Hi! I’m Amanda.

I am a mom, a strategic visual communicator, and a nature lover. I have visited 25+ U.S. National Parks, crave road trips, eat all the things (except gluten for this Celiac), and travel as much as I can. I’m based in Capitol Hill, D.C. and our community means the world to me.

Since taking my first photography class at a summer camp in third grade, my love for photography has only grown stronger.  I was always the girl with a camera in my hand (before cell phone cameras). 

I’ve cultivated my craft through formal education and while working hands-on and embracing diverse opportunities including managing a school photography division, studying under and working alongside internationally known photographers and educators, managing the retouching and design department at a post-production company, and until recently, serving as a staff photographer and visual communications lead for federal agencies. I’ve worked as a professional photographer since 2005, but I’m never done learning.

My passion today lies with traditional and documentary portraiture, fine-art nature and landscape work, environmental conservation advocacy, stewardship and providing special needs families with photography services that meet their child's unique needs. I delight in opportunities to connect with my clients and form lasting relationships.

Let’s have some fun together!
