The Experience
Personalized.
Let’s capture your unique legacy. Have an upcoming milestone? Planning an adventure? Building a brand to share with the world? With customized service every step, we work with you to design a session that achieves your goals and incorporates your vision.
Flexible.
We provide flexible and personalized services by limiting the number of clientele we book each year. Need to reschedule due to illness? Need to pivot the time due to forecast? No problem. We are ready to adjust as needed to make your special session a success.
Authentic.
We work hard to have fun, elicit real smiles and capture authentic moments. Traditional portrait posing is a part of our process in addition to documenting the intimate in-between moments. We capture it all and provide a variety of imagery to fill your home and your hearts.
Our editing is vibrant and true-to-color, meaning it will be representative of the day and the scene, perhaps with just a kiss of warmth.
The Process
Each session is a success using a collaborative process that supports our clients as they desire every step of the way. Our session experience is designed to be personalized, flexible, and authentic to ensure a fun, memorable, and, most importantly, stress-free session. Multiple session collections and à la carte options allow us to build the legacy of memories each client desires with flexible investment levels.
The process and investment packages for our professional and corporate clients vary from our general portrait offerings, learn more here.

“Hi Amanda! Our book arrived today and looks beautiful! I can't believe how quickly it arrived! ”
Lynne
“I am eager to order some of the beautiful images you captured- they will always be happy memories of G's first year and life in Capitol Hill! . . . We still look back on ALL the images you took nearly one year ago and are so pleased with how they came out and so impressed at your skill to capture so many precious ones of G and all her expressions, it was by far one of the best decisions we made in her newborn year! Now, my regret is that we are not local anymore as we would be repeat customers! I absolutely love your photography and how patient you were to work with baby and dog to snap our forever family portraits! ”
Catherine
“Thank you so much!!! These are amazing!
I love them…”
Sarah
“My little family had the best time with Amanda. . . Our 4-year-old had a blast running around and Amanda was great with him. We also brought our newborn and we will cherish these pictures of this sweet moment in time as a new family of four forever. Scheduling was a breeze and we got a sneak peek of the images right away. The full gallery was available a couple of weeks after that. If you want beautiful photos and a well-organized, chill, and fun experience, book with Amanda!
