Hello, I'm Amanda
Before I opened my Charlotte, North Carolina portrait studio in 2012, I remember loving that soft sunset light in photographs.
As a child of the 80’s I remember how painful the portrait experience could be and the thought of going to the portrait studio to have our family pictures made sent my mom into hysterics.
She STRESSED about what to wear and how to coordinate us all, so we looked like a family and not a group of people that worked for Costco.
This is why I bring to the table a STRESS-FREE portrait session experience.
I wanted my families to show up and love having their pictures made. I wanted them to look back generations from now and LOVE their memories.
This is one of the reasons why I carry over 60 dresses in my CLIENT CLOSET, and so many more options for children and babies.
I also have a background in art and design, helping so many of my families create heirloom albums and gallery walls, getting their images off their hard-drives and into their homes.
My professional portrait studio is located in the historic NoDa arts district, convenient to Uptown, Dilworth, Waxhaw, Matthews, Weddington, Huntersville, Indian Trail, Fort Mill, SC and through out the Carolinas.
Please stay a bit, look around, and see if we may be a good fit for each other.
My Philosophy
Photography shouldn't be painful, it should be light-filled and natural.
This is why all my photography focuses on the people in the photographs, and not props and weird sets
Kind Words
I have followed Amanda for awhile and always admired her gorgeous photos, so I was beyond excited for our session with her! She is so kind and patient and managed to get amazing shots of our family which is no easy feat with our two toddlers! She provided beautiful wardrobe choices for the whole family and made everything SO easy for us. Her photos are beautiful, classic and timeless. Amanda is truly talented and we can’t wait to work with her again in the future!
