"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.

Top 3 Questions I Get Asked About Living Apart From My Husband

What’s it really like to navigate a long-distance marriage? I’m sharing a personal look at our story, from Craig’s move to Qatar, to the way we stay connected across time zones—and all the unexpected questions we get along the way. Spoiler: love doesn’t always follow a traditional timeline… and that’s okay.

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).

This Is Where Your Story Begins

Photography should feel like joy, like laughter spilling out, colors that pop, and moments that remind you life is worth celebrating.

​

For couples, it means honoring the love you’ve built in every season. For brands, it means creating imagery that feels as alive and dynamic as your story.

​

It’s not about stiff perfection. It’s about energy, connection, and those little details that make your story unforgettable.

​

Ready to bring your story to life? Let’s connect and start planning something unforgettable!

These are so beautiful I could cry! Thank you so much for your hard work getting these photos done. They are AMAZING!
