Experience
Working with Amanda
You’re thinking about how you want to capture these memories. Whether your family, your business, or just yourself. Maybe you want to have something to turn in your hands once the dust settles. To pass on to family, to have on your wall, to tack onto a love letter. Or to promote yourself. No matter what you're wanting-that’s where I step in. Committed to capturing unique stories, adventures, and the everyday. Book me, and I’m all in. Down for the ride, up for a dance, and here for it all!

FAQ
How many pictures will we receive?
You will receive a gallery of images ranging anywhere from 20-75 pictures depending on your chosen session (number excludes weddings). You will receive a code to download your designated number but have the option to purchase more digital images and/or prints directly through your gallery. They are delivered via email and can be downloaded to your preferred device.
How should I dress for my session?
How should I dress for my session?
The best route is usually to go with something that’s tried and true. Comfort is key! Stray away from bright and very busy clothes. Something you know moves with you and hugs you in all the right places. Don’t get me wrong - it 100% does not have to be jeans and a t-shirt. You can glam it up a bit more if that’s what you fancy. But if authenticity is what you’re after, you’re going to have to show up as yourself. And if you want to capture this time of your life in all its glory, then it’s about the feeling of being in your own skin.
I will also send a style guide and have a Pinterest board with many examples!
How can I prepare for my family shoot?
In the leadup to the shoot, get the kids excited about what’s to come. Show them some photos that I’ve taken, let them know that you’re really excited, that we’ll be playing lots of fun games, and there might even be delicious snacks on offer. This brings me to my next point…
Bring snacks. There are lots of variables in family shoots that are beyond our control. When photographing kids, I’ve learned relatively quickly that every plan is contingent on their mood. But snacks are an almost entirely failsafe mood booster for the little ones (and lots of adults I know, too!). Packing a stash of treats to bust out right when the kids need that slice of motivation buys us a lot of precious time and cooperation! I just ask that they not be bright blue, purple, or red suckers! They can stain their mouth and teeth! We don't want that on the photos!
If your kids want to bring their favorite stuffed toy or wear their favorite rain boots, let them! Authenticity is in the details.
Can I include my pet(s) in the session?
Any and all animals are welcomed during sessions! I LOVE animals! If you love your animal, then I love your animal. There is only one exception-tarantulas. You may have let out a laugh just now. But seriously if you bring one I will cry and run away and still expect to get paid for my troubles.....It's true. Don't even ask!
But any other animal, I'm all about it!
When can I expect my photos?
You will receive a preview of one - three photos within 24 hours of your session. I take time and care into hand-editing each session. These times can vary based on the time of year!
*Wedding turnaround 8-12 weeks pending busy season
*Family and other sessions 4-8 weeks pending busy season
