I had my graduation pictures done with me and my son. She was great during the session at incorporating my son in the ways that I envisioned and about getting me and both of us into poses that were flattering for both of us and working with his out of pocket habits. She was very patient and sweet with him as well as with me and she worked really well with me to make sure I was getting what I wanted. The pictures turned out fantastic! She captured all of the poses and the moments that I wanted to be captured and the turn around time was less than what I thought! I would definitely recommend!
Details: Graduation portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • My home, venue, etc.

This was my first time using a professional photographer for portraits and I had a great experience with Amanda. She answered all of my questions and was very flexible. The pictures turned out great and I would definitely recommend to friends/family.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My starting price for an hour session is $300. Ask me about a mini session if you have young kids!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start with a booking guide that includes the steps I follow as well as a direct link to my calendar for availability and a quick questionnaire at the end. If you book with me through my guide, I follow up with a few additional questions, a contract, and invoice for a 25% non-refundable deposit.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been practicing photography since I was seven years old! I took pictures for my high school yearbook and newspaper, then moved on to photograph for my college newspaper as well. I also taught digital photography for six years!
