Allow myself to introduce...myself.
My name is Amanda and I want to tell your story! I'm cheesy, nerdy, and a whole lot of fun to work with. My vibe is best described as candid with a photo journalistic approach and just little bit of sass.
Photography has been the way I have interpreted the world around me since I awkwardly picked up my first camera. It's a way to capture moments that most miss, a way to tell a unique story, a way to feel. I fell in love with film as soon as I saw my first poorly developed photo emerge in my high school's darkroom and haven't stopped since.
So, why do I love it?
I love to empower people! I want to hype you up, bring your creative visions and dreams to life, and I want to give you an incredible experience. I walk into every photography session with that goal in mind - to empower. To uplift. To inspire.
Other fun things to know about me?
I live off caffeine. I love books, antiques, and oddities. My garden is awesome and so are my cats. I'm always up for a game of Commander or a random side quest, and I travel whenever an opportunity presents itself.
My experience?
Let's get down to it! I graduated in 2011 from Cleveland State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Photography and Drawing. I have photographed over 50 weddings, events & projects all over Cleveland (including work for MoCa, University Hospital, and the LGBT Center of Greater Cleveland), as well as my own creative portrait projects. I specialize in wedding & event photography, and portraiture. Additionally, I have several years of experience photographing school portraits & events geared toward little ones.
