Introduction: I always go above and beyond to make sure my clients are happy with their entire experience. Each client has different needs, so I take pride in being flexible and open to other ideas. I consider myself to be a life photographer. To me, that means I try to capture experiences, emotions, and moments more than just forced smiles and stiff poses. I love getting to meet new people, getting to see new places, and feel like I've accomplished something awesome at the end of the day. Photography is my passion. I couldn't do what I do if it wasn't. I was practically born with a camera in my hand, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It is a pleasure and an honor to be allowed into the lives of my clients for a time.

Amanda is a true artist in here photography. I have had her do photos for me and my family on numerous occasions and I have never been disappointed. She has a natural eye for photos that capture the moment with a beautiful artistic touch and makes that image tell an entire story.

Photographer was great to work with, and the pics were just what we hoped they would be. She did pics for our 1 year old birthday and worked with her very smoothly, coaxed out her personality and kept her interested in the surroundings all while taking shots. I would hire his studio again without reservation.

SSP's reply

Chris, I really appreciate the kind words and awesome review. It was an absolute pleasure getting to spend Zoe's birthday with her and meeting you & your wife. I'm so glad you like the photos. Of course, it's hard not to be able to capture some great shots when you have one of the most adorable little girls in the world in front of my camera! Thank you again!

Amanda was professional yet personal, an absolute pleasure to work with. She does amazing work, so very talented at capturing emotion and detail. Drove VERY FAR, always responded to my questions or comments and told our story through her pictures. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for my wedding day. I would definitely recommend Amanda and will be using her myself for future opportunities.

SSP's reply

I'm so sorry I didn't respond to this sooner. I just saw the review tonight when I signed in to upload my new logo. I really appreciate your sweet comments. Your wedding is one that I won't ever forget. It was a pleasure to work with you as well. I can't wait for the one year anniversary! I don't care where I live, I'll be there to capture the celebration! :) You guys rock!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I wouldn't say my pricing system is complicated, but it does vary depending on what services you're looking for in particular. You can check out my pricing and photo options at my website. If you would like to have something done that isn't listed, or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and we can discuss them.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I work with a new customer, I always do my best to assure their comfort level with me. Whether that means meeting up at my studio to chat and get to know each other, meeting at a local coffee house, or just allowing some extra time in the beginning... I want my clients to feel good about choosing to hire me. I am very laid back, yet always professional. I take my job seriously because, besides my family, it is the thing I am most passionate about in life.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am always learning, whether it's through my college classes, workshops, seminars, or just my own personal studying. Above all of that though, I think we learn best by doing. So, you'll find me with a camera in my hand all the time. I try to shoot as much as possible, even if it's just for fun.
