About Amanda
Oh hey there! Thank you for visiting my photography portfolio. I've been a Professional Photographer for 7 years (where has the time gone?!). I started as a hobbyist 12 years ago, and that hobby quickly became an obsessive, artistic passion that led me down an alternative life path, allowing me to meet some amazing people and explore incredible places along the way.​
My philosophy with photography is simple - I understand how to use light to be creative and to capture beauty, emotion, complexity and depth. I'm a versatile Professional who shoots both in-studio and on-site using flash (both on camera & off) and available light. My portrait work is edited to be classic and true to life, and I take pride in my technical skills to fine-tune and control lighting to achieve spectacular images.
I specialize in both classic and creative portraiture for couples, students, families, pets, athletes and businesses. I love capturing meaningful events such as weddings and elopements, and have a timeless editing style that prints beautifully on a variety of mediums for in-home or office display.
​
I am a quirky goof and believe in bringing my light-hearted energy and sense of humor to make every professional session relaxed and enjoyable.​
​
Portland, Oregon is where I call home, but I travel frequently for work. I look forward to connecting with you soon to make your engagement, wedding, elopement, or portrait vision come to life.
