✨ Bridal Portraits but make them A WHOLE MOMENT. ✨

Would you believe me if I told you this beauty was just minding her own business, frolicking around the BLOC, enjoying a freshly squeezed lemonade from @lumos_andnox …when I snatched her up and threw her into a wedding dress?! Our original model couldn’t make the event so Lily filled in and did she bring the heat OR WHAT.

I’m still beaming over this weekend!

Yesterday was an absolute dream. Not only did we have our launch party for the new space, we hosted our first micro styled shoot series, and it was GLORIOUS. There was something so beautiful about being surrounded by the hustle and bustle of a party while still being able to create beautiful images with amazing humans. For that reason alone, these photos have an extra special place in my heart.

So many incredible people gave us their all for this day!

I’m still dreaming about the incredible local retreat I had the honor of attending last week. I was surrounded by so much skill, creativity, and incredible people. We made beautiful content and wonderful connections. Which is really all a girl can ask for these days. 😍 Already counting down the days until the next one.

🤘🏻 Loud pipes, wild hearts, and wedding vows that hit harder than the throttle.

I’d be lying if I said my heart didn’t skip a beat every time I see a beautiful bike. This one had my blood pumping.. Just like these two lovebirds.

As the weather warms up, here’s your gentle reminder to stay off your phones and keep a look out for riders. 😘😘😘

We had our first baby in @thebloc716 🤍 What a sweet, sweet family. I may have cried actual tears while editing these photos. This past year has made me realize just HOW important these moments with our babies are. Nothing else matters but the gentle squeeze of your newborn fingers and the belly laughs.. don’t get me started on the belly laughs 😍 Even in the midst of the tiny disagreements between battling siblings… we’re still connecting and growing together, and that is everything. 🤍

What a blast it was creating these florals 😍 it’s a new version of self care- frolicking through the isles of JoAnn’s with an iced coffee and scooping up all the discounted florals- to create something so beautiful!
For any upcoming studio sessions- we’ll be enjoying these at @thebloc716 🤍

Can’t wait to see everyone!

Can we talk about how my brother in law chose the most incredible human on earth to be his wife? And her name also happens to be Amanda!
We are soul sistas and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m so honored to be standing up in their wedding next September, and even more honored I was able to photograph their announcement photos. I just love these two so much.

*incoming “heart on my sleeve” post!*

It’s true. I’m such a sap. And after my recent breast cancer diagnosis, I’m the sappiest sap in the sappiest sap forest. Every single moment carries so much weight, and these past few months have been the hardest challenge of my life. Chemotherapy truly almost took me out!! But I’m still here. Gearing up for surgery and preparing to declare being cancer free. 🤞

Upon diagnosis the ONLY thing that truly broke me. And I mean tore up every cell in my body. Is having to face a reality where I might not be here for my babies. Who at the time were 1 and about to turn 3. I found my lump days before Thea’s 3rd birthday. There’s no words to describe just how precious these moments are. And the amount of times I replayed those early newborn days in my head, reminiscing about just how perfect their little features were (and still are) and just how damn lucky I am to be THEIR mother.

So truly.. when I say that I feel like the luckiest woman in the world, to be able to document these moments for my couples. I mean it with my entire soul. I feel like I’m living life with a refreshed outlook and have the honor of fully indulging in the romantic aspects of the mundane and the spectacular ecstasy of becoming a mama. To watch this couple renew their vows in front of their loved ones, and to now document them becoming parents… I SOB. Pinch me yall..

So thank you to everyone showing me grace as I move slowly through my business! I’m juggling more than I can express in an instagram post. And for the ones who have shown patience, compassion, and understanding as my family navigates this.. you mean the world to me. I feel myself slowly becoming whole again the further I get from my last chemo treatment. And I can’t wait to be all caught up and sharing the future adventures with you all. There’s some life changing things in store!! 🤍
Love you relentlessly,

Xoxo Amanda

Working overtime catching up on all the things this week! But today I picked up my camera for the first time in 2 months and it was truly the most amazing feeling ever.
Every day has been a challenge since my diagnosis in June, but I’m finally bouncing back from chemo and enjoying more energy each and every day. I’m so excited to share with you all the things that have been happening! But for now, I’m catching up on emails, sending out galleries, and counting my blessings for these creative sessions every single day.

My soul is still on fire from this perfect moment. I just love watching people become parents. 🤍 How stunning is this new mama? .

THIS WEEKEND. No scratch that— this whole WEEK. Was filled with a new and adventurous engagement session, a whimsical wedding from the heavens, bomb-shell boudoir moments, followed by a full day of free photos and Mother’s Day lovin’ today at the Botanical Garden’s event. I’m feeling so full and so grateful that I’m living the dream with this “job” of mine. Instagram just isn’t ready for all the sneaks to come this week! 😍🤍🤍 thank you all for keeping me busy, and loved!

10/10 recommended kanoodling your best friend at Riverworks and bringing your favorite photographer along. 🤍

PS instagram I still don’t forgive you for your criminal crop. And I apologize in advance for the 100 photos of these two cuties I’m about to spam your feed with

I’ve noticed a beautiful side effect from giving my wedding couples 20% off boudoir sessions. I simply get more time with them.. and it’s in a way more casual and carefree setting. We get to play dress up, fully pamper ourselves, and talk about all the amazing weddings things (or vent about wedding stress which is always welcomed). But in the meantime we’re building each other up, getting in touch with deeper parts of ourselves, and making beautiful art. The kind that belongs over every fire mantel in a 1000 mile radius.

I mean really though! How gorgeous is this bride in her mini veil. #vibes

Okay it’s definitely not that serious. We all know there’s plenty of time. But man.. that Diet Coke hits different on a wedding day 💯 👌🏼

Nothing comes between a bride and her photos..Not even a grumpy groom🫡

It’s officially been two years since I started my photography journey. I’ve let myself stray in all the ways.. the pressure to conform in this industry is criminal! But it’s not the industry’s fault, it’s my own perception of value.

I’ve always found myself jumping from style to style, warm and moody, light and airy, cozy minimalist, dramatic maximalist. But when I strive to hit these notes and fall short, I throw my own self worth in the trash.

I think I’m the back of head I was always trying to define my style in a way that will appeal to the “highest paying client”.. With maybe some subtleties of feeling like an imposter trying to make “art”. But I’ve realized that its just too daunting.

✨ And I give up!

I give up trying to appeal to the masses.

I give up trying to be the photographer for e.v.e.r.y.o.n.e.

I give up trying to appeal to other photographers who are always looking for my consistencies (or lack there of)

And I’m establishing 2024 as the year I make art for me, and the ones who appreciate my *undefined* and unrefined, inconsistently perfect way of capturing emotion and experience. If you’re still here for this wild ride, thank you. I’m excited to be able to give myself FULLY to the ones who jive with me, and I’m grateful for you to be a part of it. 🙏
