Amanda Clarke Fotos

For over 20 years, I’ve photographed the moments people want to remember—not just how they looked, but how they felt. My style blends cinematic documentary photography with a touch of editorial polish, inspired by the natural light, movement and beauty of the California coast. The Amanda Clarke Fotos experience is relaxed, personal and thoughtfully guided from your first inquiry through gallery delivery. I help with planning, location, timing and all the little details so that when we’re together, you can simply be present. During our time together, I use movement, conversation and the natural surroundings to help you settle into the moment. And sometimes, we turn up the music. 🎶 I love learning what my clients listen to and bringing those songs into our time together. Music creates movement, breaks down walls and makes space for genuine connection—whether it gets your kids dancing, brings you closer to the person you love, or simply helps you forget there’s a camera nearby. Photography freezes a feeling. Music helps us find it. It’s another layer of storytelling—and a way for me to bring two art forms I love together while creating photographs that feel like you. I’m not searching for perfectly posed photographs. I’m looking for your moments—the laughter, wind, movement, connection and beautiful in-between.
