About
For over 20 years, I’ve been capturing life’s most precious moments — from heartfelt proposals and intimate weddings to growing families, maternity sessions, and private celebrations. My work is rooted in connection, joy, and the beauty of real life as it unfolds. One of my greatest honors as a photographer is being part of a family’s journey — capturing a couple’s proposal, photographing their wedding, celebrating their first pregnancy, and then documenting their child’s first birthday. I get to witness love evolve, families grow, and milestones become memories that last a lifetime. I specialize in children’s and family events, where laughter and authenticity shine brightest, as well as private gatherings for all ages — from baby and bridal showers to engagements, anniversaries, and milestone birthdays, from one year old to one hundred. Every chapter of life deserves to be celebrated. Working mostly outdoors, I’m endlessly inspired by the golden sunlight and salty air along the Southern California coast — from Santa Barbara to San Diego. Whether it’s a joyful family session on the sand, a romantic beach proposal, or a lively celebration surrounded by loved ones, I aim to create timeless, heartfelt images that tell your story naturally and beautifully. I’m here to capture all the precious moments in life — just as they are ***I don’t provide props for photo shoots, on site printing, video or photo booths***

She was very helpful on the front end. Helping pick a great location, helping pick a correct spot for the proposal. She was very communicative and responsive for any questions or concerns and was very flexible with any issues that arose that were out of our control. During the proposal, she stayed hidden very well and did an amazing job with posing after. We had great professional photos taken. Would highly recommend her for anyone who wants not only great pictures but great engagement photos. She was also a great and caring person who we truely felt cared about us in the process!

Look no further! Amanda was the perfect photographer for my son’s engagement photos! We felt so fortunate to have her insight, talents and expertise! We felt so comfortable with her from the first communication. Amanda is so genuine and authentic that you are comfortable with her instantly and it shows in the photographs. She is very talented, professional, and so sweet. She gave us invaluable advice and the photos were amazing! You won’t regret hiring Amanda!

Amanda is absolutely incredible! From our first chat, her talent and passion were obvious. She has a warm personality that made me feel instantly comfortable. She beautifully captured the essence of my mother-in-law's 108th birthday, blending seamlessly into the event to get perfect candid moments and heartfelt interactions. The photos are stunning, each one a story, reflecting the day's joy. Her fantastic eye for detail meant every shot was perfect. Working with her was stress free and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda!! She delivers stunning images and helped us preserve the magic of a very special day!

Amanda was amazing! I just got the pictures back from my event and they were fabulous. She captured everything that I wanted and more. She talked to me ahead of time about what I was looking for and she fully understood! Everyone at the event found her to be kind and easy to work with and I cannot make a higher recommendation! I have used other professional photographers but she is by far the easiest to work with. I do not usually do reviews, but I just could not help but do this one as I was so pleased with her work. Just FYI the other photographer I had hired cancelled a week before the job and I found Amanda and realized that this was a silver lining in disguise! Thank you Amanda

Our guests all loved her bright personality. I am absolutely in love with the photos she took! I will definitely recommend Amanda for any type of photoshoot and I can’t wait to have her for any other of our future events!
