I take pictures
first with my heart...
and then with my camera.

Before I say anything, know this:
Here, you are seen. You are heard. 
Finding a photographer that you trust and feel safe welcoming into your intimate moments is crucial. 

Someone who listens. 
Someone who honors you and your story. 
Someone who values process–by starting with the end product in mind, tailor-made for you (and the end product is pretty damn incredible). 

Here’s what I believe: 
You deserve to feel and look your best. Full stop. That includes your frame of mind, too. Being relaxed, confident, carefree, and completely at ease is essential to loving your experience and allowing the honesty to come through in your photographs. 

I’ve got my camera at the ready.
Let’s make magic. 

The artist’s dossier: 
Mama of two littles with my lover of twelve years
You can find me tucked away in the woods of Vermont–it’s been home for fifteen years!
I am a certified herbalist, Doula, and holistic bodyworker. I wanted to be three things when I was young; a fashion designer, an artist and a ballerina. So far I've checked one of the boxes but...life is long!  

I was just fourteen when my art teacher, Mrs. Davis, unlocked the world for me. She sat me down in front of a Sally Mann book and my life never looked the same again. 

I picked up my mother’s old, dusty Nikon and Mrs. Davis gave me the creative’s crash course in composition, reading light, metering, and developing my own film. To say I became obsessed would be the understatement of the century. I made anyone and everyone my subject. I spent so much time in the darkroom that Mrs. Davis eventually gave me my own key. During all four years of high school, I spent nearly every afternoon in that pitch black, cramped room reeking of chemicals. It was heaven. Twenty years later and I’m still just as in love with making art (and just as excited when I get my film scans back)!

My soulful background in energy and body work empowers me to be deeply attuned to my subject (with an eye for subtleties). I studied at the Art Institute of Boston and obtained my BFA in Museum Studies at Arizona State University. My natural, intuitive energy blends with my studies in the arts to craft an elevated aesthetic that balances both the beauty and the depth of this life. My job is to work behind the scenes as your event or session unfolds naturally so you can let go, get lost in the moment, and most of all–have fun. 

I'm amanda
