Hi there! I’m Amanda, a passionate photographer based in a cozy Cleveland suburb, where I live with my wonderful husband, Andy, and our three adorable kitties. In my spare time I love reading, painting, and playing video games. This year, I got to take on a new role as Auntie! My journey into photography has been a blend of lifelong curiosity, education, and serendipity. With a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Baldwin Wallace University and additional studies in Education and Literature, I’ve always been drawn to understanding people and their stories.

Photography has been a love of mine for as long as I can remember. My very first photo, taken at our family’s campground at Tappan Lake, was far from perfect—I cut off my parents’ heads! But those early experiments planted the seed for what would become my greatest passion. By middle school and high school, I was rarely seen without my trusty digital camera, capturing every moment I could.

In 2016 Andy gave me my first DSLR as a Christmas gift. From that moment on, I immersed myself in learning and perfecting my craft. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of documenting countless beautiful moments, each one as unique as the people I photograph.

What I love most about being a photographer is capturing honest, heartfelt emotions. There’s something magical about freezing a genuine laugh, a tender glance, or a joyful tear and turning it into a memory that will last forever. My goal is to create images that reflect who you truly are—authentic, warm, and uniquely you.

As an introvert, I understand how daunting it can be to put yourself in front of a camera. It’s a vulnerable place to be in, and we are our own worst critics most of the time. But my goal as your photographer is to curate an experience for you. Your photoshoot shouldn’t be a stressful experience; it should feel smooth, natural, and even fun. I want you to walk away from your shoot feeling like you’ve had a good time and made a new friend.

Thank you for considering me to tell your story. I’d love to connect and help capture the moments that matter most to you.
