MEET AMANDA

HAPPILY MARRIED SINCE 2011, MOTHER OF THREE AMAZING KIDS AND PHOTOGRAPHER OF LIFE'S BIG MOMENTS

I  believe in the "OMG is this real life!?" kind of moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that is found in the simplest of moments simply spent together. I believe in images that are begging to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to adore, reminisce and dare I say it, humbly brag. The limited amount of images on a roll of film forced me to put my camera phone down and really observe the beauty in the world and the people around me. Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of the people in the images, the season of life they are in and the exquisite world around them.

KIND WORDS

I capture and retell stories but my most favorite of all is this one. I met and married my best friend, Michael, right out of college. We met when I was attending the University of South Carolina. Since then, we've built a home filled with love for our babies and dogs. When I'm not working, you can find me with my family. They are my favorite people on the planet and we do literally everything together.

I love Chicago - it makes me feel alive. I love the variety of architecture, the diversity and inclusion of all people, the endless restaurants with complex and unique cuisine that will tantalize your taste buds and live rent-free in your memories. The sometimes over-the-top decor that makes you feel luxurious and special just for being in the space. The lavish kindness and hospitality from locals and visitors alike. The countless ways to relax, have fun and experience the day in ANY way you want to. So many of our family's favorite adventures take place in Chicago. From museums, art galleries, specialty exhibits, sporting and entertainment events, concerts, boat rides and river architecture tours, fireworks on the lake, dying the river green, holidays, everything. Chicago does it the best and I'm obsessed with it.

I'm a foodie. I love the experience of discovering new foods, new places and sharing recommendations. If you're looking for a brunch spot, a steakhouse or an off-the-grid Italian bakery for the best canolis - I'm your girl! And I'm always asking others for their favorite spots because I know I haven't discovered them all yet.

My favorite photos from of your wedding day are the real in-the-moment images that I capture throughout the day. The surprises, the tears of joy, the wild veil in the wind, heartfelt toasts, pure bliss and abandon on the dance floor - and that moment that the couple slows down and takes it all in. 

I'll admit, wedding details are my guilty pleasure.

I'm inspired by people and their stories. History, architecture, works of art, fashion and design. Traveling and exploring new places, cultures and cuisines. Sentimental details and the legacies behind them. My kid's sense of wonder, curiosity and exploration. And true love - I know, I know. but I'm a 90's kid and grew up on Disney.

does it sound like we would vibe?

INQUIRE NOW

LET'S SEE IF WE GO TOGETHER LIKE CHAMPAGNE AND CHEESECAKE

It's about more than hiring someone to hold a camera and snap a few pics.  Photography is about carefully crafting and capturing the moments in a way that beautifully tells the story of your most precious memories - the stories you're going to pass down to future generations - without being intrusive and allowing you to be fully present and enjoy every moment.
