships.
You view purposeful and authentic visuals as an asset, not a commodity.
You value expert perspectives from those who specialize in what they do.
You do want a partner who views themself as part of your team and values your successes every step of the way.
You do not want a photographer "who just shows up with a camera".
