Hi! I'm Amanda.
I am a
portrait photographer.
I am a portrait photographer with over 5 years of experience capturing the heart and soul of Central Virginia. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m keeping up with my three adventurous boys—who love mountain biking, running, and swimming—or spending time with my husband, a farmer. My life has taught me the beauty of hard work, patience, and appreciating the little moments, which I bring into my photography.
​
My work spans a variety of portrait styles, from intimate maternity and newborn sessions to family portraits, seniors, couples, and professional headshots. No matter the subject, my goal is always the same: to tell your story in the most authentic way possible. I believe that the most beautiful photos come from real moments, which is why I focus on making sure you feel at ease in front of the camera.
​
Every person has their own unique energy, and I’m passionate about capturing that. I take pride in creating a relaxed environment where you can be yourself, which is why clients often say, “That was so easy!” Whether we’re shooting in the Virginia countryside or in the comfort of your home, my approach is about building a connection that lets your true self shine through.
​
Together, we’ll create something that’s not just beautiful, but deeply personal—a reflection of who you are.
