HI, I'M AMANDA.
I’m a wedding, engagement, and lifestyle photographer based in Atlanta, Georgia who loves big, laughs at my own jokes until I nearly tinkle, and feels all the feels. When I’m not fan-girling over couples through a fancy box with a clicking shutter, you’ll find me at home in ATL flirting with my ginger-bearded, best friend of a husband who still gives me butterflies.
I’m a sender of positive vibes, a big fan of sporting my unicorn onesie whenever possible, and a believer in the Oxford comma. I've binge-watched The Office at least 6 times through, and there isn't a Netflix crime show I won't take a stab at (see what I did there?).
Connecting with people is my jam -- I’m that person in the grocery store line that will unintentionally eavesdrop and chime into conversation (#sorrynotsorry to our future children who may be deeply embarrassed by their mother). I live for those human experience moments where strangers find a good laugh and common ground together in unlikely places, like beside some produce on a conveyor belt. When all the sudden the world seems a little smaller and more friendly than before -- like we really are all in this together on this perfect gift of a planet.
I believe big love is in the little moments -- the can’t-talk-because-you’re-laughing-so-hard moments, the milestones, the playful ones, the ones that make you cry, the ones that words can’t fully describe, and everything in between. The best part about my job is loving on and investing in people wherever they’re at. To get to share these life experiences is awesome and magical in every way.
